    Default New boat did great

    Finally got the lil bream wackin, wood duck bustin, red fishin, ditch boat out for the first time. I am happy to say I got less than 500 bucks in it like it sits and it will be a well used part of the arsenal. Doesn't quite get on plane with my fat arse in it but moves good enough with the 4.5. Has a small leak I need to run down but nothin a bailin sponge cant take care of for the present. This thing really surprised me at how stable it was. Me and another person was able to stand up and bream fish without it being too terribly shaky. Pretty solid for 12 1/2 foot. Hope to put up lots of pics of it full of blood n scales.

    I really miss mine as well. Can't wait to get another. Just need to find one at a deal to get the old lady to approve.

    I regret ever letting my parents get rid of the one we had when I was a kid. 13.5' RH with a 3hp Johnson. That thing was tough and stable.
