My new Ride..
« on: January 28, 2008, 07:00:04 AM »

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.

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.

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

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.

Sweet ride Sam, congratulations on the new rig.  My wife's partner had a GW and I have to say the ride was great.  Good Luck with it.

Happy Catching
