[QUOTE="satx78247, post: 443776, member: 11019"] kalnimn, WELL, a few thoughts: 1. I don't fish for bass, but do fish for channel cats & crappie, so NOT a "bassboat", by any means. 2. I plan to run trotlines & set-hooks in some of the lakes, rivers & saltwater bays in South TX. 3. I'll fish the river mouths & shallow TX bays for Flounder, Reds & Specks. 4. I'll power the big Johnny with a rebuilt 1958 SEA KING electric-starting, short-foot 35HP outboard. (The Sea King is a Johnson Big Twin "clone" that was sold by Montgomery Wards. It runs like a Swiss watch.) 5. I need space for 3 six-gallon gas tanks. 6. I 'll want at least TWO swivel & COMFORTABLE bucket seats for my lady & I, for long days on the4 water. 7. I'll want rod racks (for rods to 9' long) along the sides, a live-bait well, a fish well & an icebox, too. 8. I much prefer a stick-steering system to a wheel on a console. 9. I want "built-ins" for TWO batteries and 10. A "comfort station" for her would be NICE. = A "hassock-style" with top. yours, satx [/QUOTE]
