[QUOTE="azekologi, post: 160084, member: 2311"] Excellent advice! As this little 12' Ouachita is my first tin, and as I tend to keep toys for a [u]long[/u] time, my son will probably end up with this boat in the distant future. My family has a summer home in the mountains, so eventually (when I see the [i]need[/i] for a [u]larger[/u] "fishing" boat), this boat will probably take permanent residence there. Meanwhile my dreams are set on a nice pontoon for the family, my needs are to outfit this little fisher (electrical, canopy, new seats, etc.), and by the time I've got it to where I want it, I'll have a much better idea of what might be a better boat for my buck. I'm very happy with this boat, the only future hurdle I see is getting the gas motor running and getting it out on the "big" lakes. A 12' tin, with a 6hp tiller probably isn't the best fit for a 10,000 acre lake (our biggest local body of water), but I'm sure it'll hold it's own on the other 2000, 1250, and 950 acre lakes in the immediate area. Thanks ya'll! [img]https://img3.sellersourcebook.com/users/44994/img_7841.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
