Getting Closer

Oh man... dealing with a broker sucks, but I'm in the final stretches of finalizing the deal and picking her up.  I found a reputable certified vessel surveyor and marine mechanic to check her out and got the report that the boat was in almost new condition.

I can honestly say, this is the most stoked I have ever been to buy anything except for maybe my 1969 Nova SS with 402 big block back in the day.

I'm in the need to harvest and grocery shop soon!  My freezer is filled with trout and catfish.  That's just not right.

Can't wait to see that thing launch.

Might be able to help with that trout and catfish thing.

Looks like it needs some electronics. Did they give you a list of stuff it needs or is it gas and go ready?

It's ready out of the gate.  I might upgrade a few things here and there though.  I love that there is not a lot of things on the boat to get caught up in while fishing.

You'll need a Bimini top with rod holders for albac.... blue fin trolling.

Bimini tops are the worst to deal with while fishing. Big Mexi hats.

Agreed! They get in the way.

I'll post up pics of the new ride, but I did a solo run straight up to northern California and back again without stopping. 1,200 hectic miles of crazy truckers and detoured freeways.

Need to hit up uncle Bill for some new Rainshadow stickers.
