New outboard motor
« on: July 29, 2003, 02:06:21 AM »
I just ordered a new Briggs & Stratton 5HP FourStroke Outboard motor w/Forward & Reverse too it was on sale for $699 w/free shipping too such a deal.  I wanted a smaller motor for small lakes where you can rent a row boat and use your own motor.  Plus I may add it on the 17' fisher boat we have too for trolling with. I haven't heard anything yet about it and i have been thinking of making one for years out of a lawnmower engine and finally they did it.   Does anyone know or heard anything about this motor?         BigBill

My son just picked up a 17' fisher boat w/18 hp evinrude w/trailer($500) to take me fishing which I just got the motor tuned running great.  So everything I learned bass fishing from shore will soon be used on the water from a boat and if it works out and we do good fishing a newer bass boat will be in our future soon.

You will wish  you had a boat years ago.  You can get into some good bass fishing where you could not have fished on the bank.    You will definitely enjoy the boat.  

I got a 17' jon boat with a johnson 9.9 hp.

Next, you'll need a trolling motor, some batteries, and a LCR.  :grin:

Skipper your right again I found a trolling motor at a local flea market for $30 an old one but she'll work for now in this boat anyway.   BigBill

We have two hummingbird fishfinders and GPS not a bad start.

Hawghead your right too we even been talking about a new boat for next spring already.
