On The Fly Jack Plates

Things you find surfing the internet. I came across a website called On the Fly Jack Plates. Basically, this is an on the fly manual jack plate that allows for instant adjustments, even while motoring along.

It was just a beast of a little fishing boat that created fun times and memories. I wish he still… ...Read More

I get that it is not for everyone, but for those looking for a tournament bass boat, you might want to take a look at Avid Boats. Looks like there is way more room for the driver than what is in my Ranger. That’s… ...Read More
