I know with me I dont run it as hard as I did before. After pumping in $86.75 worth of gas, I dont feel the need to run 68 anymore!

I am reading Roland Martin's 101 Bass-Catching Secrets. It is a pretty good book. A lot of information.

I have used both boats. There are things I like about both. I use a fiberglass boat now, but I dont have anything against aluminum. Years ago my dad and my uncle bought a couple of canoe's. This was in 1972. My dad bought an aluminum and my uncle bought a fiberglass. This many years later my uncles boat has been gone for years, the sun ate it up. My dads aluminum canoe looks today like it did in 1972!

1993 Gambler Intimidator 19' w/150 Mariner Magnum III.

I will start by saying to the guy above about the boat with the 25 hp on it. I have probably caught more fish out of jon boats than out of any boat I have ever owned. There is nothing wrong with any type of fishing boat. I have been in $40,000 boats and not caught a thing!!! A quick story for you... About 7 years ago I fished in a local bass tournament where there were 46 boats. I was fishing with a friend that had his Ranger. Just about all the boats there were large bass boats. We all lined up for a shot gun start and the boat next to us was an old 15 foot Cobia. The windshield was missing and there was a bass seat mounted on the front bow. The motor was a 1960's Evinrude 40 hp. We all took off and of course this poor guy was so slow he just waited for everyone to leave. At three in the afternoon we had our weigh-in. This guy and his friend pulled up and pulled the fish out of a large cooler. They not only won the whole tournament but they also won big bass. I'm sure he had won more money than what his boat cost. The bass don't care what you cast out of. For the boat question, I have a Gambler Intimidator and would buy another one.
