OK, before anyone comes in here and sees the friendly dogfight and mistakes it for real emotion, OR before somebody goes too far, lets put it to rest. It was fun! But with recent events with Ben, and now me, I find myself having to worry about serious issues and kind of look to this site as a haven to come and relax and get energized by the support of our little disfunctional "family"! The bottom line is WHATEVER boat you can afford, that meets your needs, whether it's tin or glass, Nitro or Ranger, new or old......it's the right boat for you right now! I have fished from both and each have their attributes and flaws. If they ever make a 20' Avalanche and figure out how to make sparkles stick to it, AND give me a WARRANTY, I might just drive tin again. Who knows. Anyway, time to move on to other fun arguments like spinning or baitcasting?????? Hmmmmm which is best? OR SM or LM or spots, which has the most fight? And for those who followed our banter, it was all in fun, now personal harm was intended or received. Trep and Mo, and Rich are all great guys, a little dillusional at times but great members of the site. Those of us in the north have an entire winter to endure the effects of dat durn fever so lets not get started prematurely! LOL I NEED my sanity for ONE more month!
