[QUOTE="CMOS, post: 437349, member: 15462"] This post may seem a bit silly to some, and well, maybe it is. :mrgreen: I did a full restore on my 1963 14' Lone Star boat, and added a 9.5 HP 1966 Johnson motor. Solid rig and she runs like a scalded dog. I use it thus far, at a local fresh water lake. Here's my dilemma - I've recently gotten highly interested in some salt water fishing in the Matagorda Bay area on the Texas coast. The East Bay is not easily accessible unless you have a "bay boat" (literally a FLAT bottom boat that can run in about 12" of water), a kayak, or a small shallow tinner boat. The other option to access the shallows in the bay is to have a GOOD 4x4 to get to the southern parts of the bay to wade in. I don't have a 4x4. The shallows fishing in this bay is GREAT for Red Fish, flounder, and Speckled Trout, but you've got to get into the shallows. I'm kinda anal about keeping my boat clean and tidy, so if I'm going to put this in salt water I'll have to get over that. So, should I? CMOS :?: [/QUOTE]
