So I took my ole man out to Fork and caught a couple 2 lb'ers in 10lb cove, in the first hour on the lake. So we headed up to Glade creek only to realize our boat was taking on water.
Couldn't believe our luck, but thank the big man upstairs for getting us back to the truck safely.

Pretty sure its leaking in the bow, where its chipped from a keel roller missing. That or need to gelcoat patch all the scratches from over the years. Its an old v-hull.

Glad U R safe...We were fishing a tourney at Fork a few years back and had a winning limit in the boat.. Turned the corner to head up Caney and started sinking. Game warden pulled us to the Marina but it was too late. The old boat cracked right down the middle where boat had been hitting the runners (where the carpet had worn off). Good news was the Insurance company totaled the boat and he got more for it that he could have if he sold it!
