Lets see the Rigs for 2008!!

[bassNspear]

I know there is alot of people starting to get the boats out and getting ready to hit the water, or might have alreay hit the water. Mine is still on order, which should be coming in in the next few weeks.

But lets see some of the rigs that people have now for 2008.

Still waiting on a cover before the new 1850 Fish Hawk/150 Opti arrives in the garage...the days can't get any longer...

[EricD]

Mine is waiting for rigging at the dealership. I go down on Monday of next week for a walk through and then on the lake the next weekend!

[LEECH21]

Picked mine up last week!!! Its a 2007. Can't wait to get her on the water!

[Musky_Madness]

Looks good Leech! Drooling here just looking at it! How long did your cover take to get?

[bassNspear]

nice rid dude. If im not mistaking, that boat was sitting in my showfloor when you bought it, they tranfered it up there. Or maybe not, theres to many boats to keep track.

Awesome looking rig buddy.

[Bassman55]

I've posted these already but here is my dad and I with his new Z-7.

[bassNspear]

nice rig buddy, have you got it wet yet?

[ricqik]

Not a '08 boat but since I myself have never taken a pic of my boat. Here she is.

[bassNspear]

nice rig man. Beat she moves on the water

[RiverBassGuy]

That 3 hundo v max make the hair on your neck stand up?? I bet she tops out pretty nice! jealousy.....

[ricqik]

I've always wanted a bassboat, so after a long saving, I finally got one. It's a big jump from my old boat, a 14' w/trolling motors only.

She does fly, I've only gotten her up to 79.35gps, that was with an out of the box prop. I'm still dialing in my prop. Once it's just right, low 80's is in the forcast. Oh yeah, I don't go that fast all the time, I mostly go about 50ish, but it's good to know if I need to, it's there.

Edit:

I think it's actually dangerous to go that fast, It's impossible to avoid anything on the water. I feel sorry for those little swallows that always fly low just above the water. Killed 2 already.

[idratherbefishing]

80 mph across the water?!?!?!? that must be a rush.

[bassNspear]

thats awesome. Mine wont go that fast, but it will go fast enough with the 200 optimax on a 20 footer.

[Sandmannd]

That's fast to be skippin over the water. I've only got my boat up to about 35/40 and that seems fast on the water. Twice that is unbelievable. Have fun with the new toy, that's a nice leap from what you had.

[Bassman55]

Haven't got the Z-7 on the water yet, this ice has to melt sometime. It is killing my dad to see it in the garage every night. I'm in at college so I don't see it much, until the water opens up.

[bassNspear]

you need to get that baby in the water and get her broke in.

[LEECH21]

The cover took about two weeks for them to get in. Looks great! The Crestliner style cover, that just slide into the groves, are the way to go! Barely no snaps.

The boat was shipped down from Duluth I think they said.

[Musky_Madness]

CPM called today and said that Crestliner dropped the ball and lost the order for the cover so it will be 4-6 weeks now until it comes in...so the boat should be in the garage by Friday to start getting it ready for fishing season

[Musky_Madness]

PS I'll put some pics up once its at in possession

[rodmaker]

Hopefully I can add to this in a few weeks. Going to look at a YarCraft 1895 Storm with Merc 135 OptiMax tiller hopefully next week. The guy is taking it out of storage this weekend. You have mail from a day or so

that stuff happens. theres not much you can do about it.

[Musky_Madness]

no big deal...it sits in the garage anyways...and with all the ran today, it won't be home till next week. Didn't care to haul it home and get dirty and wet and try and dry it out...next week there will be pics

[LEECH21]

Bass N Spear, got a question for ya.

Is there supposed to be a cap or something that covers the hole where the pedestal seat is supposed to be on the front deck? (I have all three seats to the back) I can see into my front storage locker from the opening. Just curious because if it would rain while on the lake the items in the storage space would get wet.

Thanks

[bassNspear]

I believe there should be. What i can do for you is check when i get to work tommorrow to make sure that is the case. Shoot me a email to remind me.
