Catamaran, no jarring of the back bone. You have to ride in one to believe the soft ride. the twin hulls split the waves. 3 ft waves are like one footers in a V Hull. once you had a cat you never go back

hey Spare Time, I see you live in det. to bad you are so far away or I would take you just so you would stop whineing and begging.
Now being serious, I fish out of bowles mostly, I don't know the LSC at all but one day like to go there.
Maybe we can hook up and I will take you ( If you promise to stop whineing ) any way I am retired and can go any time.
Send me a e mail and but no promises we can set some thing up.

I've got myself a 14' aluminum beauty, just painted last year. 15 hp on the back with a trolling motor and fish finder. Good for the inland lakes and hanging around the shore on LSC. I hope to upgrade sometime in the future, but untill then if someone needs company or a first mate on a bigger boat on LSC or anywhere for that matter let me know. :D

I voted Aluminum Rowboat but I'm not exactly sure you could call it that. It only weighs 110lbs and looks alot more like a canoe than a boat. I was looking for a canoe or something that could be transported easily. Either on a vehicle roof or on a pop-up later. A neighbor decided he wanted to let his Grumman Aluminum sport boat (15' 4") go for a price I couldn't pass up. He even threw in 2 brand new oars (8 footers. A bit long). Its a flat bottom so I won't be able to put it on anything other than inland lakes. If the pop-up camper doesn't happen soon, I'd like to upgrade to a 16 foot V-bottom similar to what kbkrause or Kroppe have so I can go out on Erie.
I don't have an actual pic yet. I just bought it last fall and its been in storage. The photo below is from the Grumman website.

SFW,
Nice boat. Just curious if you purchased new through Newaygo Marine and if you did your experience with their customer service. I've got a 19' fiberglass Starcraft with a 350 Chevy. The only thing I troll for is single blondes, brunettes and redheads. It does send out Sonar shock waves via the thru hull exhaust. :D

Is the ice all gone off'n Hess yet??
Nope , Newaygo Marine nor American Anchor earned my bidnizz...
I bought the boat from Jim Rigby @ Lakeside Marine in Muskegon , right across from the paper mill on lakeshore dr.

http://www.lakesidemarineinc.com/

The locals here either didn't want to give me a whoop@$$ price , or they didn't figure my little sale was worth fartin' with , Jim treated us like King & Queen , so we gave them the nod.
GREAT people there at Lakeside !!!!
Highly recommended ANYTIME , ANYPLACE!!!!!

Robert,
Hess is free and clear. Not sure if the launch docks are in yet.
Try the south east side in front of the channel and in it for crappie and gils. Thanks for the info on Lakeside. I need to order some parts from Starcraft and I think I'll order through them. I traded in a boat at Newaygo Marine because it was in there for repair and I decided not to fix and get new. They gave me a fair deal on the boat and trade in but I had terrible customer service. I would not recommend Newaygo Marine for repair or sales. I have never used Anchor Marine but know a few people that have and there's been a mixed bag of satisfaction.

Right now I have the title to a Tracker Targa 18 WT/115 Merc and all the big water toys. Last fall I took it into a local boat dealer and agreed to swap it for a 24 Fischer Pontoon (keeping my moter/and troller). Thus far he hasn't sold my boat. I'm giving the deal until May 1st - at which point the pontoon or Tracker will be committed to for the summer...I really don't care which, long as I have a boat!

I am quite familiar with bass boats, but what features define a walleye boat? Would eyebuster's boat (pic on first page) be an example of a walleye boat?

Rat City Hooker
04-06-2003, 11:15 PM
The lund pro-v is a good choice. My boat is on the same version but smaller and works very well.You have to match boat, trolling motor, fishfinder etc.. to the water you want to fishand also how many are going to fish in the boat.I have a 24v motorguide on the rear for tough current and a 12v with power turn on the front for slow current and inland lakes.

eyebuster
04-07-2003, 07:03 AM

Shore fisherman here. There are some lakes in my area that I am itching to go fishing with a boat on. If I ever buy a boat, it has to be able to go shallow on the Grand River and handle island lakes while being very sturdy. I am guessing an aluminum bass boat with something to protect the prop for when I am fishing the Grand River.

