NEW RIDE

Very nice ride my friend :thumb: Between being able to sleep on it and drinking hudy, the cost savings should be justified. ;)

It'll get wet tomorrow. Two days after picking it up the wife and I went to Myrtle Beach for our anniversary. We just got home a little bit ago. It was hard to go away knowing I had a new toy at home.
We did have a nice dinner with Keith and Ashley while we were down there.

Nice seeing you. Dinner was pretty good. Ashley took her mom back the next night and I stayed home and drank Hudy D. I think it wins for the worst piss beer and I drink alot of piss beer.:bigthumb:
Have fun on the new boat and see you next time around.
 
Glad you didn't hate the Hudy. :cheers:

Jeff I wish we could come to LC but time and $$ prevent it. I'm heading out shortly to cut a few yards then cleaning up and headed to the river.

No problem. Hope you can get down here before you have to put her to sleep for the season. 😎
 
Now that sounds like a much better way to spend a beautiful, sunny , Midwest September Saturday. The lawn will always be there.:thumb:Jim
 
It was a good run. Boat ran great but water was rough and the wife was very nervous. Her first time backing the trailer in when we got there had her in a little bit of a panic. She did good and had a little difficulty backing down to get me out but stuck with it and got the job done. The ramp we used was crap, steep and narrow. The harbor area read 1.4-2' depth and the channel ranged from 4-6'. We will not be returning there. I was happy with the boat, it's a strong runner, planes quickly just need to tab below 40 due to porpoise. I ran above it most of the time and the fuel gauge showed it. We only took a couple photos that aren't very exciting and I can't share from iPad so unless I figure that out it'll wait until tomorrow. Hopefully going back out later today.
 
Here's the couple pics that were taken. The wife took all but 1 of them.
