For a number of years I've been able to support my habbit doing 1 lawn a week @ 35 bucks I know it doesn't sound like much but thats a tank of fishing gas. This year its going up to $40 but if it goes to 4$ a gal. I'll get another lawn at 25 or 30$. I'm not going to stop doing what I luv to do when I know that a little time and sweat gets me what I want.
I run 115 and fish 90% of the time alone, theres no pressure and I'm enjoying being at ease fish or no fish...one of the reasons I bought the boat. Bill, I considered the keylargo's too. At the time GB owned my boat, it had all the features I was looking for in a bay boat. Livewell and closed transom for power drifting was high on my list. I think the seaswirls boats feel bigger and stronger then most boats of their simular size. You mentioned the gas needle, not sure on all boats but when shes full it takes a while for that first fuel reading then all of a sudden 1/2 to 1/8 tank in 5 miles.....Shut up Clammer.

oops! I could be on empty and not know it? Glad you mentioned that, I will have to keep a close eye on that.Clammer said your boat is sweet! I Just asked around from people I trust and everyone kept on pointing me to the key largo's for value, at the boat shows I could not find one in the price range with the same features, acually not even close. The other boat I was considering was a Maritime skiff 16 but man, it was a strippy, they give you nothing!, no live well, no storage, no cooler seat etc.. the key has all that. Time will tell but so far I like it, I wont be chasing tuna in it, its to small but for what I do its perfect. Nice and tight with eels! Cant wait!
