Why I'm here...

#1

Post by BrianW »

I guess this is a good a spot to start on this forum.

Our current boat. It's 22ft, drop bow, repowered last year with a 175hp Suzuki and upgraded to the 16" prop which makes these motors the good deal they are...

Underway, but with the old 130hp Honda...

We run her up on the beach, rocks, or whatever required. There's nothing tougher than a welded aluminum boat with an outboard(s).

Thanks for the invite!

CAN I COME LIVE WITH YOU???????????????????????

PRETTY PLEASE!

just the thought of collecting a bear off the shore in my boat makes me want to move!

That is some seriously pretty country.

Where is that in Alaska?

I keep contemplating, do I belong here or in a place like that?
But all I know how to do is fish with my customers. I got fired from a Real Job, 12 years ago, because I fished too much so I turned into a business, with only two nickels knockin around in my pocket.

Welcome!!!

Brian,

I have to agree with Dave!

Man what I wouldn't do to spot and stalk a Black Bear with my Recurve or even a odiak Bear and then take it home in my own boat while stopping and getting some crabs and prauns for dinner from my traps. Beautiful country, wether its BC or Alaska.

Cool boat, thanks for the post. Marty

Sorry for the delay in replying.

We live in S.E. Alaska. Just about all the hunting up here involves boats. It makes for a great combo, but the tides can be hard to deal with when going ashore. Just about everyone has been left high and dry at least once, it comes with the territory.
