Depressed

Tomorrow,
I've got to pull my boat out to get it to the dealer for a problem with my steering (covered under warranty )
But when it's fixed , I'm not sure if i'll just bring it home and call it a year with all the damn nets out there,
or put it back in my slip.

LETS GO BRANDON

Ron,
Look at it this way you got a few extra trips out there

I was a wimp I pulled my boat after that first snow.
my boat needed to be power washed.

Should we start a countdown to spring launch

i think it costs me more with the boat out because I have to much time on my hands to buy fishing goodies.

sweet boat, how does she perform with the ourboard? I have the i/o.

Don't feel bad guys I pulled my boat the second week of October. Fishing was slow so I gave up. Other that being just damn foolish, I was in a rush to get it winterized before the crowds and before the bad weather came. Whan an idiot! Now I look out my window and see the mamoth white shrink wrapped thingy sitting on blocks. The way I look at it, is only 5 more monthly payments until she goes back in the water again.

This is depressing. Anyone have a yardarm I could borrow?

First year with this boat she was great !!!
I went with one mercury 225 EFI
used just over 600 gal.
I think two 4 strokes would be better ?


True story......
There is a guy from this board(that I will not name) that keeps his boat next to me at the slip. Well one day he was doing something on his motor and over he goes
the funny part is he had to use my swim platform and ladder to get out of the water. He likes the ladder

used 4 stroke kicker

I purchased a 15 horse 4 stroke johnson from moni's. I plan to use this most of the time I'm fishing. I hope it cuts my fuel down. At least my hour guage wont be moving to much. I figure you cant go wrong for 500 bucks.


Somebody went swimmng aye. Do you keep your boat in Quincy?

thats why they call it fishing not catching

I keep the boat at Capt. Cove in the Town river.

A kicker is the way to go.
