Here we go!

I decided about a month ago that I needed a pond hopper boat.  I will go into the details of why I felt one of these was right for me in later post but right now let's just talk about finding the boat that was right for me.  My primary reasons for wanting one of these boats were as follows:

Location:  I just moved and now have a great State Fish and Wildlife area about 10 minutes from my house and all of the water there is idle speed only.  Also I feel like right now I don't have room for anything bigger at our new house so I thought one of these would be a good way to get on the water without any adverse effects.


Cost:  I didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on a big boat, gas, trailer plates, insurance and the like.  I really wanted something I could throw in the back of the truck and get on the water.

I ended up with a KL Industries Sportsman 8.  I have only had it out once but was impressed by the stability of the boat.  I have lots of modifications in mind and am looking for more good ideas.  Pictures of my boat and how I have it set up will go up in my next post.  Until then.
