JRammit Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Took a break from lure making to fix a leak in my boat... Ended up re-doing the whole thing Its a 12/32 made by Sears in 1979... My uncle bought it from a scrap yard and gave it to me 5 years ago... Small boat, not very stable (Unc actually fell out of it once Edited April 18, 2016 by JRammit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRammit Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Thanks Bob Its about perfect for the waters i fish... 20-40 acre "lakes".. All public, moderate pressure (rarely see more than 3 or 4 other boats there).......... But some day id like a real boat for the real lakes... Im sure im missing out on some big bass!

Vodkaman Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I went for a boat ride in Phuket. The guy had 3x Mercury 250cc o/b motors strapped to the back - I think I would feel much safer in yours Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3-Mercuries seemed like a good idea at the time, but the driver was too close to the edge for my liking.

Musky Glenn Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 We all do what we have to do, but there is also the point of missing some of the fun of fishing by trying to stay comfortable in a "wiggly" boat. Be safe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW Lures Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 JR, I have one about that size and it great to go where other boats can't get. I use it to float shallow water river. Example the James River west of the fall line. Some nice fish has been caught from that boat. Fish On Bro!! Tight lines, Dale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be safe Thats the truth! My back and legs kill me after a long day of "balancing"... I can tell I'm not getting younger! But the time is coming to retire this old aluminum bucket!.... Just this month I took a big step for the future... I landed the best job I've ever had!... Top of the truck driving ladder! The first year will be a little rough, but by 2018 I'll be looking at Bass Trackers!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't found a place yet that my boat won't go!!! Ive even been known to drag it into secluded creeks and ponds.. Through the woods down little game trails, across pastures, over and under fences........ That's probably where all the leaks came from in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW Lures Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Keep that one JR, you will find out what I'm talking about. I have boats that fit the area I want to fish. I'm up in age but I'll jump in mine in a heart beat if I'm going to a certain water. Dale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
