kickingfrog Posted May 10, 2013 Report Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Before: After: You may remember a month or so ago Rizzo was asking about boat/motor combos and features. I asked him about his current boat and he sent me some photos. A few weeks later, the new boat is bought, he needs to make room in the garage and puts his old boat up for sale. A few PMs and some emails and a deal is struck. The list of things to do in the new house is still long but maybe I'll get her wet by the long weekend. Edited May 24, 2013 by kickingfrog
Cudz Posted May 10, 2013 Report Posted May 10, 2013 Nice looking boat Rob!!! If I see you out I will come by and say hi

Rizzo Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 ...dude...can I have it back? It is a bit sad seeing it go, but then I picked up my new alummacraft and suddenly felt a lot better! I hope you enjoy it Rob, it was a pleasure meeting you.

kickingfrog Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Posted May 11, 2013 Just like New.. Roger never used the thing!! It sure looks like the livewell never saw a fish.
irishfield Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 It sure looks like the livewell never saw a fish. Not that I ever heard about !
woodenboater Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 nice new water ride. btw, move that Weber kettle a bit and you gain a couple of feet for boat storage
kickingfrog Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Posted May 11, 2013 ...dude..can I have it back? It is a bit sad seeing it go, but then I picked up my new alummacraft and suddenly felt a lot better! I hope you enjoy it Rob, it was a pleasure meeting you. And meeting you. I wanta see some photos of the new rig (I'm sure I'm not the only one). Who knows maybe in a few years when you get the 2 footitis we can deal again.
Moosebunk Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 Great rig Rob. You're going to enjoy that. What are the boat specs? Motor HP and such?
Old Ironmaker Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 That rig sure makes your garage much nicer. You know the old saying about the 2 happiest days of a boat owner, it's Bull. Enjoy. I remember when I got my new rig after going without for 20 years, I would get up to take a, well you know what, and had to flip the light switch on and look outside and say " that's mine ". I still do, wife says come to bed honey, it will be there in the morning, I promise.
Radnine Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 A few too many rivets for my liking, but hey, if it floats your boat... Well done and congratulations to you!!!! Jim
kickingfrog Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Posted May 11, 2013 16 ft Princecraft pro series. It's maxed out at 50hp with a Johnson 4stroke. Here are a couple of photos Rizzo sent me:
Old Ironmaker Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 A Johnson, oh no, tell me it's not so. I didn't notice the Johnson. Sell the boat, now. Don't wait until the morning, sell it now!!!! Every time I see a Johnson the cowl is off. That's OK don't panic, you can always upgrade to a Merc someday. Enjoy. It's Friday night and this vodka sure tastes fine!
bow slayer Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 actually not a johnson...that is a 4 stroke so it is a suzuki,no need for him to downgrade to a merc You will love the motor ,i have a 70 4 stroke johnson(suzuki) and has been a dream to own.
SlowPoke Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 Those Jozuki's are great... I'm still looking for a 15 longshaft electric. Nice boat Rob. You might need a Q7 to pull it though
Sinker Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 Congrats Rob. Not a bad rig, but the tiller model of that boat is much nicer Did Rizzo keep the bowmount? Your gonna have to go shopping asap! S.
Rizzo Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 A Johnson, oh no, tell me it's not so. I didn't notice the Johnson. Sell the boat, now. Don't wait until the morning, sell it now!!!! Every time I see a Johnson the cowl is off. ...you're nuts. That their engine is the best I've ever had out of the 6 outboards I've owned in my life...and 2 of those have been mercs! Like someone else said, it is actually a Suzuki. Would not have changed it for the world.
lew Posted May 11, 2013 Report Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Congrats on the new ride Rob, you got a good one. ,no need for him to downgrade to a merc Edited May 11, 2013 by lew
