Well, i finally figured out what my old name was............x(


I dont really understand it, but my dad LOVES to fish, and we used to have a boat for the chesapeak bay. Nowadays he is very weary on making any sort of investment, even though we are 100% fine finacially.


I will try to talk to him.

******Has anyone used the basstracker 170 package in basspro??******

I think he will flinch at the price, but it is a fine looking boat!!!

One thing, as I stated in the above post, is I need to be able to lug it around with an electric motor too, because you arent allowed to run gas in the resivoir.

I would use the front trolling motor, along with a high powered one for the back

ANOTHER problem that presents itself is that we really dont have anything that we can toe it with, other than my mom's SUV, and she wont be too happpy about that. i do have a windstar minivan, it says it can tow a little over 1800# but i doubt its true.


i'm kinda thinking out loud, but dont really know what boat to look for.

Customizing a john boat is another option, but i dont know how much $$$ that will eat out of my pocket


THANKS for any help

GOD BLESS
