RE: anyone got a boat...what kind?
Can't beat this!!!
I have a 14" 1966 Alumacraft that leaks like crazy w/ a late 80's 9.9 HP Evinrude on it. It is one of the ugliest rigs you have ever laid eyes on... but it works.
I also have a 12" flat bottom aluminum that I use on the river w/ a little Min Kota trolling motor.
Finally, I have an 11" Kayak that I take on the river too. But, the big pike tend to pull me down the river w/ them when I hook into them.
