damn thats a nice line up, how you like that war eagle for the shallows? Whats the draft on it? My pops almost bought a 20ft war eagle, but decided to go for a 15ft sea nymph which was a really good deal almost a steal, 6" draft and the 18hp tohatsu on the back only weighs about 50lbs and the boat it self weighs about 300lbs so it goes up the schuylkill where ever you point it, thats what i use to go cat fishing
edit: that tohatsu's worth its wait in gold! take care of it!!
do you know the papenfusses from WC? i have friends fromt here i met at college, and they all live up here by me now haha

you can take it for a spin! I sold the lifeline jacket though, i would highly recommend some sort of steel spine reinforced vest!!
in other news, I found out today the civil service awards "bonus points" on all exams to veterans, minorities, and people with disabilities...gd bs.

no. It is bs that ANYONE gets extra points on an exam. The kicker is its not just 1 or 2 points, its over 10 per qualification...call me crazy. I am a huge fan of equality for all peoples, I do not think race or disabilities or vet status should even be factored in. It should be based solely upon the score/performance in the job. Not sure how you feel about it?

wouldnt trade that boat for anything! Not sure on draft depth, never really measured...but i will run it against any flat bottom on the market! I had a 55/35 suzuki jet on it and it was a runner andwould run shallow as all get out! But i was having issues with ice forming in the jet during duck season when the rivers icy, so i run that long shaft mud buddy and it will run through pure mud or even wet sand. I can push it across rock bars with the long shaft well, which is awesome. Could never own any other outboard that isnt an air cooled briggs and stratton! I have a friend with a 20-72 war eagle and it is an awesome hull, runs it with a 115 and it performs very well! He takes it 25(?) ish miles offshore tuna fishing... edit: that tohatsu's worth its wait in gold! take care of it!! do you know the papenfusses from WC? i have friends fromt here i met at college, and they all live up here by me now haha

yeah my pops other boat a 19fter (also a sea nymph) its 72 wide and its so nice that way, super sturdy and not tippy at all... ohh i know all about the tohatsu, one of the best outboards in my opinion, it runs so good, single half pull, cold, and it idles perfectly...... So u live central PA then?
