Thanks all! My fishing partner does help a bit, she makes sure all the fish are clean before entering the live well! Rayzor, i looked at the non slip deck...man does it get HOT! I was sold on this model because of the dual live wells with built in minnow buckets, and the multi seat config option up front.

Hahaaa! I've heard that a boat owner's two happiest days are the day he buys the boat, and the day he sells it!! I have been a continous Boat Owner since 1984 except for a short period of time in 2004 when one boat burned up in a boat shed fire. I took me from Labor day weekend until Thanksgiving that year till I got a deal done with a guy in Denver to buy his boat. Other than that I have always owned one and can really never see myself not owning a boat. Way too much fun.

You might want to cut a small piece of carpet for your 'lil buddy' to stand/lay on....yeppers...in Texas it can get VERY hot... Just a suggestion God Bless

I went with Lowe for a couple reasons. It was wider than either of the Alumacraft or Trackers i looked at, so the stability is incredible. It has two live wells vs one on the others.I liked the comfort behind the wheel, being a little guy i really had to stretch if i sat all the way back! The fishing space on the Lowe is just amazing! The other were sporting a 6-9 gal gas tank, this one is 19. It was just a lot more boat for the couple grand extra.

Hahaaa! I've heard that a boat owner's two happiest days are the day he buys the boat, and the day he sells it!! I think this old saying mostly applies to morons who buy big pleasure boats and quickly learn they don't really like to go skiing every weekend like they thought they would, but the bank still wants that payment every month, and storing it is more of a pain than they care for.

Like the boat. Like the wheels too. They make it look even cooler. Nice touch. Did you sleep in it for the first few nights? I would have. Nice to have something that is all new. My boat is 20 years old and still going strong. It was three when i got it. Hats off to you.
TAKE A PHOTO HOME NOT THE FISH. CATCH AND RELEASE Set the hook first and ask questions later.
