In May of this year ('08) I finally took the plunge and become a boat owner. I bought a "new" 2001 used Logic 150 SC that was advertised in the classifieds section of this web site. I have always enjoyed fishing and boating with friends who had boats, and figured that it was about time - I am 62 years young!
I have learned a ton of useful facts from reading the various forums, and tonight I actually pulled the bilge pump, cleaned the screen and debris around the base of the pump and managed to get it back into where it came from. I have also added some Scotty Rod holders for trolling and a vertical 3 rod holder to the side of the console. Drilling holes in a boat does not seem like the smartest thing to do, but from looking at the Mods forums and pictures, it seems like the thing to do. I was able to get seat cushions for the two Todd Seats as well as the bait well seat cushion from Merritt marine. The folks there are great to work with, just like I was reading from other posts. Luckily, I got the last bait well cushion they had in stock for this model boat. I believe that I am the third owner and it is obvious the boat has had a lot of TLC. I keep it in the garage, and the previous owner did the same. Unfortunately one of the previous owners painted the bottom, not sure why, now all I have to do is figure out how to get the paint off that hasn't already started to wear off. I was figuring on breaking out the power washer, but was afraid that I would end up with a boat that looks like a Dalmatian.
I fish mainly in PA in the lower Susquehanna river, but I do my catching in Canada in the Lower Rideau Lake at Rideau Ferry, ON. Unfortunately, finances and grandfatherly duties only allow for a one week trip each year. The rest of the time I will be satisfied to go fishing, I mean boating in the Susquehanna!
Anyone out there with any helpful advice about the care and upkeep of Logic boats please feel free to toss some my way
