My buddy that sold his Fish-n-Ski barge a few years back just bought it back in the almost exact condition.

And for a lot less money than he sold it for.

I'm glad because I spent a lot of time helping him recarpet it just before he sold it.

Fished on the barge sun. I wish my boat had that kind of room. In fact I'm going to build a front deck for it to allow more storage and get more usable space up front.

Rht I'll post before and after pics, you might want one too. Before

During

And after...........

Great story! He should name it "Second Chance."

It sure speaks well of something when you want it back!

I'd love to see pics. My front deck is about 4X8 and I love it!

Thanks for sharing!

would love to see the pics!

Few years ago I was on my way to Atlanta early one morning for a
meeting and stopped for coffee and a biscuit at an exit near Newnan.
It was just breaking day and an older gentleman and young teen
girl drove up and parked. The old truck had seen better days and the
boat was an old 14' barge with years of customizing evident.
Against my nature, I went over and introduced myself to them as they
were eating and he introduced me to his "best fishing granddaughter."
I looked out the window and commented..."sure is a great boat."
Without even looking up he muttered..."it's not for sale so don't even
ask." I said "have a great day" and exited quickly.

DOL confusers won't allow viewing images...

go figure!
Thanks for sharing....can't wait to get home and view.

You been to Anky in past couple of weeks?

More 20" + trout than I can ever remember....during past three
weeks 1 in 4 keepers is 20" or over.....everyone pretty
much in awe but enjoying it none the less!

Last weekend at Anky there were 3 other "barges" akin to mine
that I saw and one of the guys said their were actually 5.
Small world for sure! I wonder the chances of that many boats
made in Arkansas at least 20 years ago and many longer winding up
at Econfina on same day in 2006?
