Good luck.
I launch out of Point Breeze just up the road.
I have a place there we spend weekends and vacations at all summer.
Might see you out there chasing perch and eyes some day.
Lunds are great.
I love mine.
You will love yours too.

just added another kayak and have 5 boats now and still have the fisher pro weld, but it doesn't get used any more because we like kayaking much more. same goes for the canoe.
nice sale at dunhams on this ocean kayak prowler 13 2016 version.

I might as well show off some pictures of my new one. 2016 Lund 1775 Crossover XS with a 150 hp 4s Merc and 9.9 hp pro kicker Merc, Minnkota Terrova Ipilot linked into the Humminbird helix 10si, ect,ect.........never really ends does it? I have to say it has to be one of the classiest looking Lund's around. So far I love it!

here is the new one at the pier..

OK, I'll bite.  My new ride and the boat that I bought in 2012.  It's a 60/40 jet stick steer Alumaweld with an 80 lb. thrust trolling motor.









And what she looked like the very trip prior to my buying her:

[Mac Attack]

Nice.

How do you like the stick steer?
How hard is it to get used to?

[Fat Boy]

Nice.

I love it especially for navigating river chutes, ledges and rocks.  It's very responsive.  I had no problems getting used to it.  I had to replace the steering cable last year.  When it gets old, it tends to bind and get very tough to turn.  I guess it happens with steering wheels too, but from what I understand, it happens more frequently with stick.  Once I replaced it, I was cutting the boat all around the river!  

Jets tend to slide on turns (no skeg or prop to catch and hold the stern), and you can use that to your advantage to avoid rocks and such, but at the same time, you have to be careful and not go into a sharp turn too fast (like hot rodding up a narrow creek) or you might wind up putting the boat on a steep bank and cover the bow with mud, narrowly avoiding a rock cliff

very very nice boat I like the jet motor feature too... very big plus if you had to resell it most of us river fisher men salivate over them... is it a cable in a cable stick steer? if it is try greasing the cable with white grease early the stuff in the aerosol can... should help keep it moving I spray the end and work it in every trip out.. might pre vent premature cable failure hopefully... 

[Fat Boy]

Thanks boon...  Yes, it is a cable.  I got 4 years out of the last cable, the previous owner got about the same before that.

I can't really use my boat on big water unless I know that the winds are on the calm side.  But it is cool because I can get where other boats can't, very shallow draft on the drift too.  For where I live, I can pretty much fish just about anywhere.  I just have to be smart about where I launch on the larger bodies of water and avoid the really windy days there.  But there are enough smaller bodies of water and the upper rivers to find somewhere to fish!

[yellowpike1]

  heres the one I fish out of !!!!!

[boondox]

very nice sea nymph there yellowpike1 sea nymph are the most versatile boats made at least the one my dad has is...
