boating

I got my motor from Southern ky marine but get my service done at Bowling Green Marine due to the bad service I got from them but Jeff is a great guy to have work on your boat it was the ownership I had the problems with so just look around and see who you like and judge for yourself but remember to get someone who you think has the best service dept. because there is nothing worst than having a boat that is always in the shop, a service dept. that is not sure what is wrong with your boat but like I said above Jeff is a great boatman and he knows his stuff just too bad he works over there.

Bought my first boat from Stokley's Marine in Nicholasville about a year ago....been very happy. I bought aluminum, a Tracker PT175, with a 2-stroke Merc and it does everything I need to do. I'm not really a tournament fisherman and don't have much desire to fly down the lake at 70mph. If I wanted to pleasure boat, I'd buy a runabout or something. This boat will push me and another, loaded, at around 37-38mph...I could stand a little more speed sometimes, but it's all good. For fishing, aluminum works for me and I don't have to worry as much about scratching it or screwing it up. I've had my rig on Dale Hollow in the dead of winter running big rollers across the lake....I've had it on Stoner Creek in 3' of water....and everywhere else in between. Be safe and you're in good shape.

Any mod-v aluminum boat with a nice livewell, some good electronics, and the very best trolling motor and batteries you can afford will take care of you.

I think it has been easier for me to learn and make all the boneheaded mistakes in an aluminum boat that's easy to launch/load and mess with. I'm still learning and getting comfortable, but I love my boat.

In addition to the advice of carrying good insurance, BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE MOTOR. That's where your money is and you'll thank your lucky stars that you have the warranty if the motor has a hiccup.
