[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 148350, member: 1523"] Free is good. I had one last winter for a couple months until it sold. Decent boat, almost a canoe as far as stability goes. I guess my question is what are you going to do with it? What type of fishing? Bass, Cats, Bluegills. Anchored of moving? Summer, winter, day or night? What kind of access do your ponds have? Ramps or bank launch? I'd be all over craigslist looking for a cheap utility trailer you could morph into a boat hauler. Something light so it moves easily. Personally I'd try to design it light weight and simple layout. Lay it out so you can do everything from one spot, probably from the rear seat. Transom trolling motor, an anchor cleat back there. Batteries up front. Rod storage on one side. Probably get a sheet of 1/8" aluminum and just deck between the ribs with insulation board built up to make a flat deck. Get one of the nice Tempress seats so it's comfortable and enjoy. To me it's a bit too narrow to be a comfortable stand up boat. I guess another question is what skills and tools do you possess to get the work done? Looks like a fun boat that's been used well and well used. Jamie [/QUOTE]
