    Stolen trout

    Still afloat that’s great that you were able to get the old fella on some fish and a good memory for him of the “ one that got away” When I was a kid my dad somehow latched into an owl during a cast fishing at night from a boat. Was nuts for a few minutes. The line finally broke.

    Well, I did it…. Minn Kona help needed

    The boat I use on electric lake is a light Jon boat alumacraft 15/42, before that it was a 14 foot Jon , same motor. The water is calm for the most part, so yeah huge difference between that and your scenario. I’ll remember that advise if I ever crack that motor open again. Though I’m not sure...

    Well, I did it…. Minn Kona help needed

    I do it weekly. Run my 24 volt 80 pound minnkota terrova on 10 for at least 40 minutes straight, fish around for a few hours then do the same on the way back. Using LiFePo4 batteries. Only had the one problem a couple years ago. Fried red cable inside the head. I pulled the armature this winter...

    I can say from experience 🙁 that if you don’t have a circuit breaker on your power source at some point, you certainly can fry the wires in a minnkota terrova. Smelled it first, then the smoke. Was an easy fix.

    Can anyone tell me about this boat?

    That knee brace is 100% the same as a 1972 sears jon boat I had. Not much else matches though. Different model??? Only picture I have.

    That blue paint is a classic ouachita color .

    Do I really "need" a casting deck?

    Honestly I can skip baits way better sitting in the back of my jon boat than I can off the casting deck of my crestliner. I can slip baits in almost anywhere. But for pitching, yes casting deck is an advantage.

    Interesting week

    Nice going on the Big D. Had an invite to fish the Delaware today on my buddies boat South of lampertville for stripers. Prior commitment so I had to turn him down. Heads up.Try to keep those fish off the carpet. It wipes away their slime, not good for them.

    Adding charging system to 1986 Merc 9.9 2-stroke?

    Lots of small compact inverter generators for sale on marketplace for around 200$. At least around here there are.

    cabin height & stability

    Not to mention a 6 foot tall “ cabin “ on such a light boat in good wind. 🙄

    Boat ramp traffic way down and fewer boats on the water?

    Same here. Perfect weather weekend here, and the knuckleheads wil be out. Last week after an early morning of fishing. I dealt with an entitled kayaker at the ramp when I came back to leave. He had his little plastic yak tied to the dock. Pickup parked sideways blocking the whole ramp and he...

    cabin height & stability

    12 foot is a small boat to build a cabin on. I wouldn’t encourage it. JMHO.

    Placement of Marine Charger/Maintainer?

    I wouldn’t worry about it. The charger in my crestliner is almost touching the tank.
