1995 “KruggerBrand Baymaster” 18’ CC tunnel hull. Recently acquired through a trade for an old truck I had sitting around. Powered by a 1996 135 Mercury. Good boat no issues with it, transom seems solid. One small soft spot around a hatch in the floor near the bow, has a bad seal around the...
I live in southeast Texas, our winters are very mild, so mild in fact I’ve never had to winterize my boat before. Neither has anyone else I know in my fishing community. Everyone fishes pretty much all year around as our winters are typically in 50s during the days and 40s at the coldest, if we...
