i'll get up pics once i wash it. it's a little older, but is water tight and runs solid. took it out yesterday and caught fish. gonna take my son out and teach him how to find the "big ones". since all i catch is little ones. :)


hit the dock at 5am. it was too dark to launch. hung out for 30 mins before i finally said "screw it" and launched anyways. it was still dark and hella foggy. i idled over to the bridge to make a few cast as the sun came up. i caught the largemouth on my 4th cast. 5 mins later i caught the smallmouth. ended up catching 9 for the morning. :hump:

Decent fish. Last two pics of a river otter? I used to be an avid bass fisher. A few others I used to love going for ( when I lived in the north) were trout (all species) northern pike (minimum keep length of 26 inches) and land lockEd salmon.

The greatest boat I ever owned was a RANGER. Forgot the plug once and it was full of water and never sank. Tackle boxes floating around it was funny as hell now. Good luck sir you got a great boat.

Congratulations! Ranger is all I have owned since 88. I am on my third one now. They have incredible customer service.

and small mouths?!!!!!!!! my favorite fish by far. We have them in my home lake up to 9 pounds!!!! This time of year I fish mostly at night but you can imagine a huge smallie in the dark!
Enjoy my friend:peace:

they were nice fish, but i still have yet to find the "lunkers". i think i'm on my way though, with the new rods i bought and now this boat.

yeah, i see a lot of otters up there. they don't seem to bother much and are always fun to watch. :)

just spent 4 hours going over everything. amazing what you can do with a can of spray glue and a screwdriver. :cool:

gave her a good scrubbing and cleaned out half the storage bins. got the trolling motor wired in properly and the front live well is clean and working. :hump:
