Location: Berlin | Any of you guys know if I can fish the championship with a friends boat? I know you have to be the owner for the bonus's but I am not sure if you need to be just to fish it. It would give me something to shoot for. |

| Rich,
Here is from the rules:
From other sanctioned events a minimum of 60 Pro and 60 Co-angler positions will be available. Pro-angler participation is open only to registered Ranger, Crestliner or Lund owners who participate as boaters in sanctioned tournaments. Co-angler participation is open to anyone who participates in sanctioned tournaments. It will be the responsibility of qualifying anglers to submit their application in accordance with the procedures outlined below. In order to be eligible, the Ranger, Crestliner or Lund boat owner must fish out of a Ranger, Crestliner or Lund boat (except for amateurs or co-anglers), be the registered owner of a Ranger, Crestliner or Lund and must have purchased their boat prior to qualifying for the RCL Walleye Championship. Qualification for the RCL Walleye Championship begins August 18, 2003 and ends August 17, 2004. Anglers can fish only one division (Pro or Co-angler) and occupy only one slot. Anglers who register must complete and submit an entry form beginning February 2, 2004 or within 15 days of the qualifying event which contains the following information: Qualifying event and date, place of finish and weight, copy of boat title or bill of sale and current boat registration w/boat and outboard model and year (boat documentation needs to be submitted only once.)
According to this, you cannot use somebody's boat to qualify. If you are a registered owner, and would have a problem, you can borrow a boat to use. Either way, you must be a registered owner. Sorry to bring you bad news.

| If YOU own a qualifying Ranger, Crestliner, or Lund, but it is out of commission, and that is why you're using your friends R,C, or L boat, then I'm pretty sure you can fish it.
But, if you do not own a Ranger, Crestliner, or Lund, you do not qualify to fish it, even though you are fishing out of your friends R,C, or L. You have to be an owner. They DO check paperwork if you are new to the circuit...ie: copy of your title/registration etc.
You DO NOT have to be an original owner to fish them, but you do have to be an owner.
An "original owner" would qualify for the bonus money, whereas "an owner" will not get any bonus monies.
If you need clarification, call Sonny Reynolds at 270-252-1591, and he'll tell you what you can and cannot do.
