Nice rig.  You can do a lot in a tin skiff.  Easy to launch and you can filler up to the gunnels with crabs!   :tup:

same boat as a smoker craft alaskan.  i've owned 2 of them, they're excellent boats.  very low cost of ownership, seaworthy and lightweight.
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun

I started to change a few things on the boat to make it user friendly for me. Seat placement, anchor caddie and more rod holder mounts. Just the basic stuff. Then Murphy's law strikes. Went to run the motor and some how I broke the throttle cable wheel. Have to wait 10 days for the new part to arrive. It's gonna be a long couple weeks before I can play. But on the bright side she'll be fish ready  :IBCOOL:  ;)

Man, that's a bummer.  You better get that thing running, so you can start stacking up the fish.  Looks fish ready to me! :tup:
