Metzeler is sold

Just sold my RIB. It’s kind of sad one can grow accustom to these little boats a specially when they never have let you down. Just got the Sib out and cleaned up for this year and maybe next year get a larger boat.

ted williams motor

Holy cow, I had a sears ted williams fishing rod when I was a kid, so just going into this, the motor could date from the mid 1960's.

If you buy the motor, interested in a matching rod?

I would forget the gamefisher. In the states there still is a following but its getting harder and harder to get parts, If I were you id look for a merc or evinrude. But thats just my 2 cents worth, mayby others have had more experiences with them
