Ladies And Gentelmen, Boys And Girls
Welcome to the BIG TOP. I am proud to introduce to you the....New, "New to me II....aka.....the Big Girl. Got a phone call from my buddy, EZ, yesterday & he said "I'm Standing Here With My Hand On Your Boat". He didn't say "you need to come look at this boat" or anything else,,,,,just 'Hand On Your Boat". Well he couldn't have been closer to the truth. I looked at her yesterday, said OK, deal, wrote a check, left work early today, hooked my ole girl up,(very good ole girl btw), and dragged her kicking and screaming to the site of the trade. She didn't go quietly. Acted like she didn't want to start, belched blue smoke, laid down on the compression test, but she couldn't fool the experts, performance was acceptable. Transaction complete. So here she is, the "big girl".

Put her in the water today at the Rankin landing (dang DonDon was there) and just tooled around a bit then headed out into the big water and the rez, yes, the main lake. Windy with a lot of other boat traffic, but the Big Girl stayed smooth and dry. Ran up to above the saw dust pile, turned around and ran back, WOT all the way and does that baby like to drink..Big girl has a big appetite. But, WOW, I now know what you guys are talking about when you mention "hole shot". This baby totally jumps out of the water. Now, I just have to mount all my toys on Big Girl that I just mounted on ole girl. Well, that's part of the fun now, isn't it. See you Sat at the rez FJ.
