Fishing and Boating...

This page is devoted to our fishing and boating activities. Never having been interested in fishing, we one day decided that we should buy a boat and start doing some fishing. So we started looking at fishing boats listed for sale on EBAY. We found a few nice boats in our price range and started bidding on them and low an behold we wound up with the one pictured on this page. It was a Sprint Bass Boat and looked to be in good condition. The only down side  to the purchase was that it was about 1100 miles from our home. Anyway we drove the Jeep down to pick up the boat and found it easily by using the GPS in the Jeep. The trip home however, was a horse of a different color. We plugged the boat wireing into the Jeep and found that  the Jeep required a different kind of plug. So our first stop was at the first Camping worldt to purchase the correct plug. They did not have the right one so we wound up putchasing a new set of magnetic tow lights. That required considerable rewiring that we had to do in the parking lot before we could head on home. Everything seemed to ge going fine when a truck driver passing us on the highway, honked at us and we figured that something must be wrong so we pulled over and found that one of the magnet lights had come loose and was dragging on the pavement. We ducktaped it back on but the lense was broken so we had to stop at the next truck stop and hunt for a replacement Lens.
