    Default Lightning put my lights out


    I got me a new boat(new to me) and I was telling crappie Pro about it. I was telling him I would post a picture of it when I got my ears lit up by a lightning strike. It hit my transformer and I was out of juice untill late this morning so now I will post the picture. I saw this boat on craigslist in oklahoma. I have been looking for a bigger boat because most of the guys that go fishing with me are elderly and stagger all over the place and I need to keep them safe. Anyway it is an 18 foot ,2001 Lowe with a 90hp Johnson and a brand new SS prop. It is in great condition and runs like a scalded dog. I have looked at hundreds of them and this seemed like my best buy. $5500. I took off a 54lb 24 volt Evinrude TM and put my terrova I-pilot on it today. I will soon be selling my 16' Alumacraft with a 6 ' beam and a 40HP Yamaha tillar w/ trim and tilt. Got a few thing to do to it yet.

    Ohhhh WOW!!! Ray Your making the Dark Angel Jealous. Looks like a brand new one. I'm glad you went with a LOWE I keep trying to tell every body they are as tough, wide, and stable as they come for an aluminum boat. I love the double up front seating and not having the constant feeling im about to fall over the side or whobble you get with some of the other brands. Can't wait to go get some crappie slime in her. Sorry to hear about your lightning strike. Congrats... Looks like you picked a good one. Now What's her name going to be? White Angel? HAHA!!! see ya soon.

    Hey nice rig there. Is the motor losing half the skeg already or is that the way it was made?
