I know a lot of people may scoff at a guy posting his little old boat that he just got. But hey this poor boy has been slamming green fish since I was six years old. Just took 29 years to get to this point. Now its time to see if I can hang with the big boys! Ill watch yall fly by but ill be there in a minute. Ha ha

Had that same boat but the '89 model and that thing was a tank. Got it about 9 years ago and just upgraded a few months ago but kept it as a backup because its so reliable. I gave that thing hell and it never skipped a beat. Punched a hole in it on a t-post on Lake o the pines and almost sunk it but got it welded back up and it was good as new. Also used it as a duck boat and drove that thing into some nasty stuff, launching over stumps and everything. Prop was beat to hell but still ran like a charm. Don't have to baby those old rigs like you do the new fancy ones.
Congrats on the new boat! Hope it treats you well!
P.S. Many tournaments were won in that thing fishing against the guys in their jerseys and 80k rigs. They hated it when the two high school kids in their 25 year old rig showed em how to catch fish.

You will be just fine in that. It's not the boat that catches the fish, it's the person with the desire to chase em down. Give em hell

Yea I've caught a lot in the old v hull loan star boats. I no they don't care about the boat. But some are faster and make less noise than others. It better be tough because I manage to break just about anything I put Hans on. Ha
