What have you done for your boat lately?

Been meaning to post this for a couple of years actually. I had it out to move it and finally took a pic of it. When I was looking for a tray, I looked into all sorts of options, including bread racks, but bit the bullet and paid the premium. Just not a lot out there. I believe NRS makes one now too, but I think this flycraft version is larger and it is just as expensive. Anyway, used an NRS seat clamp and clamped it onto the anchor arm going out behind me. Dramatically improves cargo capabilities of my NRS slipstream 96 and I have even put a pad on it so the dog can hang out on it when we don't have a lot of stuff. But when we are casting and blasting, this really helps because i can haul everything I need now quite easily. Really pleased with it.

This summer I purchased a 10’ Spratley Jon boat. It was a bare boat, and while it does fit in my truck bed, it’s damn heavy & I needed a trailer to tow it behind the Alaskan Camper.

I found a small King trailer nearby, converted it to carry a Jon boat, replaced the bearings and tires and it’s now ready and safe for I90.

The Spratley received some love too. New wheels for the transom, new seats and seat saddles to mount them on.

New oars from Mark Yoshida, are tucked away in the oar holders. I’m ready for fun in Central Washington this Fall.

Say Hi if you see me!

Very cool! Such solid boats, I saw a lot of them on my many trips to the Kamloops area. I can't tell from the photographs how you have the oars secured to the boat but it looks as if you're going to tow it at freeway speeds with the oars in their holders?

I wasn’t planning on it until I got them all secured and they are very solid in the brackets. But really, there is no reason to try it, other than….. well, there really is no reason
