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.

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. \:\(

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
