Location: Cedarburg, Wisconsin | Had one about when they first came out in 1979 and used it for 12 years. Great small water boat. Very stable for casting, ran nice with a 50HP, and could weather some serious water. Had it out in 5-7 footers on Lake Mich once, and survived. Weathered a few 50+ mile an hour blows too. But it is a wet boat, you will be in rain gear sometimes on sunny days in waves and wind. Great tracking for back trolling, great tracking for forward trolling, and you can row them to fish suckers too if you don't mind putting in some serious arm work. They are just a little scary in the bigger waves till you get used to seeing rivers of water running down the carpet from the nose to the bilge or coming over the transom back trolling into the big waves. You learn what they can do and adapt your fishing accordingly. I got rid of mine when I started fishing more on Lake Michigan and less inland stuff. |
