    I'll give the lower unit 2 months and inside of 6 it should have at least two stump holes punched in it over there. Within a year, it will be abandoned as structure after an epic battle with a the last stump he can put up with getting hung on.

    A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

    To tell the truth if I ever get to where I can travel to Grenada more often I will buy one just for trolling over there.

    I've dine told him that ain't gonna be no stump field boat. We done been down that road one time and my nerves can't take it. It ain't the fact I'm werried bout pokin a hole in it. It's got more to do with the aggravation factor of gettin hung up all the time.
    Theys one thing about it, if I get mad at him all I gotta do is go to the back of the boat and no better than I can hear, I won't hafta listen to him nor will I be able to hear him. That thing is a heavy boat. We may have trouble at steep ramps gettin it out of the lake in his truck.
