    Prayer Request Boatless


    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!
