Do you think you have to open up the front sliding door to be able to drive? I'm wondering what the "helm" looks like in there.

Truman is a great lake. It's one of the few lakes in Missouri that hasn't turned into a rat race of who can have the biggest/fastest boat. You can water ski right down the main channel on a Saturday and barely hit a wake.

Stocton was like that, probably still is. I lived close to there about 10 years ago. LO was horrible in the 80s when i moved to MO and i quit going there about 96.

not to hijack but my lake is like that. There is not much difference between the weekend and the week. Not much traffic and lots of lake. My avatar is my front lawn at the lake. Feels like we won the lottery sometimes.

For all those folks that want a Bass fishing boat AND a Skiing boat, here is one that is for sell that morphs from one to the other. Amazing, I didn't even think that technology was available yet. I was wrong...look see!

Picture one, two and third are a fish and sky boat, picture four, not so sure. And even the engine changes too. But it all can be yours for $2500. That IS a bargain.

Good eye! And I thought I was so smart noticing the trailer also changes in pic #4, lol.

That's the latest in fishing rod technology. It is used for vertical jigging and won't bend or break easily either. ound:

Can't tell if you're serious; the boat is a motorsailer, that's the mast and boom. Looks like a serious money pit to me.

I thought that ^^^, even though the seller claims its a double diesel:

Propulsion - diesel engine: Double

I didn't see the 2nd diesel, so figured I was missing something................ 1 is the mast, the other is the boom? Where's the mount? Under all that cribbing a midships?

I was serious as I can't imagine trying to raise it to the upright position. Looks like they are made of steel.

You won't step that mast without some mechanical help. I think I can see the step in one of the pictures just forward of the pilot house. She's gotta' be a beast to sail ...
