Dude you are so effin' easy to bait. Almost like baiting krelithous with a picture of a Prius.

going so slow that the doors got blown off by passing cars

Or just the word "Prius".

OMG I'm going to choke to death on this pretzel but it's OK because I've haven't laughed this hard in years.

Are you suggesting that I drive drunk to get more?

That reminds me... The boat guy said 6 horse "won't move that boat".

I told him my kid has a go-kart that'll do 30 with the same engine so this oughta go just as fast.

I kept a straight face and he actually believed I was that stupid.

Good granny they let you breed?

 

[Duck]

Um,... no... I was just there to get the boat inspected

If I wanted to go fast I'd take out the Caravel. It's 120 hp.

The bass boat is for shallow water, specifically to go places that people who can afford to **** away tens of thousands of dollars on a boat can't go.

I have a canoe with a transom on it. One of these days I'll put the 6 horse on it and see what it'll do.

I had a canoe for that very reason, for fishing in the good places. I had a trolling motor for it. and it had the holes what the oars go in so you can row it like a row boat.
I stored it at my Aunts and now it is hers somehow I HAD a canoe with a trolling motor.

"Borrow" it back.

I don't even know where mine came from. It just showed up here one day. I assumed my dad dragged it out of someone's garbage and dumped it here because the wood has been sawn out and I think the fiberglass is cracked. But he says it's mine.

I saw a video in which some guy had the same mud skipper drive and engine as mine, on a canoe and it was hauling ass. Not as fast as a jet ski but still pretty daggone fast. Guessing 20 mph.

 

[Duck]

Well I put 4 inches of water in the boat to submerge all the rivets, the scrap metal patch job on the right chine, and the live well thingy on the left side.



And only 5 out of over 200 rivets leak.

The ones that are circled here:



The carpeted runners on the trailer are covering up quite a few rivets but they're dry. Not a drop of water on the floor except under these ones towards the front.

This horrible patch job doesn't leak at all.

 

[Duck]

The leaking ones appear to be coated with liquid nails.

The boat shop guy said the white stuff is some kind of stuff that's actually made for the purpose. I forgot what he called it but I gotta get some.

This is the bucket from the old burned up shop vac. Still useful for something.

People who live far away from big cities can actually eat the fish they catch. A live well is a compartment they flood with river water to kero the fish alive until they get home, or to where ice or refrigeration is present. So they don't start decomposing.

The rivers around here, the Kankakee drains South Bend & northwest Indiana. The Des Plaines drains the middle suburbs but just north of Joliet it merges with the Chicago Ship and Sanitary canal which begins downtown and takes storm water and sometimes sewage.

So yeah, it's catch and release around here.

They told me not to do drunk posting but I didn't listen.

Yeah kinda like a styrofoam cooler.

 

[Duck]

The only fishing related garbage I'm not permanently removing are these two rod holders. And only because they're not broken, and they're not in the way.

Unless they're for holding an oar. I dunno.



The bilge pump actually moves water pretty fast. About as fast as it comes out of the garden hose. The hose was full of dead ladybugs and dirt but I blew it out with air, then got some more mud out when I ran it for a few seconds when the boat was full of water.
