New fuel tank, replaced one bad stringer, added a Garmin Kracken with 36v lithium, rewired it, put hatch for new storage compartment for batteries forward, traxstech rails, new cabin cushions, replaced etched windshield glass

Still needs a bit of gel work for some dings and marks, but its back in and fishing!

Congrats Hutchy.
I’ve seen your fish, glad you got a bigger boat!

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Next step is a kicker motor. Taking BBQ off and adding a mount to it so it can go on the track system.

I will still catch most stuff out of my tinner. Better on gas.

This boat is for bigger water adventures. A whole other world out there

No selfie with it? I am quite disappointed.


I have nothing clever to put here.

We pull boats out when the ice is too thick to break!

Ok, I see the remote for the shock collar around your neck. Where is the collar itself? Wait, I don't even want to know.

Oh you know where it is.

When i set the hook and miss a fish, or miss a wing shot on a duck i zap myself.


Kind of like an anti pavlovian learning kind of thing
