Not as of yet. Shortly after I bought the boat covid almost killed me. I lived (clearly) but the hospital stay weakened me (muscle atrophy) so much that it has taken me until recently just to get up and about like normal again.
I did pick up a 8hp honda for trolling/kicker on Christmas Eve to go with the 40hp main.
Anyway, I just booked a site for the end of June at crooked river campground at billy chinook. I haven't fished for kokanee before so that should be fun. I welcome tips and tricks (I have read that we should get tribal permits for the Metolius arm of billy chinook). I also picked up up some Paulina Peaks dodgers and hoochies.
I'm currently looking at downriggers and fish finders.

Not a very happy story.
It looks like the older we get the harder life tests us for strength.

Well, this is turning into far bigger of a project than I anticipated. Floor was pretty rotted but you couldn't tell because it was sitting on foam. Foam is waterlogged and needs to come out.
Started messing with a DA polisher.
Previous owner replaced sections of the floor but took the easy way and didn't pull the benches or factory foam from 1990.
Foam is deceptive. 1/4" at the top is wet but then seems dry, but if you cut it out the bottom 2" or 3" is a sponge.
