Should be this Friday on Lewisville. Picked her up last night and started rigging her out and can't wait to get her on the water to see how it will fish.

Very nice Ron, really purdy. So I'm guessing you're not gona be bumping trees at RC Sat. If that is where the crappie are than you can bet your boots that is where I am headed. You can also bet your boots that I'm gonna use my tourney part as a bumper by tying him to the side of the boat (Dave - if you read this you may want to bring nothing but 16 foot rods so we can stay a safe distance from any hazards).

Are you gona put one of those TM contraptions on your new boat? Xi5 right? 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. I also didn't get what you were saying Kirk until I saw the pic with the seats off the posts. Yeah, I need to put the seats on before Davedave get's onboard.

(Literally) Hey Ernest - I was hoping you and Guy wouldn't see the pics so I could potlick off you a couple of times before you figured out it was me. I'll make sure I pull over when I see you so I can talk you out of the toon and back into a bass boat.

Thanks for all the compliments on my new girlfriend. She is just what I wanted and I looked at a lot of boats but kept going back to this one for many different reasons. I just can't wait to take my 'New Girlfriend' out for a ride and break her in right so I get many, many years of great use out of her.

You kinda went down the long road to keep the name "Blue Nitro" Be safe on the maiden voyage.... If you need a LiftSaver for your new trolling motor give me a call. I know a guy....

Thanks David.
David supplied the Fish Finder, Trolling Motor and a few other parts and as always, it was a pleasure doing business with David (I also call him a good friend). If any of you are looking for 'stuff' for your boat and need any installation work or on the water education than you really need to give him a call. I send everyone I know directly to him because he has always treated them right. And he does stock the LiftSaver so you can pick up one of those too or call me/pm me personally and we will take care of you.

My boats so dirty the carpet foams when it rains!!! No, we fished out of David's boat. I am trying to find a gremlin with the HDS StructureSacn (won't power up) so all I have is 2D right now. Speaking of being meticulous, can you spot the one thing in the above picture that is driving me absolutely crazy? I don't think any shad or catfish will be hitting this deck anytime soon. I thought she needed a little more blue. There are 6 more lights on the front deck as well as in the tackle box and rod boxes.

OMG - YES!!! I think they screwed up at the factory because I got the top of the line seats at no cost. I was complaining to the salesperson about the seats and the brackets on the display boat. They were smaller and the bracket put them on a awkward angle so when I saw my new ones I was very happy. I also got the upgraded Fury prop for free as well.

Your gonna love it best ride .Your gonna be happy for yrs and the fuel mileage is great.Darrell 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.

Speaking of being meticulous, can you spot the one thing in the above picture that is driving me absolutely crazy? I am betting its those wires bouncing around on the trolling motor.

Speedometer looks crooked. What do I win? Winner, winner - chicken dinner!!! 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 thought she needed a little more blue. There are 6 more lights on the front deck as well as in the tackle box and rod boxes. 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. Nice looking boat....wish I could afford one

Ron you done good, show us your TM set up once you get it installed. Oh btw, I sure hope you stand up while fishing. Very nice! You are gona get there fast! Are you gona put one of those TM contraptions on your new boat? Xi5 right? 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.

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

That's one sweet ride. Let me know when we're doing top speed testing. I love speed. I looked at nitro a lot when boat shopping. That's what I would have gotten if we didn't get the bay boat. Still wanted to go fast so I changed the prop on it. Lol.
