There has been days when I would give almost anything to have that boat back. I know its history from day one. A guy down the road from me bought it new without a motor and hung the Johnson in 1984. The boat is a 83 that was leftover on the lot and bought new in 1984. Spring 1997 it was traded for a tractor,to a guy up the road from me. That guy never had it on the water and I bought it in the spring of 1997 and ran it until spring of 2001. I sold it to a school teacher in Albany, KY. I have seen the trailer in the parking lot a few times at Beaver Creek Ramp around 5-6 years ago but have not laid eyes on that boat since it pulled out of my driveway in 2001.
I have pictures of me and my daughter fishing from that boat as a child,she in now in college. That was my first real bass boat and a fine boat it was. There has been many days when I was fishing way up a creek or into a tight spot wished I still had that ride.
I would love to have that ride back as a spare to my current ride(Javelin Renegade 19) but I just am not in the situation to be a two boat family right now. If I had seen this boat a little over a year ago when I had the cash in my hand it would be in my garage right now. I have been unemployed for over a year and will be unemployed for two years until I get my degree. I know this may sound strange but realize that boat was like a family member that I miss dearly.
