[MEM1971]

Mine was a 13 foot aluminum boat with a v shaped front. Fairly deep boat for its size. my grandpa gave it to me when we visited Kansas and I was 10 years old. We went up there in a Buick 4 door station wagon pulling a 16 foot camper. We put that boat upside down on top station wagon and coming back to lake charles looked like national lampoons Moore vacation for sure!! Got back and put a 4 horse johnson on it but it kept having problems so dad bought me a 9.9 evinrude and turned me loose! Him and my step mom would fish out of a 15 foot aluminum boat with 25 Chrysler with steering wheel and I could keep up with them going to the white perch holes!! Bought my first trolling motor the next summer and started Bass fishing. Fun times as a kid growing up on Calcasieu River!
