Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Ahhhhh- The water equivalent of a "Crotch Rocket"! Boat: Skeeter "ESOX Maniac" Model: 1988 SF150 - 17' 6" Motor: 1989 Johnson 150HP w/power trim. Troller: Johnson 1988 12V/24V - no clue as to the thrust. Sonar: Eagle mounted halfway between front casting deck & steering console- swivel's for dual use. Marine Radio Panasonic component stereo- next upgrade! +50" live well w/divider removed- + dual pumps! This was a tournament bass boat. Rear casting deck is awesome, and center area is sunken so it make releases really nice. Not a big rough water boat but very fishable, i.e. low to water and stable. Truck: Sold my 1978 k-5 Blazer- "Wild Thing" w/6" lift & 33" tires when we moved to Rhode Island in 1999. Now! Whatever I can find to pull the boat with! Have a hard time spending +30k for a truck. But have a couple of good friends who like to fish & don't have a boat. New truck is next year's budget. As for Ranger's "little" Muskie Fishing Machine- I'm surprised he disclosed the HP, the cover says "10HP". It's awesome- a veritable muskie fishin' platform. I've caught 3 of my last 4 Muskies fishing from Ranger's boat (44", 39.5" & 41"), so it really doesn't matter what the boat is- you have to be in the right spot w/ the right lure. Plus, it helps to have a great netman like Ranger. Al Warner http://www.zaltnad.com |

Lowrance x-88 at the counsil and a x-51 at the bow. All track mount downeasters and Cannon downriggers with twin masts for 31" Talonz Planer boards. Power is the new 2004 115 hp Merc Optimax dont need a kicker. 24 different trolling rods most with Okuma 20 and 30 dx reels and some ABUS in the mix. Roller lowrider trailor puts this boat in and out in less than 12" of water. Great big water ride ,dry and very stable.
