My first boat was an aluminum 12ft Grumman deep V with a 7 1/2hp tiller. 30 years later and I still have her and the 7 1/2 both in great shape.

My biggest Lesson Learned last year. Check your gas tank brackets and battery hold downs! I'm sure others have theirs mounted a different way? Check your tank for any movement when tank is empty or low. Mine was held down with the L shaped brackets screwed to the plywood floor and the sides of the tank. I remounted this in the spring and never gave it a second thought of checking before my Iowa trip. It was a costly mistake! On day 2 of the classic I found a boat full of gas which ended my day. The screws in the bracket worked loose from the tank. Guessing from all the potholes in Pa and ruff water through out the year. It wore/cracked the steel tank from the 1/4-1/2 movement on the one side. My boat batteries I check for movement every time I recharge just never thought about the gas tank. Just glad I wasn't on the water or out in the middle of Lake Erie when it decided to drain. Hope this saves someone the hassle of trying to find a repair shop or replacement when you need it the most.

I check my eyelets and plastic inserts on my rods a couple times a year to every usage. Eyelets, I like to make sure the eyes didn't get bent,twisted or cracked from traveling to and from fishing before casting out. The inserts, Because I use braid with heavy weights I like to check for abrasion or ruff spots. The easiest way I know of to check this is push a cotton swab through them and the fibers will stick if something is wrong. The smaller eye's I use a cotton swab same thing if something isn't smooth some of the fibers will get caught. I like to do this every month or so but probably should do it after every trip! After all 1 bad eye could ruin a lot of line or cost you a big fish!

Check around on craigslist should be some good deals this time of year. Personally I think a canoe would be much easier to carry. Allot easyier to drag or roll it with bicycle wheels ex specially through any woods or terrain.
