    If it all works out Tuesday this is my new hunting boat. I will have some chairs installed so I can sit up and see over the banks;)

    You know those are kinda heavy right? Unless you can back right up to the water, it might be kind of heavy to manage with only one guy.

    I've got a bud with one of those. They are well over 100lbs without motor, etc. Quite a bit heavier than a jon boat or canoe........

    Also I have a huge roll of non skid tape. Its 2' wide. I could cut off about 10' and send it your way if you need it.

    Are you talking about the boat or sheep?:D

    Once you get her sea (or river) worthy and get a deer you need to take some pics with the deer in transport on her.

    100 lbs? Shoot, Germ could lift that up with one arm while carrying out a 200 pound buck in the other arm!

    Germ, I hear these things spontaneously burn all the time.

    Bring a water bottle.


    Best luck. Jim
