 You were just in everything today miss ma'am. Look at you. I'll just say we have an active one-year-old I think is the understatement of the century y'all she's getting into everything including all of my hunting gear my camping gear She wants to grab it all today. It was my my vinyl harness pack and all of my other accessories that I just got back from from hunting and doing some some cool stuff up at the flare farm so Today I am going to get a boat I have been searching on the internet on on Craigslist I've been going on Facebook Marketplace, which is a really good place to find pretty much anything But outdoor equipment I've been wanting to find something That I can go out and do just just more like Catfishing, carp fishing Stuff like that and not mess up my really nice boat that I have that I got from Fun and Sun I get a boat from them every year and I want to keep it really nice I don't want to be slinging catfish getting that goo all over the carpet and as well as Having access to some different hunting areas to go do all sorts of hunting do deer hunting do Small game hunting bird hunting, you know duck hunting you obviously need a boat So I've I've wanted one of these kinds of boats for years And I just haven't pulled the trigger on one and so I'm trying to find something Low expenses I can beat up I can get catfish goo all over it and it's not gonna matter and I just want something with a good engine It's gonna be reliable and I don't get stuck out there on an island or something like that I'm waiting on a response right now. It's a crummy day. It's a good day to go do this I'm really looking forward to having a smaller boat I can play around with in these colder months and do some like backwater bass and in the early spring So let's go see if we can get this boat in the driveway today, and I'll show you guys What kind of vessel I'm talking about it is just an absolute crumb bumbler of a day Raining it's 46 right now Yeah My first actual boat was a 17-foot aluminum boat with a 70 horse Yamaha, and I think it was like a 82 and it was called the Bandit was an aluminum craft bandit, and I called it the bandito So old bandito that is where I originally learned how to do a lot of fishing Across the board white bass catfish large mouth. It's really when I started getting into large mouth fishing And it ran pretty good honestly So I'm looking for something that is similar to that not quite as much horsepower and not a console I want something that I can Do it just a stick steer and Really just run up on the bank and not have to worry about it Then I can really get the best of both worlds with a really nice bass boat That's really comfortable tons of storage And I can go on the biggest lakes in the country And then I can have a small little duck boat essentially that I can just get muddy and go into the backwaters Where I really can't take my other bass waiting on the owners to message me back and say yes They'll accept this price. They're really similar ones older That has a newer motor once newer and a little bit longer and has an older motor But same kind of concept while I'm waiting. I got to get some supplies Oh Fatback son of a sandwich big-eyed golden crispy to be the dropping Too bad you're in a tank and not in the lake. I would have Update for you guys. I got a bunch of I got some fly tying equipment, which is for something a project I'm gonna show you guys really soon. I just got a Text from the owner of this this one boat that is close and he's trying to get rid of the boat like ASAP like today He's like, can you come right now? There's some other people that are going to look at it, too So I'm trying to beat them to it Hopefully we're the first to get there and everything checks out. We're gonna be going home with a new vessel, baby We are pulling out ladies and gentlemen Say Man, I think this was a pretty good find y'all pretty good find for the money Great guy. I just met he He's moving Kind of had to get rid of the boat quick But kept it in a garage its entire life That's always the boats that you want to try to get and You actually maintenance did and everything so I'll show you guys a boat here in just a second The weather is incredibly cold is a terrible day to go out on the water Plus all the wind and everything so our first test run is gonna have to wait but I'll show you guys the ins and outs of it and We're gonna name this boat as well, and I want you guys to name it So once we take a look I want to hear your comments Back at her on in to her new home here in Treehouse No, it's no sketer, but I promise you this boat is going to serve a very valid purpose for many many months To come hell maybe even years to come. Let's just go over here for a second To the old silver bullets this boat right here y'all. This is the ultimate dangle vessel. However This thing I'm not putting in shallow water. I'm not going up on rocks. I'm not putting it in the mud But over here we can go in the mud We can sling those gooey catfish and all sorts of nastiness up in here and not have to worry about it And it's quite small too. This is only 15 feet long. I looked at some 14s 14s were just a little too Rickety especially, you know a fish with a lot of people. I have a lot of gear I need a little extra room this one just stood out to me because the just overall Well-keptness of it. This has been garage kept original owner Those are hard to find and the motor the old yami Got the old 25 horse yami two stroke on there It's a little stick steer stick throttle I didn't want to have to deal with an old boat with a console and steering cables and all that stuff that normally goes bad So this is just a really reliable system. Let's just have a gander on the entrance right here. First of all I've got the seat. It's pretty daggum nice seat. Honestly. It's like it's hadn't been used It's really good condition The owner also carpeted the inside So normally your John Boat is just you know metal on the inside He carpeted it lifted this out carpeted the front back Everything so just a little nicer texture a little better on the old feet will be nice in the summer Back here. We got two five gallon tanks so we could switch off between the two And uh, we've got one battery Very simple system. So the one battery is literally for Just the lights and the trolling motor So I wasn't even looking for about the how to trolling motor. This was just kind of a bonus And it does work So this is uh I'm gonna I didn't even look at the thrust. I'm just gonna assume it's uh It's like a 40 Yeah, it's a 40. It's that old school Uh main code of 40 So this the trolling motor really wasn't used that much Which is nice. I mean it's got just really low hours on On that also one ahead made sure The motor starts so that runs He even included life jackets a couple of anchors some rope a paddle The essentials of having the john boat life. The trailer is really well kept The trailer did not travel that far throughout its life. It's got new tires and wheels on it I mean hubs are greased. We are good to go. The only significant problem I see that we're probably gonna have to put a fix to is There is a weld that busted loose Right here. I actually on both sides So those welds right there where the back deck connects to Those welds are breaking loose It's an 07. So it's got some wear it's got some wear and tear But I'm gonna have to do some fixes on that little maintenance on this thing exact same thing on this side So I don't anticipate Water's really going to be an issue. Um coming in there like that At that height as you can see the water line. It's pretty much right here But um, I don't know maybe on a choppy day that could get annoying. We're definitely gonna fix it though That motor has definitely seen some hours, but It's okay. You know those yama haze run for a long time So the old rough neck here It needs A new name. You know how we do it. I want to hear from you guys down in the comments what we need To name this new boat You know hit me with something. Is it gonna be The mondo express Kind of like that Uh the duke of dangle Come on, you know some verbiage that is Very familiar on this channel or maybe something new that I haven't thought of that you guys Um are gonna brilliantly come up with for this old 15 foot finagler No, let's not name it that you can come up with something better It's the mighty friendly fox that killed all of the chickens Off into the distance he goes As all the doves scatter in fear Unbelievable the gonads on that guy or Gal, I'm not really sure. There's honestly a pair of them that comes through here Um, a lot of animals have been showing up since it's gotten cooler. The deer are back The hogs showing up again There I got dozens of doves in here every day and there's these annoying crows that come in And they basically beat around all the the songbirds or like little savages So speaking of that, mr. Fox nice little segue On my journey today to get the boat I stopped off and I got Some crow decoys Yes, they actually make these. I also got some other things for some various projects i'm working on in the dangle department And I ended up getting a call as well. I ended up getting a uh, uh Yeah, it says it's bobcat call But really just a vomit call because we are about to fire up that chicken game again I've got a lot of improvements a lot of construction. I'm gonna be doing On the coop itself. I haven't even shown that thing forever, but uh a lot of updates come there So anyway, we got the pesky crows. We've got all sorts of predators in here So we got to do some backyard battles So we're gonna sign it off today with the brief tour of the new boat. Don't forget to let me know in the comments What the name of this special should be and also put this date in your calendars november 12th It's coming up really soon.
