kosterguide Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 just got my boat out today and started preping it for a trip to the river, the boat is new and i cant figure out why when i turn the pump for the live well on the bilge pump turns on, and when i turn on the bilge pump the bait well turns on and when i turn on the bait well nothing happens, looks like i am going straight to the dealer. kinda disaponting wanted to fish mid next week hopefully they can have it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.W.Wolfram Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Raised on bass fishing…..found cat fishing…...never went back. Can’t seam to give up the moving water, and I don’t miss the rec boaters. 65mph in a bass boat…….I think I will keep my 46mph (in 4” of water). Rough around the edges. OK…..you got me, but at least I don’t fish for bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRH Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks guys, My wife was with me so I didnt have to worry about the permission part. She want's it as much as I do, well almost as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricD Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I got a new one last year. I used it a lot but I haven't put it in the Red River yet. This year maybe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wish-I-Were-Fishn Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I plan on buying a boat this summer...I would do it now but the savings needs to be used for a down payment on a home. For all this to come together I need to find a permanent job first. My job is done in May unless I get offered a permanent position, which is probably less than a 50/50 chance. Get the boat before you lose the job. It will give you lots more time on the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregg52 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 plus if u get it before the job goes away you will be albe to get a loan no job no loan i didnt do it on purpose but thats what happen to 38k for new boat 3 weeks later job its been tuff but i did get alot of time in it last summer lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walleyewild Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Just waiting to pick up my 2008 1825 Lund Explorer with a Merc 135 opti, 70# minnkota on the bow, no electronics on it yet, have an lcx 25c for the council and 337 for the bow. It is new on the showroom floor. I am getting my big water boat finally. But I think that I'll miss my 16' explorer a little, that boat has been on some big water in the past and great for the smaller lakes, but I won't be tired of getting wet and beat up running across the lake in a heavy chop.
