FISHING TIPS AND TACKLE by TONY RERRIE The Complete Fishing Boat There's hardly a fisherman alive who has not yearned at one time or another for a nice boat and motor to help in the pursuit of his favorite sport. Unfor- tunately, this yearning seldom goes away once a craft is purchased; instead, it turns into a desire for a bigger and better boat and motor, or for the elec- tronic gear and endless other marine accessories that can make angling more pleasant and productive. . The reason this is unfortunate is that there are a lot of annoying details coming between an angler and his desire to own the ultimate fishing machine. Details like a wife and children who have become accustomed to certain luxuries in life like eating. Details like a mortgage, car payments. All this can lead to much frustration for the fisherman of average means, unless he happens to be holding a winning ticket in the latest lottery or has been named as a beneficiary in the secret will of Howard Hughes. Maybe you think I'm exaggerating, but consider this: the Ranger tournament bass boat that is stashed iri the basement of my store -- outfitted with a 150- horsepower Mercury. inboard/outboard, electric fishing motor, electronic fish and depth gauges and various other goodies -- will cost you about $14,000 to buy. A deep V-hull Great Lake craft equipped with electronics, downriggers and related gear for salmon and lake trout, sells for between $9,000 and $14,000. The simple truth of the matter is that buying a fishing boat is one of the few expensive aspects of a sport that otherwise caters to modest budgets. A fishing boat is an investment, and like most investments it should be purchased with an eye to the future as well as the present. For example, you may buy a boat and motor with a view to adding an elec- tronic fish locator at a future date. In that case you'd better buy a motor with at least ten horsepower, because that's the minimum requirement for adding an electronics kit. Or you may plan to buy a larger motor in future. Better make sure that your boat is rated to handle the horsepower you hope to eventually pur- chase, because if you exceed the rating you will not only create a safety hazard, but may also void your marine insurance. The best approach -- as with most big-ticket items -- is to think carefully about both your current and future needs, talk it over with people you trust, and then buy as much quality and flexibility as your budget will allow. Of course, it's also very unlikely that you will need a boat as elaborate as the ones I mentioned earlier, and there's no law that says you have to buy the whole outfit at once. In fact, buying quality equipment over a period of time probably makes more sense than buying an entire, cheaper outfit all in one go. If you do decide to phase your purchases over time, my suggestion is to start with a motor. The reason for this is that rented boats are available in most North American fishing spots, while the same cannot be said for motors. And even if you can rent an outboard, it will probably be a beat-up old contrap- tion that doesn't work properly. The price of motors varies widely, of course, but you're looking at a minimum cost of about $1,000 for a 7.5 h.p.; about $2,000 for one in the 20-horse TIRE A RE, EY {pir EE: LA range. If you plan to fish larger bodies of water, you'll need considerably more power than that to get you out to the fishing grounds and back to port ahead of sudden storms. Your choice of boat (prices start at about $700) will also depend on what you plan to do with it. However, most fishermen find that a 12 to 14 foot aluminum car topper is perfectly accep- table for most situations. These boats are lightweight and therefore very easy to tote around. If you want to increase your fishing success, get one that's painted green, rather than natural alumi- num or a bright colour. If you do most of your angling from a central base, you might consider a fibreglass boat. It will probably be more stable in the water (especially if it comes with a V-hull), will be wider than an aluminum boat of the same length, and easier to repair than aluminum if you punch a hole in it. With the basic investment of a boat and motor behind you, it's possible to start considering useful accessories that can make you a more productive angler. More about that next week. In the meantime, if you have specific questions about fishing, just drop me a line at 4659 Kingston Rd., West Hill, Ont., MIE 2P8. I'll personally see to it that you get an answer, plus a free copy of my latest catalogue. I may even feature your question in an upcoming article. Till then, good luck and good fishing.
