Title: Who's got the wrapped boat around here?
Post by: joshimoto son on May 31, 2007, 12:08:20 PM
So my Dad and I are on the Randall chain of lakes last Monday in Coldwater practicing for my club's spring open tx.

As I'm going through one of the no wake zones, I approach a Purolator wrapped Triton all decked out with the BASS stickers and everything.

Now I know it's not Swindle, Monroe or Howell.

I was just wondering if we really have some big sticks floating around, or if someone bought an old program boat.

I see wrapped boats on ebay every couple months.  They sell them with the wraps and say you can just use a heat gun to peel it off.
BTW, is your triton still for sale, I think I saw it on BBC.

It's still on there?

I'm pretty sure that it's been over a year since I put the add in... hmmm
I'll check it out, and no... I sold it to Shaner.

Thanks for the heads up.

That may be Art Ferguson's boat (http://artoffishing.com/) or one he sold to someone locally.  I know he has Marathon as a sponsor.

I thought I read Art was a guide up here on St. Clair and also down in Florida.
For some reason, I thought he was originally from Michigan.

I think it is great that we have the chance to see those rigs around here, if you think about it we are realy lucky.

Yeah Art is a Michigander... he now lives in St. Clair Shores and he guides on the big pond...

He kinda sticks out like a sore thumb out there with the big Marathon wrap... it's a pretty sharp wrap though...

Up here in TC we get to see them every fall for the last few years. Great Wolf Lodge puts on a weekend fishing event with 50 pros from Bass , FLW , and various other trails.   It's kinda cool to runn into guys like KVD and Swindle on the local lakes or out on the bays.   It's not a bad deal either. Last year it was 1000.00 for 3 days stay at the lodge, food, and 2 days on the water with different pros.  Usually happens the last week in September.
