Re: One we all need.

Don't know Kelly could be to darn expensive to operat. looks like a commercial sport operator and fewer people can afford guided trips. Esp. with the added price a outfitter has rto charge for the gas required. It is a Beauty tho. I would use it on Pend Oreille Lake You could almost camp out inside out of the weather. Oh well to old to get excited about those things any more. Got two boats sure wouldent get rid of either.

It is a good lookin boat, but at that price I'd be afraid to take it out. Fuel is only part of it. Not much good for fishin. You'd need something at least as big as Pend Oreille to run it. Could be commercial operator, or could be simply a party boat. Would have been fun 40 yrs ago, single, 36 cent/gal gas, and not the other responsibilities.

Good boat to run the big rivers in, would be awsome in Hells Canyon. I have made that trip a couple of times and it was way cool, had a blast. The first time I went was when I went to state fire school in Lewistone and all of us firefighters went for a weekend trip and man what a good time. It could also be used here on the Columbia as well, just not very good on gas I am sure.

I know mine is no beauty either but I think it's slightly more pleasing to the eye than this thing; but of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

You would need to remove the three hundred rod holders and railings then its a much beter, looking boat. As well as can be built, they know there stuff at the Weldcraft / Duckworth plant in Lewiston Idaho and Clarkston Wash.
