Are riveted jon boats okay?
leaking rivets are not a big deal. You can reset and tighten them (anvil of
some sort on one side, hammer and flat point punch on the other).

Why Dual Gas Tanks
I've had really bad luck with selector valves, i.e. three different ones
that died within 20 or so uses.
Seems like they're prone to leakage between the two inlet ports, so if one
tank is empty,...

Killing bass?
Depends on the body of water.
Some small to medium lakes often need to have certain sizes (usually small)

Some private lakes may have such...

The Color Red
when red is filtered out, you will have black or a shade of grey.
depending on ambient light, etc. the object would look light or dark, like
seeing it on a b&w TV.

Jon boat tracking
with a boat that small, you will have to sit further back.
To do that, you probably will need to get a troller with electric foot
controls instead of cables.

I think that was called Arpanet, or something like that.
I don't think computer systems from back then are very relevant to "casual"
