New toy - longtail outboard kit

I don't know where 1979 is but there should be some good fishing spots out around 1977.

Edit: I see 1979 goes into Martindale.

It is one of the main streets out of Staples. Very nice stretch of river.

After looking at the map I got the roads confused. We put in at '77.

Next trip will probably be Canyon lake since I'm confident in how well it runs.

Pretty cool. Canyon can be rough though. You'll need to hug the shore.

That thing moves pretty good!

Awesome! I don't have any particular experience with the exact kit you have but I have taken some bigger go devils into the swamp. With a light boat your gonna have to be careful of it jumping around. Hold on tight if you go through debris.

Definiitely. The last time I went it was calm and I had no problem with the canoe and a trolling motor. I know of a few coves that are typically smooth from the water being low.

This boat has proven to be an excellent handler...I just don't trust it on anything but soft debris. It's made out of polyethylene, the kinda plastic they make milk jugs out of. I've considered borrowing my brother's little 10'x36" Sears jon boat to go play around in some mud and sticks.

Another thing about this kit. At cruising speed you almost don't even need to hold it. The only reason to even touch the handle is to keep the propeller from walking to the side. It is almost perfectly balanced. My brother and dad might be getting their own soon.

They are in a land far far away...fun times for sure.

Awesome set up Colby.

That's awesome. I don't have the space for a fishing boat, but something like this could be pretty damn practical.
