DRIFTER_016 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Got the mini boat out for it's maiden voyage today and all went well. She's got a minor water leak that I need to find and repair and the motor is going to need a hydrofoil to help get the stern higher in the water, but other than that all went very well. It's perfect for one, but I don't know if it will be big enough to fish two out of. I'll have to try it out and see. The boating was ok but the fishing sucked today. Could have had something to do with the high winds and water temps in the mid to high 30's. I had a couple of pictures of her, but Solopaddlers pike post has blown my photobucket bandwidth it seems. <_< Edited June 14, 2011 by DRIFTER_016
DRIFTER_016 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Posted June 14, 2011 The pics of JR. Great for all those little lakes and for fly ins.
splashhopper Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 sure hope that sucker stays connected to it's mounts
misfish Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 Any name with JR ,gots to be a good one. You need to post a vid Dave.
solopaddler Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 When you come to your senses and realize it's far too small for you I'll happily take it off your hands!
DRIFTER_016 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Posted June 14, 2011 that 4 hp should really move it along Not so far. I need one of them stingray hydrfoil thingies to get it to plane out properly. I kind of thought it would before I even had it out as these inflatables all tend to be difficult to get on plane due to their design. Hopefully that will do the trick. It's comfortable for one to fish out of though. On the capacity plate it is rated for up to a 4HP so I have no worries about it self destructing Hopper San. I do want to try it out on my Fishcat Cougar though. Might have to name her Miss Fishwiser if I do.

That would be sweet to see, but first you need to buy a white jumpsuit and change your name to Super Dave. <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XuSUq6IZqFc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
