Back in a Bass Boat
Sold the bass boat, then fished the last three years out of a Jon. Could not take it any more so I pulled the trigger on a 2002 Lowe 180W.

Crankbait ID
It is a Rapala. The color is Shad I think and I don't think they make that crank bait anymore.

Tips for bass fishing.
Crank baits are my go to bait. Every one of them can be fished many different ways. Speed him up, slow him down, Stop and go. Jerk or twitch. The same one in a different size or caller. Try different line size and different rods. Bring him across the top of grass or rip him right down thought the grass. Let your mind run wild with a crank bait and don't be afraid of losing him. Put him where you are sure you are going to loss him or brake him. A new crank bait at the end of the day should look like he as been fished with all year.

Tiller vs. Side Console
In the past you have said all the lake's that you are going to fish are small. Tiller steer would be fine and so would smaller motors then you have been looking at.

Are Force motor really that bad?
I back in the ninety's from 1992 to about 2001 I worked evenings for a boat dealer. There was a lot of Force motors on the lake then. Most of them was what keep the shop working over time. When they where running a 35hp Mercury would run off and leave a 50hp Force even if the Mercury was on a little heaver boat. The lake cop had a Force on their boat and most of the time you never seen him because the Force was being worked on.

Found a Boat but
Found a 18' 2003 Lowe 180W Stinger with a 2002 Evinrude E90FPLSN FICHT on it and local dealer say's that's the motor that broke Evinrude also has 1000 hours on it. But think he was set on sealing me a boat on his lot. Anyone know anything about that motor?
-
2 Stroke hours how much is to much?
Is a 1000 hours on a 2 stroke motor a lot of hours? How far will one go? This one is a 2002 90hp Evinrude on a bass boat that was ran on Table Rock for the most part. I could see one on a big lake having more hours on it. Don't want to by one that is all most done.

Lowe W180 yes or no
A lot that I need to know about the boat yet. I am going to be down there the first of next month on a fishing trip. Then I can see the boat. I know the man that has it. He had it up here last year. I seen it run across the lake, but that was all I seen of it then.
-
Lowe W180 yes or no
The dealer in Kirksville is telling me the boat is a 1,500$ boat. I am having a hard time thinking it is. He has 2 that I am going to look at. 90 is all you can run on Thousand Hills.

My Theory For Beginning Fisherman
Sending a bait into the water with out a target and hoping to catch fish is like shooting a gun or bow with out a deer in your sight and hoping to kill one.
