Well I sold the fleet and am boatless. Now I'm on the hunt for the next forensic crappie extraction vessel. Wish me luck!

Not first time have done this - Procraft was completely reworked in 2010, but this
will be my last boat - Age has and is catching up with me - starting to slow down
at 74 plus.
Look at several types and styles of boat before you purchase - go through the used
run of boats till you come to one that will fit what you want it to do and have the
comfort you want.
I over the years have ridden in probably 100 different kinds before comming up with
what i wanted - both in front - rear - sides - widths working motor size to my needs
length weight - being able to fit it in garage / storage area - alum - fibreglass -
flats - bass etc.
Sometimes the "big name" boys are not the answer to you needs.
Enjoy your hunting trip............keep me posted here or on my e-mail
I hear ya but for this next one I can't be too picky. Completely limited by garage size and I only expect to keep it 4-5 years until we move. On top of that I am beyond unqualified to vet a used boat, so I have to rely on one dealer I have complete trust in. Gonna be a tough wait, but exciting nonetheless!
