[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3761448, member: 35036"] So, I won't be able to take out my new toy for a few weeks, due to responsibilities around the house, and an impending cross country trip. But, thankfully I have been told that after a 2 week vacation living in a 21ft travel trailer together, that I'll be [B]required[/B] to get out of the house for a few days and go hunting/fishing upon our return. I'm not religious or anything, but God bless this woman. I found myself a real keeper. So I figure I'll take the boat out for a half day or so when we first get back, before my trip. Use it as a time to play with the finders, Get a feel for the boat/motor, practice loading/unloading a few times. Make sure there isn't any issues or problems I need to attend to before taking my 5-7day trip. Probably go out to shawnee twin lakes, the girlfriends dad has a house on the lake, suggested I take the boat out so we can play with it. He's more of a skiing kinda guy, and is disappointed that my 9.9 horse won't work well for pulling him up on skis. But, he's grown up on boats, and I figure he can help with some pointers. My thought for the trip are to try out some smaller bodies of water, maybe go out and try a river. Near me the Canadian and deep fork are more or less just drainage ditches unless they're flooding and have trees floating down them. I was thinking of trying out the Arkansas and or Canadian rivers between Weber Falls/Eufala and RS Kerr Lake, ? Jon Boats are made to be river boats, would this be a good idea? If I stick to the rivers am I going to be fighting much traffic? [/QUOTE]
