Andy, i already have a jon boat, i can get that thing almost anywhere you can get your kayak, only i can carry more gear (and more beer

Points taken... Looking out for one another is what we do here..... I appreciate all the heads up! If it seems too good to be true, it uaually is... Hopefully this will be an exception to that rule! I will give it a good looking over and post more pics when/if i get it home

Also... When i told my neighbor (who owns an auto body repair shop) about the boat, i found out hes also a certified marine mechanic and would be happy to look over it for me..... The stars are lining up!

Travis... I wasnt looking for or planning to buy a boat yet, even though ive been waiting 34 years to have one (yes, i wanted a boat when i was born) there are more important things the family needs first that will require any savings i can muster up I believe everything in life happens for a reason.... Ive been holding onto that old truck for 4 years, reluctant to sell because the "blue book" doesnt match the sentimental value.... I finally caved in and then this happened...... I believe something or someone somewhere thinks i deserve a boat! Btw, the deal was $500... Worst case scenario im sure i could pull the motor out and get my money back selling it

Thanks rhahn!... I have forgotten the plug in my jon boat more times than i care to admit!.... I didnt know about the tow insurance, good idea! Luckily the friend i am buying it from is a mechanic, plus since its an inboard i should be able to perform minor repairs if needed.... I dont know the first thing about outboards though!

Ive never worn one, but i only pour for myself... My guess would be it depends on the amount you pour....... If i were making and selling thousands of baits a day, i would definitely invest some of that money back into a ventilator!.......... But i rarely make more than a dozen baits in a night, so i feel safe

I like the bungee idea!.. But who would carry it?... I couldnt find anything under 1/8" on Google As for changing it up... This is the 1st "Hungry Lure", but not the last

Then ive been doing it the hard way!... Next trip to Lowes: blue painters tape ✔

Genious!.... You sure do have alot of uses for that blue painters tape!... If i didnt know any better id think u were a salesman for 3M...

I like this!.... Whats your trick for keeping it square? Hair straightener?

Hollow mono huh??... Hmmm??.... That's a good option! Getting some good stuff here!

This is a well kept secret between us members.... We tell our wives that tackle is expensive and its cheaper to make our own! Your bait looks great btw!... Im a big fan of this style jerk bait, my 1st ever attempt was at one like it (also a Rapala copy) but quickly found out how finicky they are... So i give you props!... Im yet to get back to mine, but it is on the to do list, i will have to keep the lip thickness in mind as well

fshng... Thanks!!.... Thats the same knot i used, except i know it as "the Rapala knot"

I havnt seen it yet, just pics.. Dont even know what make, but the deal was so good that it dont matter! I do know it has an inboard/outboard 4cyl Mercruiser... And it runs!

I finally found a buyer for my old dodge, and just so happen to have a friend selling this boat for the same price! Its not a fishing boat, but too good of a deal to pass up!!!... And after years of fishing out of a 12' jon boat, im sure i can manage with this one! Im picking it up sometime next week and hope to get it wet next weekend!!!..... This is my 1st REAL boat

Sounds like a bug... I get bugs on my graphing paper sometimes, but i grab the fly swatter and they dissapear

Ive found plastic cut out from old milk jugs to be extremely strong and flexible... If it bends, you can bend it back and it holds its shape...... Plus its free!!!

The fish is convex in the pic... I didnt know if it was representing the cavity or the master... The pour cavities are concave.... But i still dont see anything swimming

I dont get it??... Is this a CAD joke??

Is that an invite???... If so, i hope i can take you up on it someday!.... You only live once, but you know how life is... Burdens first, dreams second...
