I have to say Baysport - I like your minimalist approach. Leaving the center console at home is a very money-saving move.
Ha! I put $4.00 in the little plastic gas tank and used about half of it! Figure if going solo, and sticking to the areas inside Sand Island why not take the 14' Gregor? Easy to tow, launches off the dirt at the fishing ground, runs on a plane at half throttle with the 15hp Merc, 35lb thrust transom mount trolling motor allows poking around in shallow back coves, etc. I love it!
I was in outhouse cove and saw a guy waving at me. Said he hiked all the way from the Hole 33 parking lot. Gave him a ride back and a bottle of water. Good thing there was an extra PFD on board. Asked me if I wanted to sell the boat! I think it was the stripers in the ice chest that sold him on it. Sorry I'm rambling......
