Family fun "new boat"

[Duck-Slayer]

Took the "brand new" boat out on Sat., picked it up Fri, very sweet ride, it was blowing rather good and decent wave's and the boat cruised perfectly at 35mph with no problem's, topped it out at 55mph and still had 1/4 throttle too go, but my wife was squirrelly in her seat and I had the full cover on which I was told not too go over 50 mph with...... but anyhow too the fishing, we only seriously fished for maybe 2 hrs, played with all the new boats accessories most of the day, we managed 28 perch, my daughter was the lucky one, she caught the first fish in new boat and last fish of the day in the new boat! was a great time.

Looks like a great time with the family!

That's what I should be doing...fall fishing.

Nice boat!

If you ever get bored or drag that boat over to SE Wyoming...I know some places to fill the live wells with walleye.

What brand is that boat? As soon as the kids are out of college (or I if/when I can afford one) I want to buy a newer bigger boat.

I just may do that..... do you guys have the mercury warning level's on those fish like they do here in Idaho?

awesome, it's a I-pilot 112 thrust... I love the anchor button..... can't turn it as fast as the cable that I had on the old boat but it will work fine i'm sure....

SeaArk procat 200 w/ the added pods on the rear, Mercury 200 on it with both prop and jet pump, has a 4 blade stainless 21 pitch prop.... awesome boat I love it the one time i've gotten too take it out, this is my 4th boat and I think I got everything perfect on it, took 5 months too get it and it still has a couple things that are left too do but it's awesome so far,

Sweet prop and jet! Do you a hydraulic jackplate?

 

[Duck-Slayer]

no, just a 5" bay kit, or I would have had too have a small plate welded on the back too keep the splash down and would have not gone over well with the wife, it would look "retarded"....

That's going to be a sweet setup. I've wanted something similar for my tin can.

..almost bought one of Johnny Morris's Bass Trackers but found a Tahoe 225 CC at the last minute. Both sound dual purpose recreation crafts. Haven't owned an outboard in a long time...the new ones are very user friendly and efficient.
