Is that a Tacoma or a Tundra? Box might not be quite long enough for a cot unless you’re about 5 feet tall lol

A shot from the stern camera of the F-9 and tow vehicle.

Most trucks don’t have long boxes like that anymore. They are usually 5.5 feet on a full size truck with a crew cab.

Ya - but mine is only an extended cab with the 6.5' box behind it. I can put 8' long lumber or aluminum cross-wise in the bed and close the hatch. Rear 'seat' was removed to turn the back part of the cab into cargo room...'suicide doors'.

It’s a Tacoma and I’m 5’6”. I’ll make It work. 

I’m running a 85 ranger 350v with a 2002 optimax 200hp 6”jack plate 80lb terrova 9” Garmin and livescope up front.  7” sidescan and 4” 2d at the counsel rebuilt transom with extra float pods not the newest boat on the water but solid and no loan payment. Photo was taken before the float pods were installed it’s also got a new clear coat on it to shine it up some I also have a 8’ plastic pontoon and kayak both share a 35lb trolling motor for small ponds

Nice rig…

Big shout out to @BigBiscuit for hooking me up with this Sportspal

Owner before BB painted over the factory red, luckily they didn’t prep well so I think I’ll be able to save most of the factory finish as per BB’s suggestion.

5 minutes with a plastic razor blade

followed by 10 minutes with the pressure washer.. the paint on the bottom is sticking better than I hoped.

 

I have big plans for this girl. The 12 is want I wanted when I lucked into my 14, she’ll be going to my neighbor and his son.

Those are nice canoes!!

I agree… I’ve been researching and I believe the Sportspal is older than me.

The 14 foot Radisson is light, the Sportspal is featherweight. It has a couple of seams that I want to reseal (although they probably don’t leak) and obviously some paint work. The 14 footer has 2 thwarts which I use to lift onto the roof of my Jeep. I’m going to make a seat for the Sportspal that incorporates a grab handle for easier cartopping. My current outrigger setup will swap over but I probably won’t use it much.

It was nice meeting you Jason and we're just glad that someone will be putting that old girl back into service. It just doesn't feel right for them to sit unused year after year. I know you'll get lots more years of service from her. 

I believe I already posted pics of my ‘17 RT178 … THIS followed me home from Mecum in January.  Not a chance is this gonna tow anything … though it’s got PLENTY of motor…

Those Sportspal canoes are wider than most, I find them more stable than than other canoes. Those foam sponsons on the sides add to that stability!!

Ya don’t fish out of it silly, it’s an anchor!

Purchased my first boat this January. Just picked it up from storage, promised to post a photo here when I brought it home. Looking forward to getting out this weekend.

Nice boat…

So I’m pretty late in updating the forums on this but pretty much as soon as I got to TX, I purchased a Hobie Mirage Outback. The store I bought it from in Austin was kind enough to install the anchor trolley you see at a discounted price. They are called No Bad Days Kayak. I can’t recommend them enough. It’s the best customer service I’ve received for any purchase. 
 

Very satisfied with the purchase. The kayak is fast, stable, and maneuverable.

I see them a lot at the lakes I fish and the owners rave about them, enjoy.

 

 

Putting her in the water today. Just picked it up, 2020 bass tracker classic xl, with a 40hp. Downsizing from a z18. I am pleasantly surprised by the amount of crap I can store on this boat.
