Here is a little un-edited video shot by Ron Milam, who was sitting in the backseat of the ol’ Pavati a few days back as we ran some white stuff on the Klamath River. Despite Dale Milam’s screams (kids, put your earmuffs on), no anglers were hurt in the filming of this video…

The last boat you’ll ever need…$10!

August 7, 2009 By JD Leave a Comment


Do you buy a jet or a prop? For many of us, that’s a subject worthy of great debate. Well, ponder no longer! This new 21-foot hottie from Fish Rite is the answer…and the best part of the deal is: you can have it for $10!

According to Jamie Dorsey of Fish Rite Boats, the boat can be changed from prop to jet or vise-versa in about a half hour once you get the hang of it.
