Inspired by leaky waders and cramped float tubes, I scooped up a new toy on my commute home today.
The Walker Bay 8, which weighs in at 71 lbs and slides right into the bed without any overhang. The ol’ girl has some fishing (crabbing?) battle scars, but I couldn’t argue with the FB marketplace price. Marketed as a sailing dinghy/yacht tender, the goal is to set her up pram-style with a folding seat, solid wood oars, Scotty fly rod holder and Scotty anchor puller.
I intend to update the thread with build progress and fishing adventures. Hopefully she holds a future even Flip would be proud of.
