    Boatless Bank Trash

    First time in 40 years I've been without a boat. Advertised it for sale one day and had three contacts that same day. Couple days later it was hooked up behind someone else's truck heading to Indiana. It was one of those "Win/Win" deals: I was happy with the price I got, he was happy with the rig he got.

    It was a bitter/sweet moment. But it was time. Boat was still in great shape, almost new motor (42 hrs), sellers market, I'm a wreck (lol), etc. i'll still fish in the back of some of my friend's boats for as long as I can. But it won't be the same.

    Jim, I hope you are able to fish for many more years. It had to be tough watching that boat be towed away. I know it will be for me when the time comes.
    There was a time that I didn't fish but I cannot remember it.

    Jim, I plan on fishing up that way a bit now that I’m back in Arkansas. You have a back seat any time you want it, sir. Would love to pick your brain on spoon fishing.

    Got an empty back seat here too. If you're ever in the area of Table Rock or Beaver, give me a holler!

    I've been half tempted to sell my 2021 z21 nitro....I'd make prolly 20-30K on the sale. But it isn't a buyers market and I couldn't imagine being without a big boat. I have a 175 tracker but it isn't the same as the "big boy".
