Well, got the new boat out

[Toad]

New for me anyway. I totally cleaned my new boat out, put a new rubber mat on the front nose and mounted my terrova 80 and hooked up the depth finder to it, cleaned the carpet, livewells, motor well and shined it all up nice.

Then I took it to Barbee and drove it through the muck, lol. Those lakes are seriously disgusting right now, but at least everything worked out all right on the boat and me and halfpint enjoyed a nice afternoon on the water playing around on the boat. Can't wait to fish it hard here soon, but unfortunately, some people think this is a great time for weddings, so I'm not going to be able to go out for a while. Don't get me started on friggin weddings, cause I can go on and on about selfish people and weddings always happening in may and october. Why don't you just force me to spend the best times of the year sitting inside and appreciating your special day....bah humbug.


Anyway, now that I got myself started and finished, I'm going to post a couple pics of the new boat which will be known as Lilly (as in Toad's Lilly Pad) and if you happen to see me out there sometime, give me a shout out.

(And now you can't make fun of me anymore Routt, so I hope you enjoyed yourself for the past couple years....)

Me stop making fun of you, never. There'll always be something to joke about.
Nothing but compliments on the new rig, it'll be a great boat for you guys.

Yeah, I didn't think about that PGA, probably should keep some maxi pads in the boat somewhere. Don't want to get blood stains on the carpet, now, do I. Maybe the kind with wings would be good......

So this is a personal grudge that had nothing to do with me being a boatless freak then JOhn? You mean I went out and spent all that money for nothing?!!!

Well bring it on then, I can take whatever you got. Just don't call me Betty and I won't call you Al.

super sweet boat Toady...i love the lay out.
1. Single cousel..great for musky fising
2. HUGE front deck
3. Nice big back deck
4. cool little side deck..i'm sure that's great to cast from and to work a big fish. that side deck actually looks pretty big.
5. looks like it will sit low enough for great Figure 8's.
6. Nice trolling motor
7. it does NOT have Merc!! smart move(oops..was i not supposed to say that??)

super sweet buy..good for you. i read on another post that you lauched without your drain plug!! HA HA HA..i have done that plenty of times....it's always a fun time.."why wont my boat plane out? why is my bildge pumping so much water?"..ha..good times.

So...are you going to mount 60" rails and get some rail mount down easts? or just mount them flush to the gunnels? or say SCREW THE SUCKERS AND TROLLING?? you could get the rails, put the tracks on top the rails and get slides to mount the down east on so you have more versatility..that's the route i would go..
blah blah

Nice Freaking boat dude...i'm next in line for a boat ride...(hell, even catch a fish???) sweet meat and neat

Nice lookin' boat Toad! :thumbsup:

Nice 'n clean.

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