I just got done fishing the Fly South Carp Tournament (http://flysouth.net/carp-tournament/) throughout the month of July. I probably need to clean it first. 🙂

Mine is a Custom Gheenoe Classic. It is roomier than the Highsider but the Highsider is actually a really nice boat for a small skiff. Custom Gheenoe makes a special heavier nose cap for trolling motor mounting – I would be willing to bet the one fitted for the No Motor Zone model would also fit the Highsider since the specs are pretty much the same.
I just linked the site for the tournament standings – all you can see is a little bit of my boat floor. The rest of the boat is covered in dirt and funk right now though – carp fishing is much, much tougher on boats and gear than trout fishing.

This reminds me of a similar situation I had while fishing with a
Aren’t most outboards made mostly from plastic, cast, and Aluminum?
At 20′ with zero visibility you better be well trained and using scuba if you attempt to find and haul it up. Someone with a high def graph could most likely locate it and get the GPS on it.

Mike is right! In another life I used to dive alot and held a search cert. It’s very dark 20′ down in a river hole. 😕 Hire a recovery company to bring it up or just punt. A motor is a hell of a lot cheaper than a life.
