    Center console boat takes up too much room in the boat.
    Who wants to stand most of the time.
    Let me sit down behind a console on the right hand side.
    Folks in saltwater use em to hide behind........ And still git wet.

    Got a 21' Gambler Bass Boat,
    Welcome to Gambler Bass Boats

    fished club and some money tournaments for years.
    I can walk all over my boat. And it will handle pretty big size waves.

    Work on boats everyday on the lake I live on with a certified boat mechanic.
    Everything from inboards, to outboards. Center console to aluminum boats to ski boats.
    Been in a boat most of my life Redneck.


    Got 2 buddies that are offshore guides and one that is a Bay guide.
    My cousin in Panama City Beach , Florida has a Boat repair shop too.

    I used to be a Natl Manager and traveled throughout North America, Puerto Rico plus other places (sounds bigger than pay check!) Many of our sales people fished so I have been fortunate to have fished off of Ranger, Nitro, Skeeter, Legend, Parker, Everglades, Scout, Pathfinder on and on boats in places such as Ley Lake, Lake Norman, Mobile Bay & Feeder Creeks, Stick Marsh, Canyon and Roosevelt Lakes, The Keys, Puerto Rico, Panama City, Gulf Shores, Pennsicola, Vero Beach on and on. I was very bless'd. I love 'em all. I love Largemouth, Smallmouth and especially Spotted Bass. Stripers are my mainstay here on Long Island as well as a short Tuna season. I hold a US Coast Guard 6 Pack Captain for when I aspired to be a Light Tackle/Fly Fish Guide. I also hold a NY Guide Liscence for the Trout Guiding I used to do in the famous trout rivers in NY.
    Many of my buddies are famous Fly Tiers. I used to live and breathe fishing. I used to surprise the bass guys at how well I can through a bait caster with a 1/8th oz lure on it. I hate trolling and throwing bait and lead.
    I really miss the traveling and fishing.
    You love fishing and biking = you must be a good guy in my book!

    but that said.............if ya wanted to walk around it today, you would have to unbolt the vise, get rid of the old wood and nails, gather up tools, and about a week worth of cleaning..........it does make a rather nice and unique workbench tho.............
