Or keep it for short vacations?


We would sell it and probably for the same or more money than we can buy it for. Couldn't keep it, I have too many young friends that would want to "go somewhere" and just end up drinking beer and getting fucked up. And I couldn't return to the life I have now and afford the dock and other costs to own a hole in the water that you pour money into.

Three geese, I seem to have high jacked your thread, I'm sorry. Have you gotten a fishing boat yet?

Nope not yet. Everything that I'm looking at has already been sold. Going to give it another shot this weekend and hopefully pick up a bumper pull camper as well.

Finally picked one up! 16' Alumacraft lunker tiller. Will be going to pick it up and finalize the purchase tomorrow afternoon, then head to the lake for a test run.

I still remember catching those shitty goldeneyes all the time there. We would fill the livewell then run to the shore and dump them.

You're buying it without a test drive?

I wouldn't hesitate to take it to a boat shop and have them do a compression check too.

Sunday, June 8th, 2014

Water rescue was called when a believed to be escapee from the local intellectually challenged day center tried to run his boat to the end of the fishing dock on Devils Lake. Early reports indicate the small craft capsized due to the waves generated by the obnoxiously constant wind that bows across the state of North Dakota. Identification was made possible by the W.F.F. sticker which was placed on the craft prior to launch. When questioned why the individual tried to kill himself, his mustered up enough strength and composite thru his chattering teeth to say "T-t-t-t-those s-s-s-sonsabitches online s--s-said i-i-it'd be fine".

Conservation officers on scene said the boat would be recovered some time mid October when there is enough ice to hold the crane as any open water recovery would be futile.

Just like your women! In all honesty, I know I'm not gonna be able to take this boat out in rough waters. But for the days when the wind is right we will be on the big water. For days that it's a little breezy, there are plenty of smaller lakes for us to go on.

I actually prefer Darling over Devils for pike
