kickingfrog Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 A few too many rivets for my liking Jim That's funny. Congrats Rob. Not a bad rig, but the tiller model of that boat is much nicer Did Rizzo keep the bowmount? Your gonna have to go shopping asap! S. I'd love a dedicated fishing boat with a tiller, but since 2 boats are out of the question this was the route for me… for now. And he included the bowmount in the deal. nice toy - congrats. Those Bass Pro flyers will start to take on a whole new level of meaning. The list is getting longer every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Congrats to you Rob, that's a great boat! I have basically the same boat except mine's a tiller. I put a 60hp 4 stroke on mine and that thing'll scoot! I have the identical trailer but I can't believe how good yours looks compared to mine. Mine's all pitted from stone chips. Here's what mine looks like...in fact I'm sure you took this picture one morning on Nipissing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Mine's all pitted from stone chips I had the same issue Roy, but every couple of years I would sand down the areas that had the chips and then repaint those spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 I ordered this mud flap from from Cabellas last year and it does a great job of keeping the stones off the boat & trailer. Hooks onto the hitch and is very simple to attach and remove from the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danc Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I have the identical trailer but I can't believe how good yours looks compared to mine. Mine's all pitted from stone chips. First thing I did when I ordered my boat was upgrade to a galvanized trailer. Still like new 12 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 First thing I did when I ordered my boat was upgrade to a galvanized trailer. Still like new 12 years later. Really makes a difference eh? I'll keep that in mind if/when I go new in a few years. Unless rizzo is willing to sand and repaint it for me every couple of years.

Rizzo Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 haha good luck with that. I think the boat was getting lower to the ground...the last time I did it my belly seemed to be a lot closer to the hull as I was lying on my back under the boat.

kickingfrog Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Finally got out in the boat today. Just a quick tour and I was too preoccupied to take more photos. Although I should have had my brother take a few of the boat running but that will have to be for next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
