Location: Bloomington, MN		I've added 1 more to my Fugly Floating Flotilla! I got a 1989 12' Porta-Bote. This should compliment my dock rashed Clorox Blue Princecraft and my 50 year old 26' ROTTING Chris Craft. The boat weighs 59 lbs. and folds up to be 12' X 24" X 4". It is much more stable than a 12' Jon boat after you get acustom to the squishey floor, and I won't be taunted on the lakes I will be fishing with it since I will probably be the only one there. I'm tired of fighting the crowds 5 days a week, so when I can get away...I want to get away! Secret Shoepac Muskie strain lake, here I come!

Location: oswego, il		I think if you get the right pitched prop for that motor, she will fly!

Very cool actually, I hope you slime it something terrible.

Looks good but needs a good coat of slime to really break it in.

Cool rig..it has character. You need to add a nautica themed Pashima Afghan or perhaps toss in some crisp Santana Champagne. Fly that thing to the moon...it's possible. Just like Kevin Garnett ANYTHING is possible.

After flippin burgers it's probably alot easier to row than if you were flippin copies at Kinkos...straight flippin copies. I bet you could easily bust 5 knots with the wind whipping at your coat.

Location: Madison, WI		My advice would to have the hull peened by only an authorized dealer, you might be able to gain 2-3 mph alone, GPS speed of course. I wouldnt trust the tachometer, but thats just me.
