propster Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Here are a couple pics of the new rig. I came home from work yesterday and the kid is out there sitting in the boat with the stereo going doing his homework! The light is not good so you can't tell too well, but it's forest green with gold sparkles. Too good for us, but I figure it's worth at least anothe 1/2 dozen fish in the boat this year.

MUSKY18 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Nice rig Propster! Hope it fishes great and brings you lots of fun times. Won't be long before you come home from work and the boat will be gone, as the boy has it out on the lake already!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porterhouse Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Nice ride. She looks like she is ready for some slime time!!!!Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanson Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 REAL nice boat man!! I'm not quite in the market for a new ride yet but thats exactly what I've been looking at... a late 90s 690vs or 692vs. There are some beauties out there! Next purchase is going to be a house and I keep telling 'cjac' that I'm finding more nice boats for sale in my house search than I am houses. Guess its a priority thing.

propster Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 10,000 - it's a '95, but in pretty good shape. And a price I could afford. I see boats in general are comin' down in price - I saw I think a '97 or '99 in the Tribune loaded for a little more than this one, I think maybe $12,500 or something. Can't wait to slime it up.

10,000 Casts Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Someone poster on here a while a ago "I never get sick of looking at a Ranger" very true. Crystal Peirz had a 96 champion 20 footer whith a 96 200hp merc and they wanted 15k. I called on it and was a little shocked when the salesman told me the price. A week later it was gone...

propster Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Had her out on the maiden voyage this weekend...oooohhhI think we got somethin' here. And even though it was windy as heck the kid ran it right up there on the trailer no problem. You guys were all right on - bunks are the way to go.

Musky_Madness Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Bunks are the way to go! Everytime you put her on no matter the weather condition, it's always right on! Never have to back in again, readjust it, or worry about it sliding off prematurely. Plus it's faster than rollers when loading and speeds up the accesses on weekends.

cjac Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Glad to hear the maiden voyage went well! I spent the last few nights working on a hull maintenance (dock rash and a head-butt with a dock post....don't ask) and was noticing all the little nicks and marks on the underside from the rollers as well. I quit looking after a bit.....Bunks next time for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugoBox Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Keith - Nice rig. I'm looking forward to taking a spin. Also it was good to fish "with" you and the boy opening day. I wish we could have found a few more eyes.We'll have to hook up once the real season starts.Take care.erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
