When you get home, have the motor check out, you should have the heads and impeller checked. Nice Rig and hope you have a good time with it.

Ah, I just thought of one thing I am not enjoying about this boat.......

My old boat cost about $40 to fill up the fuel tank, but this new one cost me $250 to fill up  :shocking: :shocking: :shocking: lo  and the 2 stroke oil coats $50 per gallon  :o

What have I got myself into  ~roflmao

Easy solution to that Steve,  You just have to finish in the money in all of the tournaments you fish ;) Jim

I had a boat engineer test run the boat yesterday and he says everything with the motor is fine  ~c~ ~c~

Not sure if anyone noticed, but the old States numbers on my boat are.....

Is this an LA boat number?

It looks like it to me.  That decal next to the lettering is it the shape of the state of LA?

Awesome boat and congrats I think it's awesome that it was from here in Louisiana!

A little update......

I just got done ordering a new 8' Powerpole Blade from Rich at Hydrilla Gear. It will take a few weeks to get here, but I am already excited about this new addition  ;D

The next new toy will be a HDS-5 to link up nicely with my HDS-8 and structure scan  :)

Hopefully by that same time I will have saved enough money to buy the second one  :)

That's a great rig , congratulations ! It sure was shocking to me the first time I filled my new boat up and it took twice as much gas as my truck ! I wish I would have gotten into fishing while I was over there instead of OB :)
