You check Craigslist already Chad?.....What length/width you looking for? I'm assuming you want something cheap that will get you down the outlet river?

I'm looking for a 8-10ft for $75 to$100.

It will just be to get to the spot and then I will hunt the immediate area on foot. I won't even put a motor on it.

Thanks for the hustle Sam, good looking out:)

I do a lot of thinking while im at work washing buildings. I was thinking about that peddle boat. I intended to be funny, but then it hit me. Why not use a peddle boat? its leg powered which means you will be hands free and you won't get tired as fast. Its nice and wide and should have room for gear.

Some good camo paint, gun racks, heck maybe even turn it into a blind if that's what your situation calls for. I think were on to something here.

Id check/ask how low it sits in the water and how low the prop or whatever it is sits also.

Im gonna buy an airbrush pretty soon and try to hone my skills. Ill put a grass effect or whatever on that joint if you get it.

I was looking at a new one the other day at Dick's Sporting goods. The paddle is in the front, and the thing can seat like 3 people. or two with gear. It's sits about halfway in the water. I'm just trying to figure out if it would be hard to row with an oar as well. Time is ticking, so I better get cracking.

I would definately think things through. You dont want to be buying a lawn ornament.

I just need to take a look at it, and determine whether or not it's worth it. If he would take $50, Its worth the gamble.

I bet he would take 50 for it if he still has it. It does need some work.

bummer dude, maybe he will call back. I almost picked up a peddlers paper this morning to see what they had going on in there. If you know anyone looking for an atv i got one. I only owe about 5 grand more than its worth on it.

no problem man glad i could help. If you paint that thing id sand it a little or wash it down real good with a scotch brite pad and wipe it with some prep solvent. should help the paint to stick a little better.

if you need any kind of misalaneous (however you spell it) supplies let me know. I run into construction dumpsters all the time with all kinds of goodies in them. I got nuts and bolts at the house from putting motors in my old s10. I got short 2x4's, 1x6's, and other stuff. You never know what you need until you need it.

Youll be down there near me, if your talking about where i think your talking about. Dont camo that thing to good you might get run over by an airboat. I might see you down there sunday if your putting in in the a.m. I gotta ask, is that your real hair or one of them hats?

I am a bit concerned about the traffic as I make my way down. I'm prob. gonna wait until well after daybreak, and the rush before I trek down. I may even brave out Lake Okahumpka. There was a flurry of shooting off the break, and then it came to a halt for the better part of the day. Some stupid idiots started blazing away before you could even see this a.m., sending ducks flying everywhere. People didn't have a prayer of even telling what they were shooting at.

That isn't a magic trick Sam, that's my Duck Fro'. I said I'd grow it from Opening week of Pa until Opening Week of Fl.

Bummer man. When we put in during archery there wasnt to many people there in the a.m. on sundays. The airboaters usually put in a little later on. But this is gun now and a whole different ball game i guess.

Are you going by boat tomorrow, or hiking in? I'll PM you the details of the J/C plan because there's too much Web Scouting going on anymore.
