So last year I bought a lake house! I’m living the dream, I can walk out my back door and go fishing. Only catch is I live on a bay that’s so choked with lily pads/weeds regular boats can’t get through to open water.
Here it is before the pads get too bad
My solution is to build a swamp boat! I bought a Lowe Rover 1640 for $700. Included a trailer, 25 horse motor, and plenty of rotten wood.
Here she is after I got her stripped down and evicted all the mice
I traded the motor for a nice John Deere snow blower, and bought a surface drive to replace it
I spent the rest of the season fishing out of it as is
Plans are to add some decking and make it a little more comfortable to fish out of for this season. Stay tuned!
