New Boat

**Pastor** · 08-08-2014, 01:53 PM

Thanks to all of you who made suggestions about a new boat. After doing some shopping and comparing boats and options, and prices I settled on a TC 18 Crestliner. It is the Pro Edition and has everything I was looking for with a few extras. It has a 90HP Fourstroke Mercury, a 75LB 24 volt trolling motor, side-by-side seats in the front for when my wife or grandchildren go with me, built in charger, ratchet tie downs, and many other extras such as upgraded wheels on the trailer. All that I am going to add at the moment is a bow mounted depth finder with a transducer mounted on the trolling motor; and the salesman said that they would throw that in for free. I had no idea that Crestliner manufactured an aluminum boat.

I placed a deposit on it yesterday but will probably not have it in my possession for 2 or 3 weeks. I will post pictures of it when I get it. Maybe I can come up and fish the D'Arbonne Gathering with ya'll this year. Anyone have extra space in their cabin?

Sounds like a winner Pastor! Congrats on the new purchase....now the anticipation begins for a few weeks.

I have Hummingbird finders on the boat but after reading others posts the Eliete 5 by Laurence I think would be a better choice in ease to operate

Hey, I met Big John once out on Lake Claiborne. That is not funny. LOL. HAHAHA. But a begging man can't be a choosy man.
