    Default My old green boat in Sebastian, FL

    Here is a picture of my old green boat that is now in Sebastian, FL.

    I got it from retired Cortland Rep, Joe Patterson.....traded him a pair of Zeiss binoculars for it.

    $10,000 later it is a nice flats skiff/bay boat for small water.

    I raised the transom, new trailer, new 40hp Yamaha 4 stroke, new Minn Kota Auto Pilot and new fish locater.

    We went out the last few days in the AM on some grass flats just north of the Sebastian Inlet.

    We caught sea trout, jacks, lady fish and bluefish to about 10 pounds.

    The fishing here in the spring and fall in the saltwater is slightly better than many places we go to in Central American.

    Funny how they seem like great deals at first and then the cost starts climbing!

    Looks like a fun rig! What kind of hull is it?

    Bill, boat stands for "Break out another thousand".
    Fishing is always good, the catching may not be.

    It is an old fiberglass Silvercraft from Oregon or Washington?
