Unveiling My Crappie / White Bass Boat

Unveiling My Crappie / White Bass Boat - 08/22/16 12:08 AM

Today I took my new to me Crappie / White Bass boat that I have been working on since Feb. This boat has all new wiring including the motor wiring harness. I replaced the 90 hp Merc 2 stroke with the Suzuki 115 Four Stroke fuel injected. Brand new Motorguide Xi5 saltwater troll motor. Channel mounted down riggers (new) and channel mounted rod holders. This whole project started with Todd at Safe-Floor installing a brand new Safe-Floor and he did an unbelievable job. The trial run today was great, boat ran around 40 mph and the only thing I found wrong is that I had the sidescan transducer mounted a little to low so it was throwing up water. I think I am going to really like this boat. The table on the back will swap out with the chair on the floor so we can set in some comfy lawn chairs to fish. Well here it is for those that have been wanting to see it. By the way, her name is "C-Worthy Too" smile

Well your boat turned out really nice. Sure glad you hung the 115 on the back cause the old 90 sure fits my pontoon nice. LOL
Hope you catch a bunch of fish in the new ride!!

Re: Unveiling My Crappie / White Bass Boat - 08/22/16 08:38 AM

Now that everyone knows what by boat looks like, be sure to wave and say hi when you see me out. WHICH won't be for at least another 2 - 3 months as I am having shoulder surgery this morning at 5:00 so I will be out of commission for a while. But I will be ready to slime er up by the time fall fishing is here. Looking forward to seeing all of ya'll out on the water.
C Worthy....... tight lines

The side console has so much more floor room than a CC it looks like it's 20 ft long. Great fishing machine C Worthy.

Re: Unveiling My Crappie / White Bass Boat - 08/23/16 04:13 AM

I have another questIon. Before I ask, good luck with the surgery.

What is the table for?

Re: Unveiling My Crappie / White Bass Boat - 08/23/16 04:18 AM

WOW!! that`s very nice
Posted By: C Worthy

Re: Unveiling My Crappie / White Bass Boat - 08/23/16 04:38 AM

Dave, the table will go where that lower chair goes and the chair will temporarily go where the table is. the plan is that my wife and I will be able to sit in some comfortable aluminum chairs while fishing with the table between us to hold snacks & drinks. there will be one set of rod holders in front of each chair. beside my chair, I will have access to minnows & livewell and beside her chair, she will have access to a livewell ice chest. that's the plan. smile

thank you so very much for the prayers. Surgery went well, typing the old hen peck method now. taking 2 pain pills every 4 hrs to keep it under control for the first couple of days. then rehab crying

Re: Unveiling My Crappie / White Bass Boat - 08/23/16 02:09 PM

I like it too! I thought long and hard about switching to one of these deep V boats, and then fished a pontoon! Wow!

Enjoy the new ride. Looks like you have equipped it well, not only for crappie, but some deep feeding big'uns!

Good luck, and don't forget to document your exploits with pic of the new slim! thumb
