I've tried that. Don't work. I dunked her butt running limb lines back in spring when I goosed reverse to keep us out of a wasp nest while she was leaning over to grab a line.Swimming back to the hill will curb her enthusiasm……
I can’t give a like because that hat…..
The guy I used to crab with all the time had a teacher classic I believe. Great boat but I wouldn't spend 17k on one personally. Why not buy used?So I gots a question...
Anybody own a Bass Tracker Classic XL or one of the older Classic or Heritage boats? Basic little 16'8" hulls with a little 50hp on the back? Looks like they're way more expensive than they were when I first started noticing them (17k vs 9k several years ago), but they're still pretty cheap and look ok to me. Small enough I could probably tow one with the Forester, and Bass Pro is the closest dealer/service center to me.

Like @boyne bowhunter, mentioned, 17k is pretty cheap today in the boat world. I wouldn't be against a newer used one, but one new enough to suit me wouldn't change the price once and new is usually better to finance, which I'd be doing.The guy I used to crab with all the time had a teacher classic I believe.

I've bought beaters and have strong feelings on fixing them. I don't like projects, I like to catch fish. Buying my jon boat and all its stuff new worked for me. Just bought a 1 man boat instead of 2 before I knew she was a fishing fiend
I live on the river and the wife and I both fish. Pretty simple lives. $300 a month or so, $75 a week to have a nice new boat with no issues that we could use at least once a week year round ain't bad. Can't hardly buy dinner for two for that.
Whoops! All mods look alike I guess...I agree with everything you said except you added about 15 years to my age when you called me @boyne bowhunter
Dang good name for a boatAdding some offshore Big Game fishing to this thread, one of the most special trips I have had in a while.
