Q: How many community organizers does it take to screw in a light
bulb? -
A: Nine. One to screw in the light bulb and eight to organize the
busloads of protestors to the nuclear plant that powers it.
lol!
LOL! I thought that was kind of cute.
BTW, But buddy just bought a 26 foot Harris at a bank repo. Man did he
get a good deal, too bad the 70 horse Johnson is ruined because
somebody ran some E-85 in it, but we're thinking of mounting that 115
hp Evinrude on it. The one with the barely used power head that I got
last year for a hundred bucks.
Schweeeeet!
Go for it. Sounds like a good deal. A 115 on a 26 footer doesn't seem like
overkill to me! Is this a pontoon boat or a real boat?
It's a pretty nice pontooon John that needs a bit of cleaning and some
general work work..
some people got it, abused it, blew it up then let the bank have it
back.
I'll tell you what, if I lived on a nice, quiet lake somewhere, I think I
could get used to a pontoon boat right quick. I'd have to keep the Key West
in reserve, but the idea of barbecuing my fish just minutes after it's
caught is very appealing.
Of course I'd have a BBQ on the boat!- Hide quoted text -

They are the perfect striper fishing platform around here!- Hide quoted text -

I've seen pontoons on Carlyle stand some pretty good chop. White caps?
er... I don't think so. But there is a fella that has made a curved
aluminuum plate that lips up between the toons and will sled over the
tall chops , so waves don't go flushing over the floor. I wish I had a
pic of it to post so all could get a good grasp of the idea.
Yeah, this v-4 will work on his pontoon quite well. I'm still looking
for a bargain 28'r myself.
Yes, great platform for fishing! Like fishing right off your own
portable dock.
Once we move to NC, I may give some thought to that.
