Re: This hurts me to see this.
Otto/Five Boat Theory: Thanks for the welcome. I’m a little embarrassed in that I should have been able to put the Hi-Liner together with Ray Hunt, living where I have all of my life.
I’m an avid fly fisherman and currently fish out of a 17’ Parker with a 70HP Suzuki 4S. It’s a commercial hull that the original owner set up with a coffin type box located just forward of amidships. Tiller steering, and, aside from the box, the only other think attached to the sole is a custom SS “chicken stick” affair (something to hold on to) that doubles as a place for my compass and hand held GPS.
Even though we have a relatively short season up here, my legs have been getting tired, and I’ve been thinking about adding a center console to the Parker, or trading up to a SeaCraft. I’ve known about SeaCrafts for many years, and a few years ago I became acquainted with another fisherman in the area that fishes out of a Potter 20 (1973, I think). To round this out, last Saturday, I had the pleasure of looking at a 23 with Ed Mancici.
