New guy saying Hi!

[insaynestanger]

Hello Everyone! I Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Matt and I live in South Georgia. Finally after growing up on the water I have a boat of my very own. Although I had to trade my Race Car (Mustang) to get it, I got it! Plus, the wife stayed happy. lol. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

:welcome: What kind of boat and motor combination did you get?

I ended up getting an '88 Stratos 189V Fish and Ski. Motor is a Johnson GT150. Wasn't sure about it until I saw it and then I was sold. Motor had papers where it had just been check and ran out great. Basically all it really needed was some TLC and a good cleaning which I am in the process of doing right now.

I'm the type of guy like most on here I'm sure that likes working on the boat just as much as using it. Especially when the results come out like you expect. lol.

What about yourself tazrig? What combination are you running?

I have a 1976 F233-C Formula That I've had for 25 years and restored twice. I recently re-powered with twin Mercruiser 350 mag mpi's and a few other goodies. see below.
