Vicki and I took the day and drove down to West Memphis, AR to meet Bill at Big River Marine and pick up our new Excel Bay Pro 203.


It was great meeting Bill. He gave me a great deal and was a pleasure to work with. We got all the paperwork done and signed, checked everything out and got it hooked up. The trip home was uneventful till I answered my phone while we were eating supper in Union City,TN. Seemed I had a buck to cape out waiting for me as soon as I rolled into town. We took the boat by the house backed it into the driveway then found out I had missed my measurements by several inches and the garage door won't close in it's present form. I think some modifications are in order. I tried to talk Vicki into letting me take a chain saw to the exterior wall of her sewing room so I could fix it like Cajun Fryer fixed his garage. She mumbled something about a divorce being more expensive than the boat so I thought better of that.


Now Rickie get to show his magic touch on mounting the electronics and I get to rig the rest. With deer season in full swing and I just got in a Mid-Asian Ibex to mount along with the deer, it's going to be busy around my place. Wish us luck.
