I fished a lot of Puget Sound and the San Juans out of a leaky 12' fiberglass boat with a Sears and Roebuck Gamefisher 5.5 hp motor, and the motor was sketchier than the leaky boat.

Probably wouldn't take that same boat out today if I still had it...maybe not even on a lake lol.

I remember once launching at Washington Park and motoring around the point to Burroughs Island to fish for lingcod, and a north wind kicked up something fierce...getting back to Washington Park was quite an adventure.

That boat could barely outrun the tide, much less wind and waves.

Killed a lot of stuff in it, though...used to use it without the motor to float the Snoqualmie and Skykomish, too. Rowboats are a lot harder to pull plugs out of than are driftboats, but we did it.

Fish on...
