Gets a little more speed! Enjoy and be safe!

The windshields look like the former owners took some windows out of a bus! Hell it's a boat though, that beats my canoe. A good thing to do your drinkin' & fishin' at the same time............I hope you catch a boatload of fish!!!!!

Congrats, I'm excited for you!!

The boat is doing around 34mph with 2 ppl on it. more then i need for fishing. and yeah the windows aint that pretty but will come in handy since we plan to fish pike in october and its chilly outside. another good thing about the windows is that it blocks alot of sound from the engine when you sit in the front.

been out at the boat after my day job today and spent 3 hours with high pressure water and soap to clean it for tomorrows waxing :P

Good going MrMagnus, sounds good. Sorry, I wasn't making fun of your boat just because of the windshields. Hey, if I had the boat, I would keep them on there too because of water splashing up, especially in colder weather. I would be proud to own a boat like that. I have a canoe & had been fishing in areas that looked like it was full of snakes & I told my friend, whatever you do, don't turn us over in this area & what does the fool do? He turns us over in that swampy area of the river & I was just waiting to get snakebite. Luckily nothing happened but it was in about 12 feet deep of water & i had to swim to the bottom to get my fishing pole & whatever else went down. He then wanted me to go get his pole too & I made him get it himself. I never went fishing with him again in my canoe! I really do like your boat.......................beats my canoe.

Almost all the "Boat sayings have been mentioned hehehe
BOAT = Bust Out Another Thousand
Boat = Hole in the water to toss money into
Best two days of a Boat owner = The day you buy it followed by the day you sell it

Yada Yada Yada

There are also way too much fun...

Hint: Something I learned last season when we took ours out of the slip and found a ton of Lake Slime on the hull.. It can be easily removed by using Toilet Bowl Cleaner or a product like CLR
Be careful as some are stronger in their acid content, so it might need to be mixed with water then applied..
It got our hull squeaky clean and ready for the wax, I think this year I might mix it a touch stronger..

(This can all be found on Google and Youtube also)


Have you named her yet ????

Congrats

I hope Sweden has enough water for that nice boat.

Yeppers, she needs a name,my 12 ft Valco is the Gonorrhea Maru

I used to have a 14 ft. Larsen named "Samattafayou Maru"............
