New to me Boat :)

[pbw]

Okay

During lunch today I got the trailer title changed over and licensed. I'm legal. The boat is another story. It seems Ky doesn't like the way Indiana (where the boat is currently registered) does boat titles! I contacted the seller and sent him a form he has to fill out and have notarized! I hate paperwork...

I recall a friend of mine having a similar problem when he bought a 2-man boat from a fellow in Indiana. I think he had to do the same thing you're doing.

Dave, did you make that chain anchor? That thing is a monstrosity! It sounds like a good idea though. A lot of times when I do canoe float trips on the Upper Delaware we end up passing by a lot of spots because the current is too strong/fast.

No - you can buy them like that.

The guy I fished with would wrap the chains with duct tape to prevent the links from becoming wedged in the rocks.

Also, you can wear that around your neck to impress the ladies

It would also make a nice nose ring.

Okay Today I tore out the front decking and boy did I find some junk!

The good news I found $60 dollars! The bad huh well lets go to the pics!

Below is the front deck removed, thing must weigh 60-70 pounds. The trolling motor was attached to this, this entire piece was attached to the front seat of the boat using two dry wall screws! :shock:

This decking was in the middle of the boat attached to the boat using four bolts threw the boats middle seat. If you look closely at the second photo below you will see a dining room table leaf.
