MJ enjoyed it thoroughly after you were "done with it".

I have a 12 foot plastic (not fiberglass) gamefisher with a deep v hull, not a tri hull. Great little boat, storage built in under the seats, etc. Only thing I don't like is it actually has a small drain plug in the stern. Would have been much better without that hole in the back. Boat that size you bail with a coffee can... no need for a drain plug to get lost...especially an odd sized one that's hard to come by in the first place.. Still, it's a great little boat. I have a 7 1/2 hp Gamefisher outboard on it. Great for lakes and rivers around here.

Thumbs up

I clean'd it out today (it had small trees growing in it ) filled it with water for 3 hrs. no leeks so that is a good sign . The old seat's with swivels work good just need a good clening . I am going to power wash it . and put some aluminum primer on it . some paint and I will be shad and striper fishing on the CT. river by late APRIL , then the V20 will take over !!
I love these old tin boats I have had so many of them since I was a kid fromm 8' to 22' they never let me down. This one reninds me of one my Father had when I was young , a lot of good memories there
