[ewirz]

Here's a pic of my rig from this last weekend. '99 Alumacraft Tourney Pro 175 with a '98 75hp Merc 2 stroke. Absolutley love this boat!web page

[mnfishman]

Here is a picture of my rig that I picked up a two years ago. First boat for me and the family. This is actually the pictures that were taken at the previous owners house. Believe it or not I have not taken any since. Everytime I pull the cover off we are heading out fishing.

[OptiMax]

That Javelin looks AWESOME. How big is the Johnson? Very nice.

[Stratosman]

Here is my rig, she's going bye-bye this coming Friday. Going back to a larger tiller. I wonder if I should change my username?

[Ray Esboldt]

Strat,

Welcome back to the tiller family. We're glad to have you back!

So, what are you going to go with?

[prov1900]

Cool picture. Where was that at?

[Stratosman]

I am looking hard at a '06 tournament pro 175 with a Suzuki 90 four stroke right now, or if I can find a similar Lund or Crestliner, definately a four stroke however. Guess I shouldn't say larger, just not small.

[Ray Esboldt]

I like my 1850 Fish Hawk with a 90 tiller. If you wanted to see one first hand, let me know. I think you're right on with that Suzuki motor. I've heard nothing but good things with those motors from friends. I like my OptiMax so far, but wouldn't hesitate to hold a Suzuki.

Taking a break...

Leaving the lake...

Man do I need to get out on the water

[Stratosman]

Thanks for the offer. My father in-law has a Suzuki and he loves it, she sure purrs nicely too. I think his is a 150 or 125 so bigger, but very nice. I do like the crestliners as well, dad had one but sold it this spring, a 1600 I think, a bit small for what I want to use it for...

Finally got to pick'er up today! Just a couple more pics to share. I'm just so happy.

Eric

I am glad to see your family got your boat.Now,go fill the livewell with a buch of nice fish.

Have fun.

[Matt Johnson]

Nice boat Eric! Are we going to see it at the Fall Fishing Tour on the 14th?

[eyepatrol]

I'm hoping to put a fish or two in there this weekend Tom in order to have a meal. Been a little while since I've eaten fish as my dinner plates have been a little ducky and goosey!

Matt - I'm hopping in with Jamison on the 14th so it'll be staying home. I'm gonna find out if I'm a jinx in his boat or not as the summer get-together we nearly got skunked on the 'eyes. Of course, who knows....maybe he's holding out on me!

[marine_man]

Congrats on the purchase Eric... it looks like a nice rig!

I will add to the list of new boat buyers for '06. I will be filling out the papers for this new toy Friday the 13th. Who ever said Friday the 13th was a bad day? Not me!

[eyepatrol]

Can't be a bad day when you're getting a new rig. Congrats!

Well, okay, things could possibly go wrong so maybe you do want to cross your fingers and toes, bring your lucky rabbit's foot along, etc.

[Juan Grande]

Here's mine, got it in April and I've had a blast all summer long. It's a 2005 17' Lund Explorer SS with a 115 Merc. I upgraded the trolling motor to a 70lb auto-pilot Minnkota and added the Lowrance 332c.

[Matt Johnson]

Nice rig Tommy! Glad to hear everything worked out and you'll be getting the boat. Let me know once you get it and we'll have to meet up and test it out

[tommyk]

Yep, everything is great except the fact that I am not taking it home until next spring At least I have icefishing to take my mind of the new rig over the winter.

[LIGHTLINE]