Well after reading all of the posts, I believe that I have the oldest rig on LSC...A '64 crestliner runabout with a 50 merc and a 7hp kicker... The "Retro 69" was bought for a whopping 250 bucks last year. Of course after paint, tires, new wiring, rebuilding the engine, and the electronics, Its up to about 2k in it!!! My ex complained about so much about the boat that I had to get rid of her. ( The girl, not the boat, never the boat!!) Now the new gf loves the water, loves to fish and has a 26' nova of her own and a pontoon boat to boot. Plus 3 wells on the clinton river!! Might have to keep this one.;) Oh, Ive got a yak and a michicraft canoe too for those river rat days! So much water, so little time!!!!

You're going to love the 320. Sweet unit, I have one and can't speak highly enough about it. Resolution is excellent, and the way the software and menus work is very fluid.

Yeah , Kroppe - even though the SeaFinder320DF has more power output than the FishMark320 , they are both excellent machines !!!!!
:D Robert:D

Swamp Monster
04-17-2003, 08:28 AM
I agree on the Eagle 320. Just helped a friend install that unit on his boat. Works excellent....hands down the best value on the market today. Doesn't really have the power for really deep water but for general use it would be tough to beat. It was nice to be able to pick out the fine detail on brush piles and the like.

sfw1960
04-17-2003, 07:38 PM
Sometime ago - I told Kroppe what a great value the FishMark320 was & he lives near Cabela's , B.J. BOUGHT the SeaFinder320DF (Dual Frequency) , which I didn't know hardly a thing about.....He Mentioned the FACT that in addition to included speed & temp. , it had a deeper depth range - which interested me AND prompted me to email Lowrance/Eagle about it's power output.
They informed me that the printed and downloadable manuals had already "gone to press" the power output was 4000 watts rather than 1500 like the manual says. That was enough to purchase one for myself!
Anybody that wants great screen resolution & deepwater performance should consider the SeaFinder320DF! (And a SCREAMIN' price - -$239.99!!!)
Here is the original text from Eagle Customer Service:

Thank you for your inquiry. The output power of the Eagle SeaFinder 320 DF was changed upward after the literature had already been printed. The actual output power is 4000 watts peak to peak. In 50 kHz frequency depth ranges well in excess of 1000 feet are possible with this model. Thank you again.

Kroppe,

thanks for re-assuring my choice. Picked up the the 320 from BPS yesterday with speed sensor( had to pay extra for the sensors since it doesnot come with it). They keep selling out of it. You have to call them every couple of days to see if they have it in. If they do, you can ask them to hold it for you for 48 hrs. Can't wait to put it on.

To others interested in this unit, Gander Mountain is also selling it for 189.99, the speed sensor is 49.99. Bps matches their price.


:D

Lookin good whale. How do you like that boat so far? I was able to got a new fishfinder and some new seats for the 14'er and cant wait to install it all. Its up north right now in storage but I should have it in the next few weeks. Do you think that paint may powerwash off? I was thinking of either repainting it it a grey color, or just leaving bare aluminum, the green just doesnt do it for me.

Well, it's official. Sweet Girl, my new-to-me Lund 1700 Pro Sport with 90hp Honda 4 stroke is now in my garage. It will ply the waters of the Detroit River, LSC, Erie and maybe nearshore Huron/Michigan.

No fish is safe now.

Craig, I know what you're saying about the "green" color. I don't think power washing is going to rid the paint though, it will be a great first step in prep for a color change however ! A bit of fine sanding and a coat or two of a nice gray shade and you will be in business. Hope you have many years of pleasure slaying the fish in the boat.
