chiefcat Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) Hello everyone! I've followed this board for some time now and am very impresssed with the variety of fishing and comraderie. I have fished for over 40 years- no species preference, hard water or soft- doesn't matter. Last outing was a week ago on Simcoe- 12 whities and 1 laker between three of us... my son (13) got into 3 whities himself! As far as soft watergoes- have never owned a "fishing boat", just a good ol' 12-14 foot aluminum. I made the jump to a bigger boat - 17 foot Tracker Super Pro 1991, 40 HP Johnson, fishfinder, trailer, 2 downriggers, 2-way radio for $4500. Stored every winter in a garage. What do you think? ANY THOUGHTS ON WHAT SIZE BOW MOUNT TROLLING MOTOR? Edited February 9, 2009 by wig
Terry Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 welcome aboard sounds like a good deal to me
limeyangler Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 welcome to the board...what a deal!
jediangler Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Welcome to the bored . Show us some pics of your boat, we love pics you know.
Sinker Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Not a bad deal at all. You might find the boat a little underpowered, but still a decent price for all the gear included. Sinker
Fishing 24/7 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 WOW youv been fishing for long man! thats what i call a great outting . and the boat just simply AWESOME!
chiefcat Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Posted February 8, 2009 Thanks guys! The boat is in storage ... first pics will have to be with me in it with some fish! Already thinking about first outing- Simcoe perchin or Rice slabbin' before walleye opener. Can't wait. Until next hard water activity... take care and tight lines.
diggyj Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Think you waited far to long to join the board. Anyways, welcome. Great boat you have there. Dirk..
misfish Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 I want to see pics? Of the fish. Welcome
lunkerbasshunter Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 welcome to the board! sounds like a great deal you got on that boat package! cheers!
Bly Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 I have no idea about boat values but sounds like a nice one! Welcome to the board, looking forward to seeing your pictures and reports!
Radnine Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 It sounds like it could be a little under-powered, but on a positive note you will not need to buy a drift sock. Welcome aboard! Jim
snag Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 As mentioned, I think we need pics Welcome!
