Ok I was looking for a stand up seat, none of you guys had one. I found a great deal from www.grizzlyjig.com. I purchased all swivl-eze base, posts and seat mounts. I got a 16" post, a adj. 24-31" post, two seat mounts, a 4x8 base, and a wise by cycle seat for 106 & shipping. Final product!   Beginning!   Tear down!  Leveling!    Frame!    And in the process I got my boating license!  It's a little heavy but I most time only fish two people. Boat is rated for three maybe four. Should be good to go. Now find the money to get it on the water! Shouldn't have spent that much on a seat but o well. Should be money well spent for me. Total cost of all is around 200-215$  REDNECKED |

One things for sure. I got me a place to lay down on the slow bite nights!! "or either to drunk to fish"  Now I'm looking at rod holders! I have three down-east clamp on. Looking at the fish bite like the drift masters on e-bay. Anybody tried them? P.s. I don't drink so you don't have to worry to much about that. Was just referring to being a redneck!!! Thanks mytoys! |

Looks like you got a fun little boat to fish out of, I started with a 13' Sportcraft and used it with a trolling motor for a while, then got a 12HP Scott Atwater and used it until the waterpump went out, Son-in-law put a 5hp briggs on it, not enough power, getting ready to put a 12 hp on it. Going to use it on the upper end of the lake this fall so I won't have to run the lake to fish.

You won't find me in the crowds in the summer but come fall I'll be ready! I started with the trolling motor that come with the boat, then got a 5hp and fished it last fall and this spring! Now with the 25hp ill be able to fish gills up to the top on black water! May even try the R side one day! It's rated 28hp 800 and some lbs so should be good with the wardens! Where I haul from lake to lake and not just fish one, it's a lot better on gas than pulling the big boats!
Not much room for bait tank! I have two five gal buckets I use as bait tank! One with holes drilled all over i tie off while trolling and a solid one to hold the bait when I pick up and move areas! 10-12 baits go fish an hour or so then go and get bait again! A lot of work but I catch a few!
When I fish by myself I have a bait tank I made out of a 45 gal brute trash can! I cut the can in half and added a aerator pump to it so I can get the circle flow! May equal 20 gal tank! Just have to keep the water changed! 20-25 baits do pretty good! 30-35 ales! I was in much need of the bilge pump where you throw the net and change water out! Fills the boat with water pretty quick!
I really enjoy it!
With a family now I may have to start pulling the bayliner out more to take the baby girls some! But honestly I can make 5-6 trips to sml on the same amount of $ as I can one trip on the bayliner with the lil boat!

We will leave her crazy ol momma at the house!  Btw afloat I still have your card, and may hear from me when I decide to try the R side! Make sure to have them lucky M&M's handy! I'm ready for another 34"ER! |

Don't know about the candy, but give a little warning and I'll stock up on bait at least.

Nice setup looks like you have going! It gets me where I need to go! What gets me is MWard hasn't jumped all over that wolf pack sticker that's on the motor! And that will be another project! Removal! |

Didn't notice it when looking at the pic on my phone - but see it now.... that's a classic Wolfpack sticker there. Definitely don't take that off. Looking at the pic did make me think of this  |

Looking good Gotcha, now you just need to get some Catfish slime on it. I don't care what kind of sliming it gets as long as it finds some from somewhere! It will be getting slimed right much as soon as the weather cools enough for me to keep some baits alive! |
