Where u from sticker?

 

Looking at that sandy soil and gravel I'm going say somewhere in central Miss. south of Jackson. But that's just a guess.
BTW Good score if you got boat and trailer for free.

I would say Pinola, Mississippi with my keen detective work....

 

your'e kids look skeptical :laugh:

 

Well , the price was right, If its sound I see nothing but uphill from here, If its what you want. If not do what you gotta do and turn it for a few bucks .Thats what i just did with a 16 foot bass boat i bought for 1200.00 this summer , Fished it all summer and sold it for 2500.00 to a friend and he got a heck of a deal so everyone is happy .Putting the profit toward my 1860 i bought a while back.Win Win for you .

 

Did it come with titles to boat and trailer ???

 

If be interested in the troller head if you want to part with it

 

It's got a Mississippi registration on the side...

Could closer to Mendenhall Just saying

 

Yep, Harrisville between Pinola and Georgetown, nice detective work fellas. And yall are right the kids aint too excited about it, I traded the troller for a trailer in better shape than this one, its twisted pretty bad. I plan on decking the front of the boat forward of the consoles about 18 inches over the gunnels, that should give me plenty of height to see and room for lights too. If it wasn't for stuff like this coming along I wouldn't be able to bowfish at all so this will be my new to me boat. I do have a bill of sale for the boat we don't need titles to get registered with the state here, a bos or mso will get you legal for a small fee.

 

Good deal , keep us posted on the build and hopefully can get plenty of help or ideas off here if you need it....

That Ranger is a solid boat. My father has a 374V... I think a 1994 model and it is a great boat. It looks the same (albeit in a much more pampered condition), but just with a single console.

Excellent deal for sure. :hb:

 

looks like a heck of a bow fishing rig to me! I bet it cleans up better than you expect.

 

Got an old Evinrude 150 to push it..

 

tacked up a frame for the front deck

 

And started laying some fresh carpet

 

This should be a cool build

 

Was going great till you mentioned carpet :headbang:

 

I was thinking about bed liner but the boats I have seen like that didn't turn out real good, plus the carpet was free. I might use this for taking my lil girl bass fishing too , so I guess I can wash the gar gravy outta the carpet.

 

Bass boats dominate out here.I have built a couple,I would have not went with crpet and went with Durabak,but that being said I know a few guys that are no joke(DMC)and have had the same carpet for 10+ years

Why do you guys like bass boats out there so much? Is there an aluminum shortage? Glitter surplus? :laugh: That Skeeter looks bad fast with that big ol Yammer Jammer hangin off the back!

 

I can't speak for kuger, but we run a bass boat because the prices of aluminum boats are ridiculous. I love bowfishing, it's my favorite thing to do (and I have a lot of hobbies) but I'm not going to spend that much money on a soda can boat. The best thing about a bass boat is that I can put the lights and deck on tonight and bowfish all night and then take them off and take the friends out tubing tomorrow. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a soda can boat, but the prices are beyond ridiculous to just go fishing.
