I believe in bad karma, that boat has almost killed me once when I went swimmin going full speed and had to catch the boat that was still in gear and now this sea lion deal, time to let her go, want a little bigger boat that has a deeper transom but want to have a nice downpayment, the boat is a perfect lake boat, the trolling motor has 44 lbs of thrust not 40. its ready to fish. no it doesn't say fishin machine. just says the name and lengh.
