The "poor" man's boat thread

[DeadEye_Dan]

I'm selling my big lake boat.

Can't afford it





















And and airplane!!

for real? What good is an airplane if you never get to tell people your flying up to the harbor your boats at?

Saying "I sold the boat to get an airplane" sounds better than "I've got my kids this weekend"

Big fishing boats are a tough pill to swallow anyway, especially in MI

[DeadEye_Dan]

I enjoy the boat, but I have lots of friends with boats. The guy buying mine has been fishing with me for a couple years anyway-so being able to fish won't be an issue.

What is an AVERAGE price in MI for an AVERAGE fishing boat Jehler?

[jehler]

There is no average fishing boat in mi TK, we got everything from rivers to float tube in to big water cruisers

A 20 foot v bottom boat will give you the most options around here IMO. It will get you out into the great lakes but not overly huge to fish out of in the bigger rivers and inland lakes. But you really need 2-3 boats to be able to fish all the different types of lakes and rivers.

My boat is a poor man's boat, It's a old bass tracker that I gutted and I'm the 5th owner of the go devil with who knows how many hours on it. I call it the white trash titanic.

This is our 16ft Spearing boat/light duty duck boat. I sandblasted the entire thing and have since put a late 80's 40hp E-rude on it. Its now pained olive drab and that blind is gone, plans for new blind in the works. This boat was dads boat and has seen some time on the water! I cant even imagine how many thousands of pounds of carp/suckers Jgun, Myself and friends have speared from this boat. She fits right in with the "poor" mans boat area.
AsJgun said in the other thread, we have a small boatyard in the parents backyard

What are you gonna do for a blind?

[goodkarmarising]

My current poor man boat is one I bought for $60 off a guy. Been using it as a trailer to haul snow goose deeks around in.

[goodkarmarising]

$280, soup to nuts. So poor I had to build it myself.

you woulda still built it yourself even if you had a mil in the bank, just so you could say you did.

Really, anyone that still has a tube tv is just cheap out of spite.

Can't afford a flat screen tv here. Nothing wrong with my tube tv.

not sure yet, def not that high, it was too much of a sail, and not durable enough, i want to be able to lay it flat for running but have "doors" for sitting in.
