BASSEDOUT

fishnkamp I will shoot you an email when I get off of work tonight I would love to get on another boat and learn. as for upgrading boats, right now its just not in my budget, my wife would end me, lol. I was willing, or so I thought, to make a trade but that is out of the question now. its funny you sent me that picture of the nitro I actually offered them 5,000 for it and was in contact with them for a while, they were willing to move but not that much. so I ended up with a sweet jon that I could afford and it had everything I needed on it to competitively fish the pond tournaments around here.2,900 for everything on the boat, but around 3,200 total with the travel and registering her in de. in about three years or so I will definitely be upgrading so I can river fish. but hopefully your friend can help me out and I can get on a few different boats and go from there. and if you don't mind I will def. keep your email and follow you on here as well as others as it seems there is a wealth of knowledge on a wide range of topics on here. I have other questions about jon boat maintenance/upkeep/fixing things but I will search for an answer first and If I cant find it then I will start a new thread so I don't tangle topics on here. thanks again for everyone's input.

thanks again for all the info and comments, I'm actually surprised, I really thought it was a no brainer to trade for the older bigger bass boat. I love my 1436 and planned on keeping her for 3 to 5 years then upgrading until this opportunity presented itself. looks like I will be keeping my 1436. I tried to get in on the club/local circuit but I kinda got the run around since I didn't have a boat and would be fishing on someone elses boat, after about two months I decided to buy the 1436 and do the local pond tournaments. I will try again to do the co angler club thing because I think they fish on Saturdays anyway and my tournaments are on sundays. I really wanted to do the co angler so I would have a chance to learn a lot. now I am still learning but its youtube and trial and error, lol.

I live in Delaware I bought the 1436 off of a guy in PA, the river I would want to fish would be the Delaware river and Nanticoke river. not sure on depth, never been out there, I'm sure someone on here knows that. I do know the current rips like crazy here in de.

thanks for the reply and info boss. I just pond fish but I really wanna start river fishin and doing some tourneys on the river. but there is no way on my 1436 lol. nice set up by the way!

hey I'm new on here, and relatively new to bass fishing, at least serious bass fishing. anyway I just bought a tracker jon boat 1436 that is hooked up pretty good with gps/side scanner/depth finder, shallow anchor stick it, 35 trolling motor, 2.5 merc, decked floors, agm battery and battery box , trailer, and a few other things, all in all I have 3200 in her and everything is 2014 or newer on her, and If I would have bought everything new on it myself it would have been around 4,000. I have a guy that may be willing to trade a 1988 fs 1800 bass tracker fiberglass hull with a 150 merc, jack plate, hot foot pedal, two fish finders, and a 75 trolling motor on her. he wanted 3500 for it or a trade of a smaller jon boat. mine is a little smaller then he was looking for but still might be willing to trade. assuming that when I have his boat looked at by my mechanic and everything checks out, would you do this trade? I am going to try and post pics of both boats on here is I can. thanks. I cant find much info on the fs 1800, I have tried. I am just leery of a boat that is 29 years old. I don't want it to become a money pit. I am tourney fishing local small ponds currently with my 1436 and I know its going to last me years with little to no maintenance. any additional info on the fs 1800 would be greatly appreciated. thanks. here's a few more pics of fs 1800.
