what to do ?

   What was this thread about again  ???     Reading mixed reports on the Halibut catch...one  yeah, one nay.

    Your going to need something more than a Scupper Pro to beat the Batmobile...     

 Double down on that bet Sailfish.

      PS.  Raptor,,, paddles like a kayak,  stable like a boat.    I was going to call it a Kay-Oat !  LOL,   but Tim Niemier beat me to it with that new thermoformed SOT.  He named it" Coyote".   

 If a 10' wave breaks on me sideways ( or frontal for that matter )  I'll deserve it for going out in those kind of conditions. Just bury my body at sea.   
  BTW, It's a mono hull , not a catamaran.  Concave, planning hull , rather than a V type displacement hull.

Trifly ? 

We are on then? 8am MBK launch and head for the red can in front of the aquarium turn and back to the launch. Eat your wheaties boy! This 57 year old man is going to woop your ass 


PS bring cash

How about the OK Torqe or the Trifly

The torque ia a kayak with a trolling motor. WTF is a trifly? Im looking now. Hang in there Toona! Just a bit longer man.

Will there be arm wrestling too?      

Handshake competition. Baitman please introduce yourself to Big JIm before the paddle. Wink, wink

  LOL,,,    I'll be the other 57 yr old.   So you can't claim it was youth that beat you. 

  Better dust off the soloflex .

Hi Yakers:

           A-types is why I fish alone.

Its all fun Ernie, just fun. I hope the Raptor wins. Teach me to be more humble.

      Buying one  specific boat  over another because " He's a good guy "  is kinda lame IMHO..     Like saying buy a Toyota  over a Ford because somebody else likes the guy who owns the dealership...     Where will you be fishing..  Lakes,  Bay? 
 

Ironic. The only reason I'm even mildly interested in the Raptor is because it's built & designed by a local guy who appears to have put a lot of effort & thought into a radical new design. I respect that a lot.
Good thing fishing isn't a race. Or I'd probably have to buy a boat (see Nitro Z-9 bassboat w/225HP Mercury OB for reference..it's on sale for $39,995 right now).

   Oh,,,, The PRESSURE  .        

 Seriously,  it's all in fun.     I showed up at the ARW yesterday bright and early.  Kept looking for  a Scupper Pro with racing stripes.
  Wasn't until I got home I realized  it's at MBK,  whew , what a relief.  That means 3 weeks to get in shape, wax the hull...

   Question ?   Does Big Jim got one of those crushing handshakes that will cripple my paddling hand ?

No not at all! Jim is a limp wristed rock climber. He climbs well and hes strong. Go for the two handed shake! Thats the weakest.

This has really been an entertaining thread    How about a new one for this new wager?  Care to make it a bigger competition?    I imagine a lot of guys have wanted to do a race of kayaks to find out which is the fastest

Yes Al lets do it on the PIF thread. It costs 20 bucks to compete all money goes to PIF. Come on all comers.

Fastest kayak or fastest paddler? Hate to choose sides but based on yak alone my money is on the Scupper.
