You ain't lying Darrell. I thought all the NVT and Parabolic strakes was a bunch of marketing BS but it is one of the best rides out there and I have been on many newer bass boats. We drove her around for 5 and half hours and never trimmed the motor (load on motor during break-in period) and it only burned a little over a 1/8 of a tank.

A boat ride/fishing trip and the opportunity to straighten it out for me because I am so over getting fiberglass in my hands.

Glad you got the Fury prop. I've had a custom prop that was for racing on a bass boat and the Fury prop is the best out of the box prop I've ever put on a boat.

I knew I should have been at David's place when you guys were rigging that boat. But now when we want to find you on the lake, we just look for the 'pimped up' ride. roflmao

Nice looking boat....wish I could afford one bang

Kirk and DFW - I'll get pics of the trolling motor this weekend but yes it is a Xi5 with a LiftSaver TM Mount. The way it would have set on the front of this boat, I wouldn't been able to mount the TM without the LiftSaver.


Pictures of the trolling motor mounted on the LiftSaver Plus.





The Xi5 would have hit the trailer every time but no issues now.

Watching you catch the first crappie on the new boat was cool. Nice boat Ron.

Thanks for the awesome pics David.

I went over to SUAF and helped put a new Ultrex on Tim's boat and then we all went to LL so Tim could calibrate the new TM so I had to drop a jig while they were doing that and pulled 7 or 8 fish off that pole. Then I put my boat on spot lock and hopped on Tim's boat to show him and mark some waypoints on LL. While I was doing this, David is cruising around getting these pictures. Awesome day on the water with good friends. thumb



Steve - thanks and it is already done so stop by sometime and I will show you what I did.
