You may well remember the Blue Fin V-bottom in this photo from the first blog post I did on it back on July 11, 2014. In case you don't remember, the boat originally had belonged to Will's granddad and had been in the possession of his dad, Jim Bauer, since the passing of his granddad many years earlier.
Will completely gutted the original boat and rebuilt it in his free time. The re-do also included getting the boat's Evinrude outboard running in tip-top shape. As I learned just this week, though, additional work on the "JennyB" has been completed here recently.
Among the improvements are brand new pedestal seats fore and aft and a new foot-controlled trolling motor. "No more paddling for me," said Will, who, as I understand it, also has installed a new fuse panel.
Until this point in time, Will and Jenny have pretty well limited their fishing trips to minnow dunking, but as Will told his dad the other day, "Reckon now I'll have to show Jenny how to use some crankbaits and worms."
"Tight Lines!" to both of you this season.
