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".

Was very concerned about the "fit". Just barely made it, and I mean Barely.

Far as it will go. Next, new house with shed or bigger garage.

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.

looks like a nice girl

That's a fishin' machine right there. Just a suggestion but, I'da left the truck out in the yard. How you gonna hang things on the ole girl and not tap the side of that SUV?

Way to go Maj.......:D

It looks great Maj....I am happy for you. You will really like that boat.

That's a purty ride.

Nice boat Maj. You will love that 4 stroke.

nice boat ,now it needs the accessorys installed lol

looking good dude...

Congrats hope to finalize on one soon myself

Nice ride

You are gonna LOVE that V-hull for the ride, Almost as smooth as KITTEN.

Congrats on the new boat Maj. You are going to enjoy the bigger boat on the rez no doubt.

Maj, thats a beautiful boat my friend. You'll really enjoy it and love it even more when you're dealing with boat wakes and those 3 foot rollers that you'll have all year long on the rez

Very nice Major. I look forward to seeing Saturday.

Happy for ya Major! You'll really like that deep V on rough days.

Congrats, Maj!!!! Sweet ride! :)

I like big girls. Especially when tattood. Shade in the summer, warmth in the winter and moving pictures all year long.

Nice boat ya gots there.

I'm so proud of our apprentice. I can remember when he was such a young and inexperienced lad. I can even remember his first questions about which boat, which toys for boat, which baits, and all the other how-to questions. Now look at him all grown up and everything. Brings tears to my eyes I tell ya!

Nice, real nice. I see she's got some really big T---S. Just the way I like my gals.

Nice boat Maj, now you can take DD and WB out and teach them how to CATCH a fish.

dd yes he will learn wb no way he still looks at cane pole post and cant even talk??????

Took Big Girl out on our second date this afternoon. Things are really going well, we talked and snuggled, (don't fret Kitten, you the one) just trying to get to know one another better, taking it slow and easy. Put in at the Madison landing and ran up the main lake a few miles, stopped, checked out all the bait wells and live wells (4 of them), put the tm in the water and it checked out, I'll change from motor guide to MK in the near future, went to main harbor and just rode around for awhile. So far, two times on the water, loading and unloading is easier than with the smaller boat. Don't have to back down into the water so far as to get my deck shoes wet.:D:D

Sounds good Maj.....glad you are liking the big girl.
