Thread: Wohoo i got myself a boat :)

I been out fishing pretty much every day since 2 weeks back with two friends. But only fishing from land. So we have been talking about getting a boat to fish from and this is what we ended up with a Lohi 450 rt with a old 2 stroker but very smooth running and silent 60hp. I'm pretty stoked and we got it for a great price (about 4000$) with trailer, Now we just need to make it shine abit before we catch the monster pikes :P

Very nice! Dunno about the windshields, tho. Should not do more than 30 MPH. Might be handy for cold weather. That old Evinrude 60 will outlast the hull with a new water pump on occasion. If it has oil injection, you might consider doing away with it and mixing in the tank. Those systems fail and ruin the motors on occasion. Lay under it and wax the bottom good. Gets a little more speed! Enjoy and be safe!

FISH FRY...

I love fishing, it's a lot of fun. A boat will make it that much more. I envy you Mr.Magnus. Post some fish after your next time out, I'm sure we'd all like to see some.

Gotta agree with Pix
boats = money holes just throw money at them and nothing back at the end of the day

Well it's already been said that boats are expensive habits, and they are. They are also a lot of fun. If you don't have a lot of experience reading the collision regulations, at least a condensed version is always a good idea, especially if you are going to be in a high traffic areas. I love boats, large and small. I have a lot of time in on the water, and it's awesome. Some days it's hard to believe I get paid for what I do. Have a good time and play safe. I recommend that you should watch the video "Cold Water Boot Camp" as I think it applies to your area.

I found out the hard way as I took my last boat into the boat shop about 10 years ago: Those old Evinrude's are notorious for having the oil injection system failing. That's why when I bought my new boat this year it has a 4 stroke on it. If I had to have gone with a 2 stroke, I would have mixed my fuel in the tank and bypassed the injection system.
