Floating in a foot of water fishing with prop up out water. Ha, I’m not running 14” man.

Looking to go from an 18’ to a 22ft. I fish mostly Louisiana Gulf Coast inshore marshes for Red fish in very shallow like 12”-18” and bays for Spec trout. Also go to Toledo Bend for bass and booze cruising with friends and family. Storage for boat is no longer an issue. Right now with the 18’ I...

Game camera pretty good idea. Unless the boat is covered, that motion detector would go off frequently through the night from cats, birds, etc. Right now I’m in a pretty safe area with it in parking lot next to our vehicles. Leaving for home tomorrow. If I was at some random hotel off interstate...

I’m actually in MO at this moment. We were on Lake Taney Como yesterday. Mind blowing huge trout on the walls of Lilley’s Landing. Towed my boat 9 hours up here from South La. Leaving this morning to go fish Table Rock as soon as I get off this toilet!!! LOL I dropped the trailer so we could go...

Great info bro. I was told recently by my Dodge dealer my tranny needed to be replaced. I replaced a $90 sensor on tranny and changed the fluid/filters and it’s fine. Dealers can eat my……fill in whatever body part is appropriate.

Maybe his boat is light vs avg 22ft bay?

Haven’t really narrowed it down to a specific brand or model yet. Just know that after having my 18ft, I want a 22ft-24ft for how I use it. I definitely want aluminum hull and Yamaha F motor. I have storage issues to work out first, before I get too far down the new boat rabbit hole.

I follow same 80% philosophy. I use 3/4 ton trucks. Currently in a Ram 2500 Hemi which does fine on my work trailer. While my truck was down recently, I drove my son’s 4Runner and was thinking about getting one since it towed decently. However I know I’m getting a 22ft boat in the near future...

Good info. That helps me. I’ll just call it 5000lbs for 22ft aluminum bay package.

Wow 4400lbs on a H20. H22 will be more.

The 4runner is 5000lbs

Good info. I tow about 4-5 days a week. I’m thinking 4runner could pull it off, but there are just better tools for the job I guess. Sequoia probably better option.

Looking at getting 22ft bay aluminum boat and double axle aluminum trailer w/brakes (think 175-200hp G3 or Xpress). Does 3000-3500lbs sound about right for package weight? The G3 website is the only one that has a package weight listed. However don't know which trailer it correlates to. And they...

After a few trips, I'm happy with the Penn Pursuit. 20lb braid and it is a long distance casting machine. However, 3000 size is a little too big for the inshore marsh stuff we do. Out of the 3 rod/reels I bring, I use it the least. However it will have a place for when we go after the bigger...

That is crazy. What do y'all do for some type of under coating protection? I imagine you would do a coating when it's brand new.

Billy, I stand corrected. Being from down here we don’t see rust problems like y’all experience up north. Never heard anyone say anything bad about them before. The older Tacoma is a highly valued vehicle here, but I see how the early models had a box frame that caused a big corrosion...

Billy, I believe you should have kept that Tacoma. You would be in possession of the rarest one ever made. Could be a collector. LOL

Our water pressure finally is strong enough for a shower this morning. However temps going down to 26 next two nights, so I imagine it will be whore baths until Mon/Tues. LOL Our utility system just isn’t prepared for any type of extended freezing weather. Based on history, it doesn’t make...

My “Iced Out” Excursion Project. LOL

I had that exact Tacoma 98 reg cab 4x4 5 spd 4 cyl. It was awesome. I don't remember a 6 spd ever being available. That truck was a mountain goat. I put 33's on it and did some serious wheeling in it. I put 270k miles on it and just did oil/filters/tires/brakes. Literally zero broken stuff. One...
