justtrying Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 a guy had this Ugly boat & trailer sitting by the road on the way to town for a couple of months. i finally got in touch w/him (young man, probably late teens, early twenties), he said he wanted $250..i said, no thanks, not interested. he asked me what i would give, i told him $100, he agreed to $125 & he delivered to my house. tires were shot, so, i went to ag south, bought two new ones for $24 plus change, each. got a trailer jack stand from cabelas for $19.99. ..i had this old platform & trolling motor on another jon boat years ago, so, i just cut it down to fit. bought a new battery & "voila" for around 3 bills, i have me a Genuine Pond Boat. took it out today to christen it & Wore Them Out, had a Fantastic day. ... hey, anybody want to go pond fishing?

preach4bass Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I love the seat. ;D Let me give you some advice: Put a $700 depth finder on the front Put a $2500 kicker motor on the back Put a $900 bow mounted trolling motor on it Put a $3000 speaker system under the bench seats Give it a "tricked out" paint job (I think I have that lingo right) Document all of your modifications on video Send the tape to ESPN and pitch them the idea of starting a show based off of "Pimp My Ride" that deals with bass boats. Anyone have an idea what he should call it??? BASS TECH maybe!!! Hey, enjoy the boat. You have a great find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Gatorbassman Posted January 7, 2006 Super User Share Posted January 7, 2006 Man that's awsome. What a deal. That rod is worth more than the boat. It reminds me of my first pond boat. A large piece of stirofoam and a paddle. Man was it fun. Where in SC do you live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
