Come on, JM, you know the kids can get student loans to pay for college. That way it will mean more to them in the long run.

looks like what a teen hears when dad sez he can get a canoe





Unless you are wearing a grass skirt and sleeping in a ditch and eating only road kill, you too are part of 'the problem'.

The rivers I would fish with it would be the San Marcos, Colorado, Brazos, Guadalupe, and Brazos. I am thinking more along the lines of one of the smaller ones like this one. My uncle left us a sixteen footer for a while when we lived in Wyoming, during his move from Salt Lake to Texas, and it was great on the rivers and small lakes. This is what I fish from right nowand it was really not designed for Tejas either, but was designed with flyfishing in mind. The drawback of this boat is it's a one seater, and for the price of a larger one I might as well be getting a drift boat thats alot more durable. I am just thinking this might be right up my alley.




It's more than the catfish would do.

My Gheenoe will run in 3.5 inches of water....9.5hp evinrude moves it out at 20+ mph on a plane. Can also paddle it really well with a Kayak paddle. I have done the drift boat thing when I lived in the Northwest....awesome boats. I like my Gheenoe better for the fishing down here.

Here I was trying to fling a craving on Derek and JackMack and I think I ended up flinging it on myself.

Well I didn't know we were supposed to be actively selling.

Why don't you have a seat in my office sales cubicle here. Now, Derek, I know you're in the market for a small, maneuverable, shallow draft boat that can go anywhere and do anything. AmIright? I think you can agree with me that the Gheenoe has what it takes to get you on fish in the beautiful rivers of central Texas. I think you'll also agree that this little beauty will be equally at home in the flats off the coast chasing reds and specs.

Can't you just see yourself out there making those tight, wind-cutting loops? Dropping casts right on the nose of that new state record red? You see your fly line tighten with a sound like a cracking bullwhip as that huge fish streaks across the flats accompanied by the screaming protest of the drag. You're right there, Derek. The Gheenoe put you in the exact location, at the exact time to work your magic and bring that copper colored beauty to hand. You could quickly and mercifully kill this behemoth and claim that new all tackle state record that is so rightfully yours, but you won't. You'll ease him back into the water, pump life giving oxygen across his gills, and when he's ready, release him back to his habitat to get a little bigger and pass his superior genetics on to the next generation. As you blast back across the flats, the purr of that fuel-sipping engine is the soundtrack to the end credits of your perfect day of fishing.

Now who got you out there on the salt, Derek? What little workhorse did the job and just kept asking for more? The Gheenoe did. It took you out there and brought you back in comfort and style. When the day is done, all it will ask for is to go do it again.

Now, Derek, I've got just one more question for you. What can I do to put you in this Gheenoe today?

You sit right there, look at this brochure, and decide what color you want. I'm going to go talk to my manager about getting you a very special deal. He owes me one just like you owe yourself this purpose-built fishing machine.

I'll be right back with the paperwork so you can get out on the water this afternoon and start living like you need to live.




Always

Closing

Derik's name misspelled on purpose in the above example to throw him off guard just enough to get the kill I mean new satisfied customer.

Well, that was my last Gheenoe, but, because I know you like the water, I've got a couple of properties you might be interested in owning.

If you like the salt, there is a very unique estate in Arizona that a well known country singer is looking to get out of in the near future.

If you're more of a river fisherman, there is an interesting property in New York State that includes a bridge over the Hudson River. There are a couple of small title issues at the moment, but I'm sure a new owner could get them figured out in no time.

Last, but not least, I've got several great tracts of coastal swamp land wetlands that would be just great for almost any kind of activity. One very motivated seller was making a very good income doing something he called "square grouper fishing" before his recent unfortunate incarceration by the authorities.

I have several parties interested in these properties, so you'll have to act fast to scoop up these deals.

I also buy timeshares for CASH.
