Tin boat fly fishing projects?

[richg99]

You've probably heard the old Lefty Kreh suggestion to drop a wet towel over your trolling motor to help with line tangling on the motor.

Got the hull/motor home today from east TN shop. Have to put the floor in, this is an attempt to have an open fly friendly hull. 50/35 jet, twin trolling batteries, twin fuel tanks, deck storage, casting knee brace.

Tanks vented in front deck dry storage and batteries/storage in lockable extended deck.

A few more pics. Tops out at 28 mph and turns on a dime. Thought about cutting out the live well, but it's good storage and a mid seat. Casting brace is bolt on so it can be taken off, trolling motor mount is front left 2nd pic with wiring plug-in and pulled the leads through to the dry storage box.

Hello there from a long time lurker first time poster. This form has been helpful to me in a lot of way so I wanted to show ya’ll my ride. I motor it up, row it down river mostly fly fishing for trout but it has been bloodied by a lot of different kinds of fish. It rows reasonably well considering it’s size and weight. I have had and fished out of quite a few boats and I wouldn’t trade my set up for anything in its class.

Medford, OR craigslist, Koffler 16ft UHMW/jet sled vee , a new listing. Owned two, a drift boat and rocky mtn trout boat. Looks a lot like the yellow boat above. Shipping's not too bad either.
