It is a 1969 Boston Whaler Katama w/ a 90's Yamaha 40/50hp outboard. It has just been rigged up on the Whaler and runs but needs a Tune-up. Here are some Pics I took of it with water...

Fishy looking rig, G. Congrats! Can you change the carb to get 50HP out of that motor? And how about some LED trailer lights to bring that trailer into the 21st century? Harbor Freight ftw!

Those old Johnsons have a lot of balls! I had one, too. I love the Gregor on the lawn! Classic!

Good luck with the Whaler! I'm waiting for the video.

If you need some basic welding, hit me up. I've got a mechanic and a welder at my shop.

We built the side guards, and the light posts for our trailer. Real basic, but they get the job done. Good luck!

Yup,,, I'm gonna be doing the usual stuff stripey, bass etc. and I'll add more Salty and maybe hoopin'...lol...

I'd be happy to be your deckhand.

Why?

It'll be easy, because either your fish will be so small I can net it with a minnow bucket net...

or

You can f o...lol...
