Where's the boat Rick???!!??

[SFL BassHunter]

Got home around 7pm with my new Jon Boat! She is ready to go in the water. Nothing needs to be done to her.
A few things I want to do to her:

-Give her a nice camo paint job
-Add a few support beams on the front deck. Easy enough, just unscrew 4 screws to get to it.
-Add a bigger livewell later on if I decide to join a bass club.

Thats it! I'm sure I will think of more things eventually.

[SFL BassHunter]

Oh and my precious mustang had no issues pulling her.

[Capt. BassinLou]

Congrats Rick!! Like I told you earlier, this is a game changer for your fishing.

[West6550]

Looks like a great little boat! Very very similar to mine. I have a 15' Alumacraft "superhawk" with a 40hp Johnson.

NO NO NO NO Rick don't paint her. She looks good in white.....I dub her the SS White Lightning.


How can you deny fate Rick. She is stuck white.

Now all you need is a rebel flag and a fifth of hooch

So far just BBK Varitune Exhaust, Backup cam, nav and LCD screen for the radio.

Shes kind of a light beige lol. I dont mind the color but I would want to match the console with the boat lol.

Thanks Lou!

Thanks West! I ran into a nice Polar Kraft MV1675 in a lot on my way there by Okeechobee. Great price but that boat weighs way to much for me to tow. I was sad. lol

Hmm, no rebel flag lol.

[MCS]

Rick wouldn't it be less work to paint the console to match the boat versus painting a boat to match the console?

[SFL BassHunter]

I was going to just paint all of it to match each other in a different color lol. Also getting rid of some scratched paint, throughout to make it new. but yes if I wanted to go the cheaper route that would be my next option. Now matching the color may be easier said than done.

[Pferox]

That is a nice boat, Rick, no matter what color it is.

Thanks Pferox!

Just a head's up I am back in town. The R&R was much needed.

[West6550]

Classic video Rick lol we used to do that at karaoke a few years back lol

I'd go with a gray or lighter color personally. My boat is black and shows any imperfection. Plus lighter color stays cooler in the sun. Just a thought.  I painted my first Jon boat dark green and it was hot to the touch in the sun.

I love that video. Most of their stuff is awesome.

I'm going to start fishing again this coming week. My back is feeling better.

Hey Rick, you might want to think about recessing the TM peddle.  It makes it much easier to keep your ballance when you are standing and pitching.  It is easy enough to do with a wooden box.

[Deadeye]

We had a great relaxing weekend. Both of us needed it for sure. Didn't catch any fish but don't really care. It was more about just getting away than anything else.

We plan to go fish some tomorrow anyway.

I'll have to look online on how to do that.  To be honest i may take that seat out of there and put it on the bottom deck to have the bench as a foot rest and give me more space up front. Ill have to see. I would like to stand where the seat is or right behind it. And maybe get a longer pole for it with more thickness to hold my weight better.
