So, I'm fixinto pull the Airstream over by a river. I'm more a Kayak/ Canoe kind of guy, but with my limited mobility... paddling for any length of time is a no go.
I'm inclined to go bigger.... I'll be buying one (used naturally) with a trailer, or picking up a harbor freight trailer or something no matter what picking up either and putting it on my truck is a no go.
And you never know, others might be crazy enough to want to go off in the swamps with me.
I might fish a little... havent fished in probably 10 years, but I did all the time when I was a kid.
Mainly just going to go poke around the few hours a day I can be up and about. (So I'll probably rig something so I can lay down when I need to.)
Also, the 14" might handle the Lake of the Ozarks on a limited basis.
I know rivets leak, and can be sealed.
I figure to throw up to $2K at the project, pick up a decent used motor and throw some oars in it for "when" (May or may not get a trolling motor.)
-Basically duplicating the set up my Dad had when I was a kid... As I recall it didn't cost much to keep up despite the "Hole in the water you throw money into."
Comments, or "I've got X" welcome
