Hey Gang,
Well I finally had my boat home for the first time this weekend in hopes of a maiden voyage yesterday. I've been waiting 4 weeks for my flippin trailer! Sunday was going to be in the upper 50's and sunny so I'm thinkin here's my chance before snow... But as luck would have it, wind was blowing (15-25 mph) from the south had all area lakes looking evil.... So strike one for that. I'm having a waterline cover made for her, as during the summer months she's stored outside. So I picked her up Saturday, Sunday prep for the water, drove to the launch, saw nothing but white caps ~ (2-4' chop) and cranking wind... So I drove to the other lake on the area chain, and the same deal! I decided to drop her back off so the cover-maker can finish this week... I hope I can at least get her in the water before the snow flies... I need to break in the new Yammy, so I have a few hours at no more than half throttle until I can open her up... Anyhow... Here are a few pics my new craft...

Anyway, when I was prepping my boat for launch a very nice Hurricane Fun Deck 202(I think that was the model, 20 something anyway) pulled up right next to me. His was an inboard with a trolling motor on the front. Very nice boat..I really like those v-hull deck boats. We are really enjoying our Monterey right now, but if we ever get something different or upgrade, we will definitely be shopping for a deck boat.
