    Default well I got a new to me boat.


    Well I got me a nice used 2000 lowe stick steer boat with a 2000 25hp johnson yesterday. I bought it from the original owner. He was 88 yr old and he had it at the boat repair shop getting it serviced and checked out before he sold it. I went up there to spy on the arkansas game and fish they drew down lake overcup to do some work and build fish habit. I was talking to the mec/bait shop owner I said ive being looking for a good stick steer boat. He said I have it right out back. The owner is a older man I have serviced this boat yr. I just got doing replace a water impeller and put a new battery on it. He said I just ran a compression test on it and the motor is in great shape. I said how much he said I bet you can get it for $1500. Well I called him on my way home he said am picking it up tomorrow and I could meet him at his house and test drive it on lake brewer down the rd from his house.

    Well he want $1500 I talked him down to $1300. He was a super nice guy his wife had just passed away. I talked to him for awhile he told me everything about the boat and showed me pic of fish him and his wife caught out of it. I left make a friend. I told him I work weekends and it is hard to find people to fish during the week with me. I said would stop on the way to brewer to see if he wants to get out of the house from time to time. The tm he hit a stump and bent it. so I will be asking alot of question about those awesome Terrova. the bunk board & taillight need to be fixed. Am going to buy a transom saver and tie down strap before I take it anywhere.

    Hey midnight
    Nice boat. You will love the stick steering. You will get to fish so much more and forget about the person in the back.
    See you on the water.

    Thank you billy. My uncle had one when I was 7 and I loved riden and fishing from it. He trade it for a bass boat when I was 9. I stop at his house on the way home I said did I get a good deal. He said yes you did,do you want to make a 100 bucks off of it. work has me working 14 hr days so I havent got to take it out again yet. but I cant wait I loved driving it.

    don't forget to ask the former owner to go with you. he don't have a lot of trips left and i'm sure he would appreciate going with you. and straighten that bunk board underneath the boat too. you'll love the stick steering.

    Love the boat bro. Can't wait till you take me out on it, lol. If you need help working on her, just give me a shout sometime.
    A man is truly blessed, when he returns home from fishing to be greeted by the best catch of his life.

    olduckhunter I wont forget to ask the former owner (walter) to go with me. I know walter would appreciate going with me. well duck before I straighten that bunk board underneath the boat am going to reload it. walter want to load it one last time and it is far from on there straight. When I pulled him up out of the water he said this why am sale it I cant get in and out of it. I did like the fight in him I try to help him down and he wouldnt hear it.
