Howdy! Mike here from hudson wi. I have a 72 GT 140, just purchased a couple weeks ago from my neighbor nick ( search old posts here as he loaded a bunch of pics in 08' when he purchased it)
I live a couple hundred yards from the Croix near the ferry landing. I've been fishing and recreating on this river for 30 plus years, including quite a few years guiding out here. I'm a bit of a boat junkie, my other boat is a Towee skiff, TN made flat bottom with a 15 Merc mounted on a panther fixed jackplate. Runs about 25 with 2 guys and gear, in 6" of water. Will eventually add a 25 jet for shallow water muskie fishing.
We love the 140, despite its diminutive size, runs great on the river, turns heads everywhere we go and gets me and the gal out to enjoy the water, she's not too interested do in fishing but digs boat rides. Looking forward to seeing some other old boats out, if anyone has any questions about the river, or access, beaches etc don't hesitate to ask!
