I just about lived in a jon fishing ponds and small rivers as a kid. Then I took way too many years off from fishing while slaving and raising a family, but I'm back with a vengeance. Kids are grown and I have the right wife now.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> I'm a fly fisherman and I mostly wade. But I have the boat itch again for stalking carp and bass. So I picked up an old, cheap 1232 to play with. After learning from the accumulated genius on here, I'm ready. Got my Steelflex, lab metal, 5200 on order. Not gonna go crazy on it because it's too narrow for the dream boat. Transom work, jack plate for a little 4 stroke, patches, paint and a simple ply/carpet floor. Done. Already scheming for number 2. I'll throw up a report when I start to build. Thanks already!</blockquote>
