Wowzers! Great job. That's one sweet lookin' fish catching machine right there. Bet that 60 will make that thing skip across the water! Wear your lifejacket always!
Keep looking forward. Thatโs why windshields are larger than rear view mirrors.

Very good job. I started fishing with my dad out of a 14 Terry Bass with a 20 HP Johnson with stick steering.

With that shop, I think I'd spend more time working on things than actually getting to use them!! Looks great.

I need two seats like the old ones you had on the boat before you restored it. Do you remember where you bought them?

Nice work Tubby, you are an inspiration! I too have a 21' fire breather bass boat and picked up a 1977 16' Bass Tracker a while back. I'm doing a refit on it now and just installed a stick steer. The 40 Merc runs ok, but I'm going to repower it as a reliability concern.
This thing will run 35 now and like you, it feels like you're 7' in the air! The hull is rated for 55hp so I'm going to hang a 50 Yamaha on it.
It sure is a fun boat to fish out of. And if I run into a log or a rock, eh, no worries!
Cheers,
George
