Re: New boat and motor
redog...your boat should be fine if was cared for properly. Here's some advice, take it or leave it...your choice...take a USCG boating safety course, there are several in your area coming up this spring. After that I would learn as much about your boat as you can. <br /> You can put in a Steck park and take some short trips down the river, keeping an eye on the gas usage, cause you will use a lot of fuel in that boat(you'll be lucky if you get 2mpg). You'll find that later in the year when the moss gets bad on Brownlee that the jet pump is a pain as it gets plugged up easily. <br />You can duck hunt with that boat just fine...I put in at Adrian, but mostly we take a smaller boat that is easier to hide.<br />I know the Snake River very well where you live...and if you play safe, you will catch many fine fish and have many good days of boating...just my Thoughts
