Well, got the new boat out

[MACK]

Nice lookin' boat Toad! :thumbsup:

Nice 'n clean.

Welcome to the joys and expenses of boat ownership. It's kinda like homeownership.

Thanks guys, it sure is nice to have one of my own finally. I don't know how I'm going to mount the rod holders yet, Tomkat, but I'll figure it out eventually. We definitely need to hit the water though, I think I owe you a few trips out. When is the next hurricane?

It sure is nice though Tomkat, knowing that I have autopilot right away.

ha ha ha..you got me...that's a good one.. ..FOR THE RECORD, i did not order auto pilot...i ordered a 80 pound PD with Universal Sonar,not an 80 pound PD with AP (auto pilot)...hhmm.." i wonder what this button is for? why does it say auto pilot here?"

yea...as soon as i see a hurrican making it to land or a typhoon, i'll give ya a call. i'm not fishing with you unless is MINIMUM 30 MPH winds, gusts up to 40 and constant rain and or sleet.

Don't forget, we need to bunk at the best meth hotel we can find. One that has been upgraded so that it has at least 12 or more tv channels.

Nice boat, Toad! Congratulations!

Well thanks STephendawg...it's been nice to be a genuine boat owner for the past year. I even get to tell halfpint to shape up or swim now instead of the other way around, lol. We have more room to fish though so we have to yell louder at each other to make ourselves heard. But we were up to these new challenges. I still like to get out in Halfpints nymph though, it still is a great boat and we still have caught more fish out of it than mine. Wonder if it's because we tend to stick on spots longer because it takes time to move to other spots. Probably. Or maybe it's because Halfpint is better at boat control.....no way, what am I thinking, that can't be it. It's the first thing, I'm sure. You been out this spring?

Man that boat is ALL deck! Looks very purposeful, and cool. I just switched from a canoe to a small motor boat, so I feel your joy. Nice boat...

[Rudel]

The more I learn about motor boats, the more I love my canoe!
