After owning several boats, as others have said it comes down to what you want to do with it. A Whaler is a great boat w/fantastic versatility...but at a price: It's very heavy. That means more gas...

8' ODC Sport from the Creek Company. Great condition w/custom Carlisle Oars and Anchoring system. The oars are not the cheap, small ones you usually find on some pontoons....these are class 5 style...

Sounds like a great time Bill, enjoy.

I went to marine store, bought several pullies and used hose clamps to secure them to run the anchor line under the rear deck an up under the seat. THere, I put a cam cleat w/an eye for the anchor...

I've used Whalers for years. Durable? Absolutely. Heavy? Absolutely. Stable? Better than a v-hull but can't hold a candle to a flat bottom jon. Better ride than a Jon in rough water? I would...

I have a 17' Lowe Roughneck....72" across the rear casting deck. Stable, easy to cast from and light. My etec 50hp was so light, vs a four stroke that I had to move the axel forward on the trailer...

The Pungo is sold.

I do have a Harken Hosting systems for storing a boat in the rafters of a garage, etc. Complete with blocks, and locking cam system. Usually $100, will sell for $45

:D.............

Little used Wilderness Pungo 14. Ideal length that really 'glides' or 'coasts' between strokes....something shorter lengths just will not do. Tracks extremely well and is very stable....easy for...

Tony, after years of four strokes I went to a Evinrude Etec a couple of years ago and LOVE IT. I would never go back to the heavier, gass guzzling four stroke motor. I have a 17' Lowe that jumps...

Jet, I thought you were moving out of state? Now a boat....?? Dang, you can go striper fishing now! Drop me a line sometime....

Cheers...

Ben, been fishing...very cool. Glad to see you out....hope the family is well.

Hey Dennis,
Dave, Betty and I bashed the delta on thursday......great weather and excellent company, fishing was good, not great. Lots of fish to about 5 lbs....but it was fun and great to fish...

Hey Dennis,
We need to meet up on the Delta this month or next for some stripes. I put together a Roughneck Lowe 17 w/an etech 50 last year for the Delta....works great and SIPs Gas at 30 plus...

I have a Wilderness Pungo 14 that I've owned for several years. I got the 14' because it 'glides'....meaning you can stop paddling and it will 'coast' for quite a while. Tracks very well, and I've...

If you have fished the Upper Sac and never stopped in at the Ted Fay Fly Shop, then you haven't really fished the Usac. Joe has been a fixture there for as long as I can remember. His dry sense of...

I have a 1760 Roughneck, that I got from Sutter Marine last year....they were great. I put a etec 50 on it due to weight/gas savings and not wanting to deal with a big a four stroke. Works great on...

I'm sorry Brian...we were so busy and didn't get off the water till well after dark. Then to the store for groceries for the weekend....and after rockin' all night in the wind w/little sleep, we...

This being my second boat, there were a number of things I was looking for as top priority:
-- Decent room to move for two or three people: 18' - 16' , no seats to step over ...maximum open area,...

I fish the Delta regularly...was out on Sunday in my new rig. I have not experienced anyone 'poaching' my water, except on a rare occasion.

What I have an issue w/is the guys, often in their...

I've used a Fishing Buddy for a couple years, but recently saw someone w/a Humminbird Side Imaging fish finder....looked interesting, but can it really allow you to see stripers and fish on either...

There is a significant price different between the Minn Kota ST and SP Riptide Trolling motors. The differences seem similar to the Power Drive Vs the Terra Nova in the non-saltwater versions.
...

I would assume a prop would do better on a flat bottom jon, in so far as turning/steering is concerned, Vs a Jet (in that you have a lot more in the water w/the engine as a skeg).

Just trying to...

Ok, let's agree that there are compromises on all boats....and maybe this is splitting hairs/bows/waves, but does anyone have experience with flat bottom (mod v bow) Jons, Vs Jons w/a V hull carried...
