I would also say your boat is paid for with a summer like that id.

Im looking for an aluminum boat in the 18 foot range for under 10k. If anyone here has someting let me know.

Both are good sites. I bought a 22' Super Vee I found on the top sit (the Oregonian Classifieds) I am amazed at the number of boats shown there versus the few in my local classifieds.

Empire, thanks again for the response. Im very new to boats larger than 14ft.. Im pleased with my stryker,but, i can see the day comming when ill feel like i need a little more boat. Here in Pocatello Id. the selection to actually look at is very limited, there was a dealer here who had Alumaweldand and Thunderjet to actually look at . I really couldnt buy a Thunderjet , Toooo much$ for a school teacher. I did catch about 100 salmon in it last summer (pinks,silvers and some kings) one 30lbs. As far as im concerned its already paid for its self in fun!!

This is for Sturgon Slayer, and Fish-on, who are both from southeast Idaho. Mud lake is still famous for thier hay ,the south fork is still a great cutt fishery, and i was also raised in Idaho Falls. I teach at Alameda Jr. High, (art). I spend most of my fishing time now days at American Falls Res. Ive gotten so that durring June I troll a oooo dodger with a fresh shiner .. Big Trout... Lots of 5 and 6 lb. rainbow and browns. Each day i fish there i expect to catch a couple in that size range, and often one around 8lbs. I mounted a 13lb. brown from the south fork and last year got a 9 lb cutt from American Falls(ate him).I was born in N.Calf. and salmon fished with grandpa in the ocean each summer as i grew up, Ive rediscovered my love of catching salty fish and am really excited to have spring break to come over to your area and get some springers.
