Wife and kid constraints demanded the timing...

Went out on jackson today, got on the water around 430 and pulled out at 7. We started over by Rhoden Cove with a plastic worm and a bunch of Rapalas that refused to float, and I'm certain some of them were floaters. We moved around a little bit. Eventually I switched to a jitterbug and we moved a l...

So... I like the Boston Whaler Dauntless/Ventura, but they are impossible to find...

I'll probably put it off for this season and wait till the fall/oil drives supply up and prices down...

One of the callers to 100.7 this morning suggested inserting a cathetar into the pipe and inflating a plug therein, rather than plugging from the outside. Sounded like a good idea to me. [SOAPBOX] Still not sure why this is BP's "fault." Transocean was the contractor on the job. I understa...

I got yanked by FWC when I was 16 on a jetski. Learned my lesson then. Haven't been on the water enough for anything really memorable. I have wasted a lot of time in the stupid human tricks sections of iboats though, learning what not to do...

not as comfy for the family and friends. Not hunting for a fishing boat, hunting for a sporting boat, but something that will not be dashed to pieces in the available waters. is this better, being an OB, but similar hull design? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-Glastron-SX-170-Boat-Evinrude-150-/...

what bronco?

ok, so lets see some suggestions on a family friendly and comfortable outboard that will carry up to 8 in the 18-21' range, not a center console, suitable for wake boarding/tubing and cruising, but won't get smashed on the rocks...

So you gonna have some surplus tackle that needs a new home Bman?

thanks for the replies. I'm really looking at this more as a family sporting boat than a fishing boat, think ski n fish, not fish n ski. I've got a Whaler 13 sport for shallow and dedicated fishing, but its not much in the way of comfort, especially with more than 2 people. I'll look around at a cou...

what the difference in draft on a 19' OB compared to a 19' I/O? I get that 16" is with the outdrive in the trailer position, but it can still operate off idle to put around in the skinny water. What is the draft of either on a plane? I wouldn't be seeking out the shallow water with this. edit: ...

I'm looking to get an 18-21' bowrider and would prefer an I/O. I've read up and understand the benefits of an outboard, but want an I/O for this particular boat. My question is, will I be able to use it in this area? I'm running the lakes, mostly Jackson, but Iamonia also, and out of St. Marks and K...
