Thought I would share some pics of my new rig. Finally saved up enough to pick up a good 1999 Aluminum 15ft SeaArk with a 40 horse engine! banana Will finally be able to chase down them crappie a little better, than stumbling around on the banks & running into snakes for the past year & a half smile Took it out for its maiden voyage today with my buddy Jason, and it ran great, but fish were not cooperating, go figure. We'll get em next time though. laugh laugh

Nice boat and contgrats on owning it. Now instead of standing on the back and casting to the middle you will sit in the middle and cast to the bank. Whoda figured?

Nice rig jtc ! My wife and I went out today too for the first trip this year in our little boat and didn't do too much better. She usually outfishes me and did today too but her one 8 inch crappie was our slowest trip yet. We were out from noon to almost 6, no one else we saw caught much either.

Congrats on the rig, now you can go get them fish away from the bank after they move out.

why do you have your boat pulled in front ways in the garage?

If you cut a 12/12 hole in the bottom , you won't even have to cast out a line.-- Looks great.

Grayone --- Who do you think you are kidding? If you cut a hole in the bottom, everything that is loose in the bottom of the boat would roll out.

Thanks guys, took it out to Lavon yesterday, and ran it just fine. I really like the V hull ride. We caught around 12 crappie, with 5 keepers off of trees. Caught a couple of what I think, was fresh water drum as well. Not sure if they are good to eat. Fried up the crappie last night, and Mmmmmmmmmmm. Very good! Can't wait to go again.

And if you are like most folks who bought a boat....every month you must cast off a good chunk of your paycheck....also to the bank! laugh

Looks like it might be a cash boat - the best kind - I'm still kicking myself for not pulling back a 18' BassTracker with a 65 hp & trailer for $1800 from my last trip to Minnesota - would have been a GREAT project boat all for cash.....I'm resisting asking Pete if it's still on the side of the road......let's see - 2 days up, 1 day to make sure the wheels are greased, 2 days back....oh well, save my pennies - one will show up here......
