I bought the boat on saturday the 26th after taking it her for a test ride out at the public launch in Sayreville. She rode great and I can't wait to her out this spring.
-
That is a good boat! Good luck with it. t^ Are you going to be trailering it?
-
I'm keeping it at the Highlands. So I'll be towing it from dry dock to the ramp and back. I live in Northwest NJ, so towing isn't something I want to do all season long.
The boat came with a 9.9 4 stroke Yammi kicker as well. t^
-
Nice to have a kicker to troll and to get you home if the big engine fails.
-
Nice ride, Sam.
Good luck with it. Get it ready early for the spring striper bite. Christen her in right. t^
-
nice ride.. good luck
-
Congrats!
The yammie a 4 stroke?

Congrats!
The yammie a 4 stroke?
Yup....it's an older model but runs fine.
Boat has a bimini as well, full plastic enclosure, a cooler/flip seat, outriggers, porta potti, cushions, new salt water wash down pump, new hydraulic steering, etc, etc.
Can you tell I'm excited? ;D
-
You should be. Congrats and 2004 motor is still a baby :)
-
46 hours on the motor also. It has a fuel management system which is nice.
-
good for you. t^
-
Good luck with the new boat. See you on the water.

Thanks Wing. He is a great guy and was willing to follow me all the way home to make sure I made it OK. Nice gesture.
I have to stop down there again to pick up some things that I couldn't fit in the truck. I'll let you know when and maybe we could hook up for a beer afterwards.
-
You will love that fuel management system. t^
Only 46 hours on the motor?!?!?! WOW! I put over 200 hours on mine just last year. TT^ My new motor last year was, I believe, manufactured in 2005. They now don't put the year on the motor, they refer to them, when you buy them, as a 'current year' motor. You will love it. t^
Again, good luck and good catching on the new rig.
-
Nice ride!
Good luck!

-
Hey Kevin....Thanks alot. I'll be seeing you soon. ;)
The boat came with a bimini and a full plastic enclosure.
I am seriously thinking about a hard top in the future though.
As far as a name that everyone has been asking about...
My 3 year old niece is my little sweetheart.
The boat will be named after her in some form. Her name is Madeline Elyse, "Maddie" for short.
I'm still thinking.....
-
hhmmm does her last name end with a c? "Maddie sea" or "maddie c" , good thinking, yeah hardtops are great, maybe a couple grand for one, not too bad
