Ok. now that that is out of the way! You are probably wondering why I am posting a picture of a dink with such a smile on my face. Can anyone guess why this picture and this momentous day has me so fired up? Jeff

Braid...direct tie...and more specifically Daiwa Samurai 40lb(8lb diameter equivalent) Jeff

nice catches! LOL Jeff

Congrats! How long have you had it stocked/maintained it? Jeff

Awesome! Can't wait! Jeff

You are correct! Jeff

In the 3rd picture, I had to end up cutting a larger hole out for my OB. involved taking back the carpet as well, but it laid back down nicely. it now has a mercury 25 efi. Jeff

My front deck came on the boat when I ordered it. The rear deck was just a bench that I cut out aluminum angle and made braces and then took a large sheet of aluminum and cut to fit. welded it all in and then used a stainless "piano type" hinge to make access. here are the pics...

The guy that is teaching me how to tie jigs uses one of those small "easy bake type" ovens. He also uses a fluid bed to dip the jig head in. The pliers he uses hook through the line tie and Im pretty sure that is how he keeps the paint out of there! Jeff

Give it a little time and someone will be sure to help out. I know nothing about those rods, or I would offer my opinon! Jeff

Well the guy I know went Saturday and yesterday. Saturday they vertical drifted liver in the lake for over 100 lbs and yesterday on a short trip less than 3 hours over 50 lbs. Big fish was a little over 20 lbs. Jeff

This boats floor width is 48" which is a stable boat, and the wider you get floor width the more stable it will be! Jeff

The measurements we were posting are floor width which is where the stability is! Jeff

only report I have heard from this past weekend and yesterday are the catfish are biting! LOL Jeff

Yes same boat! I liked the hand operated trolling motor fine, but the problem was alot of times I fish seated(LAZY) and with the hand operated it sits alot higher on the deck. Also after fishing from a buddy's boat with the i-pilot/anchor lock features of the Terrova, there was no way I was ever gonna fish again without one! LOL! PS> crankbait- the front deck on my boat is 5 foot long and over 4.5 foot wide, and the rear deck is 4 foot long and and the same width! The best thing about aluminum boats is the world is your imagination! Everything is aluminum built(no wood to rot). Jeff

I'm pretty sure he is "part owner/investor" because they allowed him to be(free), to be able to use his name as advertisement! I'm skeptical, but it could be the hottest thing ever! Jeff

You need to talk to someone else, because this is truly an opinion and NOT FACT!!! But I am sure Pinnacle will answer your other questions! Jeff

I voted v bottom because they ride better. The flat bottom will be a little more stable up front when standing on the bow deck, but the v is much better ride and I think as long as you get a wide enough boat (48" minimum) there isnt that much of a difference! There are plenty of v bottoms with casting decks up front. You just havent found the right one yet. Also check out tinboats.net a plethora of knowledge there! Jeff pre terrova, depth finder and motor!

You can use any color jig you want in any color water as long as its Black and Blue!! :D Jeff

Oh man. Can't wait. Im gonna make this one!!!! Jeff

Nice trip! All on that new combo? Jeff

I've seen the room....quite impressive! Sometimes he takes all of his rods on small trips too.....ok maybe not all of them but about 13 to be exact! But it is very organized and didnt even get in our way in my 16 foot boat with my 8 combos! LOL Jeff

Personally the only time I turn mine off is when I lift my tolling motor up. Other than that it is always on. Also, many vertical jig fisherman fish with theirs on to see their jig depth on the screen so I would say that you heard wrong. Jeff

Country.....with a little country mixed in Jeff

There are actually about 6 bass in his last post. Look again. Jeff
