Terry Posted May 5, 2007 Report Posted May 5, 2007 well I had a little time so I thought I would take the new folding boat out for a test on the river took a little longer to put together then my old one, but that square back is nice found out the transom isn't thick enough for my electric to tighten down so I will be adding a piece of wood and the 2.5 hp motor needs to be raised a bit so it can swing all the way right and left..all easy to fix but it was all together so off I went...the 2.5 pushed her at 10kph..just a flying stopped and did a bit of fishing..didn't catch anything got back to the ramp and it came apart real quick..all and all it was all I was hoping for and I can't wait to get it on the ATV and fish some more back lakes, if I can find any more.............
irishfield Posted May 5, 2007 Report Posted May 5, 2007 Shoot...it floats. Knew I forgot to do something with that holes saw! I warned you you'd need to probably shim the engine up. Funny the electric won't tighten down enough though. Guess while you're putting in that 1 x 1 aluminum angle, that I gave you to reinforce the transom board, you can screw another layer of plywood in the spot for the electric. Glad you're happy with it Terry. Much better use than collecting dust on my hangar floor.
misfish Posted May 5, 2007 Report Posted May 5, 2007 Theres no way you can beat me to the good spots with that thing.LOL Nice new toy.
Terry Posted May 5, 2007 Author Report Posted May 5, 2007 I can if there is no boat ramp on the lake.....lol
lunkerbasshunter Posted May 6, 2007 Report Posted May 6, 2007 nice little boat you got yourself there! cheers!
motv8tr Posted May 6, 2007 Report Posted May 6, 2007 Looks good Terry, glad you're happy with it. I'll be looking forward to your future reports from all those remote lakes. Maureen

( muffled cries for help)Art LOL, never even thought of that Art, would make for a very interesting report wouldn't it??? Maureen
chilli Posted May 6, 2007 Report Posted May 6, 2007 Looks like there's nowhere you can't launch a boat now. That's awesome. Good milage I bet. Looks like a good boat for crappy fishing. I wouldn't stand in it though
irishfield Posted May 6, 2007 Report Posted May 6, 2007 (edited) I wouldn't stand in it though You're going to have to start giving rides to these folks Terry and show them it's better than any 12 or 14' Tinny they have fished out of. Main thing being how quiet it is on the water and you don't have to worry about a dragged foot scaring off your fish...and YES you can stand up in it just fine. It's more stable than a tinny any day. Boat is 12'6 long and just over 4 feet wide...ie wider than a cartopper. Edited May 6, 2007 by irishfield
