there was an error on the price by 3 grand so I took advantage of it and signed the papers then negotiated a trailer into the deal after tax and everything 26 gs.they put the wrong sticker price on this so I got a couple options free ,hydraulic steering ,saltwater washdown ,stainless prop

Hey Catfish,
 You have a sweet ride. I can not believe you got her for that price! Good for you. Where will be running out of? Hopefully I will see you out in the bay and river catching some flattie ( if i don't get them all first  ;D )
When you have an open spot one day, let me know, I would love to fish with you on her. Trade ya, a trip for a trip!!

Title: Re: got my new boat
Post by: drome on March 16, 2007, 09:51:28 PM
Go with it... I'm very superstitious and something about consistency would make me feel better!!

You dock her somewhere or just trailer?

Post by: catfish hunter on March 16, 2007, 10:09:59 PM
I live 2 blocks from the edison boat ramp so I trailer her down the hill and launch there its 55 bucks a year ,I wish I could afford the slip fees but not after this big nut ,plus I blew up my truck bringin her home  ;D,it is the pearl or white trash need one more week to decide

Post by: catfish hunter on April 09, 2007, 05:51:47 AM

Title: Re: got my new boat
Post by: rugman on April 09, 2007, 07:39:38 AM
i had a 1730 keywest cc and put a foot controll on the bow and a high bunk seat it was like a bass boat , it was great for fishing the lakes. that boat did not have a rail . i have to take a look at it and see , there are some guys that take the rails off
Title: Re: got my new boat
Post by: catfish hunter on April 09, 2007, 02:04:37 PM
why do that when you can mount it to the moter and steer from the wheel
Title: Re: got my new boat
Post by: rugman on April 12, 2007, 07:45:23 AM
i like to set in the frount and cast ::)

Post by: ped579 on April 12, 2007, 09:46:01 AM
Hay Cat, have you noticed any extra drag with it mounted perminately so to speak and is there any increase in gas consumption?  I would assume that the unit is somewhat streamlined to cut down on that stuff.  I was juist wondering...  8)
Title: Re: got my new boat
Post by: catfish hunter on April 12, 2007, 09:49:28 AM
I dont have one yet on my moter but I am saving for it now ,my buddy has one on his and it is great for controling your drifts along the channel edges
Title: Re: got my new boat
Post by: ped579 on April 12, 2007, 09:58:17 AM
Sounds like the logical choice for your application.  Will you be using the on board battery or hook up an external battery that can be chargred while you are running by switching batteries?  Hate like hell to run outa juice out there.
Title: Re: got my new boat
Post by: catfish hunter on April 12, 2007, 10:26:27 AM
gonna run its own battery to it w/ a onboard charger if I decide to do it
Title: Re: got my new boat
Post by: ped579 on April 12, 2007, 10:28:25 AM
Sounds like a plan.  Good luck...
Title: Re: got my new boat
Post by: catfish hunter on April 12, 2007, 10:31:39 AM
thanks ,I am gonna see how the new boat handles first then see if I need it
Title: Re: got my new boat
Post by: ped579 on April 12, 2007, 10:41:43 AM
I know with the price of gas you would want to run as slick as possible. Any obstruction protruding out there can cause enough drag to bring up the cost of every trip up.  Too bad they didn't make a model you could clamp on and off in other words, while running out its off the motor once out there just clamp it on and have fun.  Once finished you could take it off and run back in with out it on.

Or is that over kill?

What do you want from a beach bum... ;D
