Das Boot

You probably want to know about the boat and all the other manly things that go with fishing. The boat is a 18 ft National fiberglass tri-hull. She is powered by an old GM 2.5 Iron duke putting 120 hp at the prop. ( Or whats left of it! ). We put a new manifold and freeze plugs in it this fall. ( Note to former owner... WINTERIZE YOUR BOAT YOU FREAKIN IDIOT ! ) Now that I have that off my chest...., replaced all the seats, new carpet, hummingbird fish finder ( The newbies think it's " Neat " ) and pretty much gave her what she needed. We just bought her this fall and have only had it out three times. It sure is more comfortable than the old 14ft aluminum Montgomery-Ward with the 20hp Johnson we used previosly. No, not all five of us at once. We might be crazy but we're not...well most....some of...I'm not stupid !

Cast of characters

I guess I should introduce this rag tag crew of dedicated fishermen. First and foremost is me the skipper, ( Well I have the key to the boat ) Kevin. Next would be my friend and landlord, ( Hence the friend part! ) Pon. We don't really know what the hell he does for work, and don't really give a shit! He told us once, but we never listen to him. Then we come to my next door neighbor, Darwin, aka " Mr D ", a retired meat cutter and a fine wood worker! To complete our foursome is Greg, aka " Greg " jack of all trades and master of all of them too! The guy never stops amazing me. He could make a coconut out of a TV! And of course to screw up our foursome is my buddy Les. He's smart as a horse and hung like Einstein! He has a job, today, but this could change at any time! This freaking guy could catch fish in a puddle of pee! If he doesn't catch one, I'm sure he will hold me entirely responsible. You'll see.
Now we're not afraid to bring newbies with us as long as they pay for gas, beer and bait! Some of these newbies will probably provide the funniest stories. Well, we hope you enjoy our little blog and keep coming back. Remember, If the women don't find ya handsome, they should at least find ya handy!
