My first boat!

[mhall]

Congrats Drew and have fun bro. Got my first boat 36 years ago with my Dad's help and I was 15 years old. I owned a boat before I owned a car and my parents thought I was weird. We kept it floating at our dock on Guist creek lake so no hauling required. We had a camping trailer there for 17 years before new management run us off. I was getting older then and girls, beer, running and well girls had me going in another direction.

It was a Terry bass boat with two of the old Captain type chairs with arm rests. Foot control trolling motor, a 65 Rude on the back, man I thought I was big business, LOL.


Good luck with your new boat and thanks for making me go back in my mind, good times with out a care in the world....

I started as dang near a baby in a 10 foot Jon boat and scuddled that sucker everywhere. Right arm was alot bigger than the left due to all that scuddling, lol. Finally got a Shakespeare tiller trolling motor and was living large.

Would leave at before dark thirty and not come back till dark sometimes and Mom would fuss up a storm as I was basically a child. Sometimes she would send our neighbors out looking for me, Guist is not very big, lol. I would get in trouble because she didn't want that and I wouldn't do it again for awhile but it happened a lot. Dad just grinned at me while she fussed.

If there is a sport better than fishing on this planet I have no idea what it is......
