Finally had a chance to take out the old 14 foot Lone Star aluminum boat I purchased over the winter. I got to go out into the creek with this little aluminum V hull boat that was purchased to potentially replace my 12 foot aluminum V hull boat. However, I need to see if it floats and is in in fact better suited for me and my needs than my 12 foot boat.

During this short outing I used a paddle, a Minn Kota Riptide 55 lbs. thrust 12 volt trolling motor connected to a lead acid battery and a Mercury 2.5 hp two stroke short-shaft outboard engine. The Mercury outboard motor gave me some trouble which cut the trip short but I still had enough time on the water to make some initial observations on whether this boat might be better suited for my boating needs.
