New toy today
I found this little gem 1/2 mile from my house. It is a 12' DELHI ??? made in LOUISIANA with a trailer and a 7.5 hp gamefisher and a 40# electric motor all for $125 !! need's some work but will be a nice small lake boat when done. Now I have 2 boats to work on

Some of the most fun I ever had was w/a boat about like that...GREAT find!!:beer:
|
Nice - rig it for serious offshore tuna and marlin fishing.
|
Yea I am going to enter some shark
tournaments with it this summer LOL |
My first boat was a 12 foot Sears Gamefisher with a 6 hp Johnson, use to fish every where in that thing!! All saltwater for stripers and stuff use to have a blast!! If I ever get another boat I will be going back that way, no more big boats, I would love a nice 14 or 16 foot tin boat to get back to some of my close spots!! Good Luck

MJ, Gamefisher was a little plastic like tri-hull wasn't it? My parents had the Montgomery Wards brand, SeaKing, it was a semi-V. Fond memories, I still recall scooting under the front bench seat to get a nap as a young child. I have seen my parents pull 100+ crappie and panfish on many occasions from the livewell of that boat. Even the fishing tackle was simplified back when. We had about 4 fishing rigs to our name, Zebco 33's and one Mitchell 300,(Mom's bass fishing rig) Didn't need anything fancy, couldn't afford it if we wanted it. A certain fun factor comes built-in with a simple rig IMO. I like my little boat as much as the Wellcraft, $/trip is a whole lot better. Nice score.
