    Default New (to me) Boat


    Well I never thought Id be gettin another boat when I thought up the name "Progator 135" But I guess technically now I should be called "Cane Cutter 50" Yep I grabbed up that 77 Cane cutter Crappie boat off craigslist in Longview for $100. My dad had an old trailer sittin there doin nobody any good. Went last week and got it...I was shocked at the condition. It was hangin in a boathouse most of its life so theres hardly any sun damage. floor and transom solid as a rock - The seats and carpet - although a bit ugly are almost like new after a good pressure washin. Got a trolling motor and am actively looking for an 50-60HP motor. I posted on the classifieds but nothin yet. But as for the boat...I love it. I have always liked the old crappie boat design better than a fishing deck style like a bass boat. I have some "before" pics...Ill post "after" pics as they come along. A lot of you may be shakin your head...but those that know me know what I can do with an old boat. Gonna be fun.

    Cane Cutters were good boats. Built by Ed Cane in Bastrop, La. I had a bass style myself about 25 years ago; should have kept it. A friend of mine had one like yours with a 70 on it. You'll like this boat.....

    Congratulations on the boat. Like someone said, keep us posted on the progress. Don't let the "project" keep you off of the lake this spring though; there are some crappie out there with your name on them.
    The Lord is good. His mercy and love endures forever.
