    Anchor Winch - good or bad

    I had looked at these also and wondered about them. I finally just decided that whoever fished with me would fish from the back of the boat, (where the anchor is)...Problem solved.

    Glad its over..

    Yeh, my boy was doubled over holding his ribs gasping for air and we heard, "stay on him, go ahead and hurt him, he's scared." That was the wrong thing to say. We took it from there. The surprising thing is that these folks had no connections to this kid. And not to take anything away from...

    Glad its over..

    I had to have my son at a Taekwondo tourney early this morning. This thing lasted all day. Wasnt too bad for the most part. My son took 1st in forms, 3rd in board breaking and 2nd in sparring. This is the kicker, while sparring for 1st place he took an awsome kick to the side. We thought...

    paddle holders

    I have roughly the same thing as those from Bass Pro except mine is aluminum. Looks like it was made in the boat. When this rain stops and I can uncover my boat Ill try to get a pic up for you. Mine works really well. Keeps the paddle secure and out of the way and doesnt take up any rod space..

    Preferance

    2006 I tore some ligaments. 3 yrs and 5 surgeries later Im actually probably as close to normal as Ill get. Ended up with a fused wrist ( which prevents me from using a tiller steer) Now I have torn tendons in my left elbow due to my left arm having to pull the weight for my right arm...

    Preferance

    Okay guys, I dont want to start any kind of argument here but I need input from everyone. Im not real experienced when it comes to boats, I just sold my Big Jon with tiller steer due to broken wrist and torn ligaments and Im having to go to a steering wheel. Right now Im looking at a 17'...

    Year of boat from hull ID?

    According to the GA DNR web site, the last 3 numbers should be manufacture date and year. Yours is 989, should be manufacture in sept 1989. Double check me at the web site. Look under hull identification. S.Koonce
