I love it. Get out there and do it, you don't need to spend 10s of thousands on a boat to get out on the water. Just a small boat and careful preparing.
Right?? A guy at work kinda laughed when I bought my little boat but I'm out on the water and having fun every weekend and he isn't so who's laughing now
Lil boat hauling ass brings back memories of my ol river boat we had a group of us growing up with old River boats and old jet skis we spent a lot of time on the water in the summer
That’s a 9.5. People call them turtle motors. I ran a 1965 9.5 until last year when I gave it to my brother. Great motors, made from mid 60’s to early 70’s I believe. Take care of it. It’ll live for many more decades.
I have the exact same setup and take it on any lake! I just went on the Columbia river in Washington! And did great 2 full grown men and gear going 20 mph!
It's amazing how fast a 12 foot aluminum boat will go with a 10hp motor. My first boat was a 12 foot aluminum with a 1957 Mercury Mark 10. It really moved out when it was just me in it.
I thought you was going to load all that stuff in your boat. You should see my 12` boat when I load it to stay overnight on the bank some where. I usually want for nothing when I go coffee pot ,stove whole 10+ yards even a sleeping bag ,tell you how we keep from losing our poles on another one.
