HELP! Before I do something stupid.
« on: November 27, 2006, 07:44:44 AM »
What's a boatman to do?  I'm trying to decide between buy a second boat.  A wide deep Jon boat and keeping my Gheenoe.  Or selling my Gheenoe w/o Motor and purchasing a Supreme.  I am realizing now that I want a larger boat to handle heavy, choppy water.  More stability and a large fishing area would be nice.
What should I do?

I’ve been there Thumper and I would like to recommend a Supreme. But, I need to get the boat and see just how I like it before I go telling someone else to buy one. There aren't alot of boats that suit all the styles of fishing I do but the Supreme just might be the closest I've found yet. Two boats is nice but ALOT of trouble and cost out the yazoo. My dad always told me a boat was nothing more then a hole in the water you pour money into. He was right,,,, as usual.

When I get the Supreme we can go out and see how you like it.

Something else to keep in mind is the larger 48" bottomed Supreme's like mine need a bit more power then the 42". That 20 Merc might not be enough for teh 48".

Grumpy, if you owned my Gheenoe how or what would you do to change the set- up.  Don't worry you won't hurt my feelings.
