C7, i think the few extra feet help a lot, This small lake fishing is a different fishing style, Its gonna take me a couple of trips to get it figured out

Real similar to my boat, I got a 16 ft. Alumacraft Flat Bottom during December.....I need to finish my deck and the small work i gotta do on it. Might use yours as an idea, did you say you made the deck out of aluminum? I might do that, I have before and it worked extremely well.

I'm sure mbhutton..and I see the word Tracker on your boat..I beleive that's a real solid boat...is your boat heavy? My 10 weighs a ton..I love the fact I can fish anywhere ..it's nice getting away from the pressure..I'm usually the only one at my spots..I carry 2 trolling motor batteris with me ..My boat new cost 800 now..only the boat..My wife got in from the newspaper for 100.00 a long time ago used..It's a PolarKraft..yours is very nice.,,I like it alot.
