1982 16' Fisher Marine stick steer with a 15 HP Evinrude. Has a 36lb Motorguide foot controlled trolling motor. Flat bottom, and light so it can go a lot of places other boats can't. But it absolutley sucks in the wind or decent sized waves. I love this boat for smaller lakes, but would prefer a Ranger 20'-21' Fiberglass for all around fishing.

Lizards,
Better mount a deer stand on that alumie boat, get the best of both worlds, hit a body of water with a flipping stick, keep the muzzleloader handy for the occasional thirsty deer |

17' 1988 Alumacraft, 50 rude, 50# Minnkota all terrain on front, front and rear casting decks, mid ship livewell. Garmin fish finder and a sounder on front, sorry forgot the name. Does great on calm days, gets a little wet and rough on the chop. Can go in some pretty skinny water with her though.

I got a call from my dad today and he asked me if I would like an old aluminum boat with a trolling motor. After about 1/2 a second of deliberation I told him I would take it off of his hands. He lost his storage area and he figured I have room for it. Now I know where I will fish with it, but is there anything else that you guys would consider "must have" items for an aluminum boat? If I remember right it is about 12 feet, maybe 10, with a slight V bottom.

2005 Tracker Panfisher 16 with 25 Yammie 4-stroke. Motorguide. Great fishing boat.
Also have a 14-36 with a Briggs & Stratton 5.5 and Motorguide trolling motor and duck blind. Use that for duck hunting and for fishing in small farm ponds. Also have a Lowe 12-36 that's sort of beat up that stays at a club I duck hunt and fish at. Plan on putting a seperate trolling motor mount on it for the spring so can take the trolling motor off the 14-36 and fish out of it. |
