I can verify the wind and it sure was cold enough a few hours ago when Clammer and I splashed his new boat and took out the old one :eek5: . Ran into a few people in the process including Gary Corsetti - all had nice things to say about the rig :D . Maybe we'll have some pics later.

One of the nicest tops I've ever seen was custom made for his boat. It's a stubby top that does not extend far aft to get in the way of casting. Plenty of comfortable hand holds and a nice fabric enclosure that buttons up the top nice! Sweet boat. Good lcuk with her Mike!

JOhnr Thanks for the help, I,m pleased ,few tweeks and she,ll be DONE
I was very pleased with the ride in that chop, it didn,t bother it at all, plus the get up out of the hole is great ==with no trim tabs/// I thought it was pretty try considering the wind

Now bring on the fish //////////

:D :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

Mike glad to hear you finaly got it wet:eek: no not that the boat. How did you like that 150 HPDI? At the Prov. show they all said to get the HPDI and not the four stroke as it gets as good gas mileage and runs almost as quiet but still has the get up and go of the 2 stroke. I can troll it down to 1 knt. and she still runs as smooth as silk. Good luck with her .


Ps will you winterize or not?????

Here it is. Mrs Clammer just e-mailed me the pic... I hope that's not the bird he's giving me when I took it :laughs:

winterize by use
never winterized one in my life//

when we at the launch ramp/ some friends came in from duck hunting & was compaining about his Mercury 4 stroke not wanting to start ==when cold == same thing is happening at my dock with the guys with the suzuki,s///

THe motor ran well ,quiet, considering double oil, and of course we followed the proper breakin procedure we slowed down at 35 knots//




:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

Nice rig Clamdigger!

You must be part eskimo to ride in that thing all winter. :smash:

-WW the wimp

Looks sweet Mike, winterize by use, I like that:). A man after my own heart, winter just means it's colder.

Thanks guys,
winter ,its just weather ==but different//////////

WW you get use to it , to tell the truth I wasn,t cold today
but I wouldn,t go swimming either//

:laughs: :laughs: :laughs: :laughs:

Very Nice Mike!!! Good Luck with her!!1:happy: :happy: :D

Nice boat Mike. congrats hope she performs the way you like it.

very sweet mike. does she have a name???

Mike she looks sweeeeeeeeeet I know you will have many happy hours together. The reason I asked about winterizing is I aways used my boats into the winter and never found the need to winterize do to the fact that they always got run every few weeks but this year I have not been out since Thanksgiven but have turned her over or run her every other week and the guys at Don's said as long as it gets turned over with oil going into the cylinders there is no need to .

CLAMMIE.......nice glass u got there,,,,don't get no hog juice on her. but bassie juice just makes her shine .:D

Congratulations MIKE.......looks like they did a beautiful job. Best of luck and many years of boating. Hell of a boat for a hell of a guy!! :kewl:

Cape need the hogs for gas money
