After tomorrow, I will be posting on this forum a lot more than I have in the past. :)
After Flatsnbay's posted his BassHunter thread a few months back, the seed of owning a small boat was planted in my head. Long story short, I will be purchasing Flatsnbay's BassHunter from him tomorrow, and breaking it in right away tomorrow afternoon. :) :) Stay tuned!!

Nice! ~c~
I've been wanting to buy a smaller tin boat. I just can't seem to save enough money before something else needs to be replaced. There are a lot of smaller waters with some very nice fish were I can't put my Stratos in.

Thanks Jim. I fished with Flats last week to get a hands on feel of this boat, and for the area I intend to fish, this little boat will be perfect!! v~ v~

Congrats Lou.
I had a 12 ft deep V aluminum years many years ago that I wish I still had today. Great for smaller bodies of water and hard to reach places where a big rig can't go.
Good to see the boat will stay in the UB family.

I've been considering a move like this for a couple of years now. Instead I'm going a different way.
On one of our Vacations we rented Kayaks. It is something she has wanted to try for a couple of years.
After trying them we decided to go for it and get ones we liked. We found the ones we want but with Covid everyone was buying them and they were not is stock. Hers finally is and mine is in another store I can drive to if I want or wait. Both are fishing style, but mine is a more stable model and better for what I want out of one.
Hope yours works great for you!

The boat record is 6-15. We expect you to beat that in short order!

Congrats on the catching out of your new boat there. Tks for sharing the pictures with us also.
I had a boat similar to yours back in 80's when I was stationed at Ft. Knox, Ky. Mine had a Swivel seat in it. It came with (2) beings I fished by myself all the time back then. I took it out and it gave me more room. Mine looked similar to the one in the picture below.

These boats are pretty popular around here in Central Texas. I see guys fishing over on Ft. Hood quiet abit out of them. I liked fishing out of it a lot it was easy to load and unload from the pickup truck. The biggest thing I didn't like about it was I couldn't stand up and fish out of it.
