I think in this week's chat we should look at what makes up a good all-round fishing craft, suited in price and size for the weekend angler. GENERAL CHOICE Let's start with some general characteristics we would like to find in a small boat, If the boat is to be used solely for fishing one should look for a craft that sits well in the water and has a ' |fairly wide beam, this will give "Vithe angler stability when over Sito one side netting the catch, 'For, more often than not, you can find two anglers so carried away with the catch that they both crowd to one side of the boat to get a look or assist each other, Try to get one with the width of the boat continuing towards the bow, avoid the' spear-like design often found on cheaper models, Another point is the depth of the craft, This is eriti- cal, for, should the angler en- joy trolling, a shallow boat can lead to trouble in rough water, 6| Drain plugs in some of the newer models are designed to automatically pump the boat dry while underway, The prin- ciple being, when you have the craft under power, and open this specially located drain, the swift movement of the water rushing beneath the hull is enough to draw excess water from the boat, simple but quite effective, Floatation is another factor which should and must not be overlooked, Make sure the craft has either styrofoam or air pockets, these are usually found under the seats and bow of the craft, Make sure the floatation will keep the weight of your gear as well as that of the boat on or near the surface NHL BIG SEVEN should it swamp, Finally -- propulsion, Engine sizes vary to such a great --(CP Photo) place, The Mikita, Chicago Hull, Chicago Beliveau, Montreal Bathgate, New York Wharram, Chicago Gilbert, New York Oliver, Boston ball League.

Keep in mind--the smaller motor, the better its trolling characteristics. Small engines are created for this purpose, It is common knowledge that heavier engines willt roll, but two-stroke engines are designed to be kept well away from the lugging point, and the use of heavier engines will roll, but en their life and efficiency, The pros and cons of mate- rials used in boat construction are many, here are just a few. woop This material, as old as man, proved more than ample in years gone by. Still, new lami- He has been playing organized nations and epoxy glues make it a worthwhile consideration, Modern Boat Shows Boon To Sports Type weight characteristics are far superior to any other, This weight factor gives excellent performance from light motors, Design requirements in the streamlining field are more than met by its durability, Last, but not least, this boat is almost maintenance free, On the con side, however, seams on some are a problem, leaks en- countered on a trip are a source of misery. Due to its lightness, it sits high on the water and, when trolling, one must con- stantly fight the wind. By chance if one should puncture the hull, it is costly and com- for the home handyman, My personal second choice to this craft, Last, but certainly not least, is perhaps one of the anglers' best bets, Available in an array of colors, this craft can be used in heavy winds and driven aground with little regard, Like the aluminum, they are hand in hand in the maintenance de- partment, neither requiring a drop of paint, Repair of this craft, even in the back woods, is its most precious blessing. For, should you puncture the hull, glass patching kits are small, compact, and easily car- ried tucked or tied under a seat or near the bok. Stiould a break occur, a matter of two or three hours and you're back 'under- way with a safe and sure repair, Difficulties, however, do oc- cur, and cracking ig one, When the boat has done considerable mileage, hair-like cracks ap- pear and honeycomb the bot: tom of the hull, these are usual- ly due to abuse and can be avoided, Shallow depth is an- other common fault, some other 16" amidship.. This leads to rough water trouble as previ- ously mentioned, Deeper boats are available and are of a slight. ly higher price. The glass boat is my choice and fills the bill for my purpose.
