It depends on were you fish and when you fish. We fish a 1648 built for 10hp or total electric lakes. We have a 9.9 outboard, a 55lb transom mount and 45 bow mount trolling motors. I don't run both the trollers at the same time, but could if needed. We don't go out any more if the wind is much...

Moved and spread 1/2 a dump truck load of cedar mulch and mowed the lawn for the first time this year Saturday. Raining today. Going to Cosco for meat to restock freezer. It's tough cooking for just 2 sometimes. We usually by meat in bulk and break it down an vacuum pack into 1 meal quantities...

I live in North Georgia and fish electric most of the time mainly because I don't want to be on the large lakes with all the traffic. Understand that the boat and motor combo you are talking about will not plane and your top speed will be less than 10mph. All of this is fine if you are...

People love them here. Caught at this time of year when the water temp is in the low 60s they are great. Later in the season when the water temps are in the mid 80s not so much.

Did the normal spring maintenance on the boat and it's ready for another season. One of the advantages of a tinnie this size is at 71 we...

Too young to be fully retired, so I'll be working.

Same here. 100% Freshwater. None of my boats I have owned have ever seen saltwater or brackish water.

The wife and I have been very fortunate. We got the jab at the insistence of our kids. We are both 71 and I worked with the public through the whole deal. Neither of us have gotten it to date. We are the only ones in our family to not get it. All of our kids and grand kids have had it at least...

Welcome aboard. Pictures or it didn’t happen 😉

I tow with a Honda Ridgeline. You shouldn't have a problem with the Pilot.

I was a dedicated ice fisherman when we lived in northern Indiana. But no ice in Georgia.

Merry Christmas all.

It won't ruin the motor, just the lower end as has been suggested. Props are cheap in comparison.

Served in the navy as a 2nd Class Engineman. Hard to believe it's been 50 years ago. Served with lots of good folks.
