I Don't Know If I Will Buy A Boat Tomorrow---(If I Do It Will Not Be Like The Good Old Days)---(ED It Is Long)

[deathwind1]

I Have Not Had A Boat For 20 Years But I Been Looking At Craigslist For About 4-5 Days And Have Picked Out About 6 To Look At---First Time I Am Looking In Vancouver Then Port. IF I Have Too----I Am After A 15-16 Ft With At Least A 40hp Engine---So I Can Run The Columbia River Again And Do Some Salmon And Sturgen Fishing---The First One I Am Looking At Is 15 Ft. With a 90hp On It----Guess I Wont Have Any One Dumb Enough To Play With Me Like I Did When I Was 25----4 Of Us Made Up Our Own Games---One Was Seeing How Close Two Boats Could Pass Each Other Wide Open We Did Hit Each Other 1 Time And I Got A Hole Poked In My Boat, Took A While For Me To Fix It----Another Game Was Go The Same Direction And Try To Make The Other Boat Either Slow Up Or Force Him To Run Into The Bank, One Guy Got His Motor Ripped Of His Boat Cause He Ran Into A Chain Holding A Log Raft---Those Were Some Of Our Very SAFE Games----We Sometimes Did Things That Could Have Got Us Put 6ft Under---

I Found Out How Wide They Are One Time When I Took My Boat And Decided To Cut If Front Of One In The Columbia---Also Found Out Another Time When You Get 1 Wave From The Prop That It's Darn Near Impossable To Back Out---The Wash Just Keeps Drawing You In !
