Sounds like you'll practically have a new boat Steve and I'll be watching for your up-dates & pictures as they come in.

Awesome work as always Chris !!

And there's few fishermen that boat as many huge pickeral as Steve either. Good luck with the re-build Steve, it'll be interesting to see the pictures of the finished boat.

OH no, Kelvin I'm so very sorry to hear this and deepest sympathies from both Diane and myself. Very very sad.

I've got a rod locker under my front deck plus more enclosed storage in the side of the boat so everything can be put safely outta the way of clumsy feet when needed.

Great news Chris, just don't overdo anything and do exactly what the doc tells you to do.

Just saw the video Nick and that's some great stuff you guys do. Goodonya for giving up your spare time to help others.

That WOULD be impressive

Pictures ??

Very impressive work indeed Roy !! You've been turning out some really nice baits in the last few years.

I've always purchased the 3 year sport simply because of the convenience.

Rather than having a bunch of folks guestimating a price, why not call some furnace companies for an exact cost ??

Congrats on the new boat, sounds like a beaut. My bud has had a 17' Princecraft with a 115 Evinrude for quite a few years now and he's really happy with it and has never had an issue with anything.

Good news to hear your feeling better and I'll bet seeing your daughter after awhile had alot to do with it !!

Beautiful fish !!!!

Some really nice chunky fish there, well done !!

:lol:

Probably all those pesky rivets causing the problem

Google Chrome for me and no problems.

Thanks for that Roy

That's a good looking set-up Dax, nice & neat. I did the same on my last boat Roy, if the live well isn't being used for fish, it can serve as lure storage.

I drove a Crestliner for 8 or 9 years and it was an excellent boat. Sold it to a friend who's had it for 3 years now and it's still an excellent boat. I'm on the water more than most folks and never had an issue with it. I know a few others with Crestliners and their all happy with theirs too. Never owned a Smokercraft but have fished out of a couple and they seem like good boats too.

I also bought my current boat at the show on the agreement the dealer store it for me at his place for the winter and have it all rigged & ready when I picked it up in May, which they did.

About 3 years between my last 2 fishing reports Art.

Even if you don't find any bargains at the Boatshow it's still a great way to spend an afternoon. Always lotsa good stuff to look at and see what's new on the market. Just be careful though, cause if you lose your willpower it can become a VERY expensive day.
