wuz just trying to learn how to do the picture thing. If it comes up it should be a picture of my boat in which case i guess it should be on another site but i guess i'll let JB figure out where it should go. <br />
If you put that boat in my lake you would have to fill out an environmental impact statement first!! It would raise the water level about two feet!!<br /> <br />LubeDude
Beautiful rig scamper. Gotta cause some of that diesease we got around here....you know....that "enjoyagreatdayonwater" diesease.<br /><br />Just curious....how many pounds thrust on the trolling motor?
LadyFish ff that second engine didnt fire up today, the whole thing would have been a live well.<br />OutboardJim, You had more thrust on you trolling motor before today than I had. Now we have our 680 hp. Back. Pretty good thrust I must say.
Scamper, <br /><br />Real nice boat, but one question. What do ya do with a boat like that?? Do you deep sea fish?? Is it more of a house boat? Is it one of them go fast rigs?? She sure is pretty and looks like she'll move. Looks like there is room in the back for a fighting chair. That'd be a cool rig for going out into the Gulf looking for tuna and the like.
SoulWinner, its not a sport fisherman this is more of a cruising boat. Sea Rays entry in the water at the bow, although the bow looks something like a go fast boat, is a little to blunt. Its only a 34 but has a 12 beam so its gets a little too wide too fast. When you get into a heavy sea and you have to get off plane, the bow is too blunt for me. I do take it offshore for kings and ling but its not equipped for tuna, marlin and such, only has 172 gal. fuel and that limits me as to how far offshore I can go. Had a 40 Viking before this one and that was a sportfish, had a pair of 8-92 TIs in it and it held 560 gal of fuel. Would go 100 miles plus off Galveston after the big ones. Big ones there would be 300 lbs plus.<br />Yea Boomyal, that an understatement.
