Lonebowman,

It' s a 18 ft Charger Bass boat. It' s a 1987, but it' s been parked in my in-laws garage all that time, so it looks about 5 years old...

We took it out to a private lake (trolling only) several times to get used to it and driving with it. It' s part of my neighborhood and the fishing is fantastic, so it' s really not worth driving elsewhere to go fishing. We took it out to a large lake once last year right before it got too cold, and handling the boat was enough. None of us got to fish, but it was ok.

Call me crazy, but I didn' t buy the boat for myself. I bought it so my daughter could fish. If the fish are bitting, my wife loves to fish as well. My son is only two, but he knows how to cast and probably use a dummy hook this summer. I didnt' buy the boat to be by myself. I bought it to spend time with my family outdoors!

It' s fun.. We get up early on Sat/Sun and me and my daughter would go out. When my son wakes up, my wife gets ready and come out if the fish are bitting. It' s only 5 minutes away, so we can do that. I am so glad I bought this house!
