[QUOTE="seif5034, post: 334068, member: 342"] Hey all, I have an old Delhi 1232. I want to start bowfishing local waters next season. I am just not too sure if I'll be able to pull this off with any success because of the weight limits of my boat along with it only being a 1232 It'll be fairly tippy trying to stand up to shoot. I'll be (more than likely) on the water by myself. <200lbs I have access to a Johnson 6 hp outboard that I'd need to fix up (not sucking gas) Was thinking about running a $100 Genny from Harbor freight powering 2 or 3 Halogen work lights I also have a 46#? thrust Troll motor tiller steer. That just seems like an awful lot of weight to put in a little 1232 and a lot of gear taking up space. Do any of you bowfish from a small boat like this? Would I be OKAY bowfishing during daylight in stead? Or is dayfishing pretty poor? That'll reduce the amount of gear needed by a significant amount. I really want to build a bigger boat, but I don't have any money to drop on a new rig. I'm just hoping I can make the 1232 work. Thanks for any input and/or advise! [/QUOTE]
