Re: Russo's Marina / 100% Bass

Bass Barbarians use to have a 27' patio boat for rent at Lundberg. The last I saw of it was at Lundberg lawn area and not in use. Contact KB - to see if they still have that patio boat and if they are interested in donating it or selling it for conversion to a live release boat.
