Well sold the quad and decided to upgrade my little aluminum boat that I built into one a little bigger. The boy is growing and we are getting cramped so it was time.
Sure I would have fun with a big 21ft. modern bass rig with 225hp, but in reality I don’t need it or can afford it,,,lol!
I found an original condition package built deal ProCraft 165 Pro Yr.2005 for a good price and in good condition. Believe me I looked at allot of junk that people wanted 5k for that wasn’t worth 2k! just like the atv world. It’s rated for up to 90hp, but it has the package deal 50hp Mercury is all. But its good enough for me. Should run mid 30’s plus depending on weight.
I’ve been working on getting back into the bass circuit for the last year or so now, and this will work for the local level bass clubs. Hopefully I can qualify for a FLW event like I did back in the 90’s. Back then it was the Redman circuit that i qualified for as an amateur though, (I fished in the back of a pro’s boat)and I did very well with it….paid off my first home from doing that stuff…but I’m just keeping fun in mind for me and the boy and some local competition and see how it goes. Not as young as I once was, and with back and hip surgeries in the past. 8hr. fishing days for 3 days straight..And keeping your focus takes allot of commitment,,,,but I’m not dead yet so I will give it another go at almost 50yrs old..its been almost 20yrs. since I competed and owned my Bass Pro shops,,,,man time flies!!
It runs like new and was well taken care of. Needs a couple of little things, and a real good clean up as I’m picky about those things,,but at least it was garage kept and washed. I gotta polish up those wheels, and trailer, and boat. And replace a couple seats with my preferred fishing seats,,although i used to just stand,,lol!
Well here is one pic, and a couple of pics of me and the boy out doing some fishing in our little tin boat that I built last week. I will hate to see the little boat go as we had allot of fun in it, but its to the point I can only run it alone. My little boy isn’t so little anymore at 250lbs. and me at 200lbs.,,the poor little boat is gonna sink,,,,lol!
