Couldn't resist the urge

After alot of thinking about my style of fishing and a family pet emergency I put my proangler on the market
(Pet is ok). When the wife found out she told me not to sell unless I was getting another one. I had a burning desire to travel further troll and chase fish down. I had less of a need for a standing platform with alot of storage. I like to pick a location and target species and go from there. Only taking what's needed the angler was over kill. So after toss and turning I picked up this Adventure Island. It is well rigged but will change a few things. Paddle, peddle and sail I'm looking forward to doing it all. Easy to car top and can know leave from work for a mid week fish. There is no perfect all-rounder but I think will enjoy the versatility.

Looks good, but would look better on the water and maybe some scales and ink on it ;)

Spot on Keith and to keep up with you at Kirk's lol.

The hatch has an extra seal the rear lines look good.
I have fixed up a few mount holes by welding them up.
Orings on hatches are tight. I will practice sailing and reEntry up at epplalock.

Onya Frank, I should be ok for a sail in a few weeks, so if you want some company down this way, just ask.

Good pick up Frank. :up:

It looks like it's already had some good work put into it but then there's still plenty of pimping you can do. Let me know if/when you want head out together and I'll show what I've done with mine. Maybe a quick sail to P2 for a fish sometime.
