Picking up the new boat tonight. Now I'm the owner of 2 boats. :wink:

And so it begins

BEWARE - it is a downward spiral - more boats more boats more boats

Thanks guys....I'm lucky to have a wife that allows me these toys. I'm working feverishly to get this boat ready for being on the water first thing on Friday. Last night I was able to get my OB charger and rear Electronics installed. Need a few parts to finish the front tonight. Hopefully I can get it registered and licensed today at lunch. Been in touch with Bulldog to get #s on the side, but I don't know that I'm giving him enough time to help me out. My fault with timing. When I have some time, I'll post up a new topic with pics and details.

Captain and Popeye......you made me laugh. :LOL2:

Weather calls for 60's,cloudy, 50% chance of rain, with steady 15-25 mph winds gusting to 50mph. We set up a fishing trip for this afternoon and it was such a pain with scheduling, I don't want to cancel.

Think we'll still catch anything?

Use dynamite for bait and I'm sure you'll catch lots. :LOL2:

Caught some good pike, hooked a couple of bass but didn't land them. Waiting for pictures from the guy who was in the boat. Infortunately, he didn't land one fish The wind was BAD, my troller was on max speed most of the evening and sometimes couldn't hold us against the wind. Really glad I put 2 batteries on the troller a few weeks back. One would have been dead in the first 1.5 hours.

That messy weather day last week when we went fishing, afterwards I parked the boat in the rain, said goodby to the fishing partner and went inside. Yesterday I went out to recharge the batteries and noticed my fishfinder mount sticking up in the air. It's on a ram mount and I normally fold that down so the plugs aren't exposed to rain. Now when we were done fishing after dark, I didn't pack the gear up, they other guy did, and it was his first time fishing with me. He packed everything while I got the car from 1/4 mile away in the rain. So I didn't even think of the fishfinder, until I saw the empty mount there a week later. My $900 finder was gone. I frantically searched the boat and turned up nothing. Since I live next to a public walking trail and 20 feet from a park, I was certain someone had snagged it. Talk about being depressed - my only consolation was that the season is almost over and I might get another for Christmas. So I sat down and said a prayer, and looked through the boat for the 3rd time. Oh glorious moment when I found it crammed in with all the tools! A slightly scratched up fishfinder is WAY better than no finder at all!

Will,
Glad you found your Humminbird. Seriously thinking about upgrading to a SI unit next spring. Have to see what's up with my boat though first.

Latest news is that I signed the transportation/evaluation release form. Basically that allows then to transport the boat to Lebanon, MO for inspection and repairs. Service Center guy said they may offer me the trade in value if I buy a new Tracker boat. Can't see me being able to do that as I still owe a decent chunk of money on this one and don't really want to incur even more debt at this time.

No worries - You can always come to PA and I will let you use my boat any time.

You will have to wear something plaid
