you gotta take pics of the progression bigriver, not just the finished product
That's a very sharp boat. My dad has the same boat cept his has a V max one fitty on his. Is that the new pan fesh edition with the lower decks and dual pedestals factory installed and the minner bucket and live well up front that's around 22,000 clams?
Oh yea, you gonna paddle that purty boat around?
Now thats a lotta clams.Quote:

I thought the F150 would burn more fuel, and the xtra 5 mph wouldn't be worth the xtra money or the xtra weight. Should run out about 50ish with the F115. The 150 HPDI will hum along around 65ish. Purdy good for a 18' aluminum boat.Quote:

Feelay, I ordered you a Camo model today!!!! Ifn you don't want Camo, after we go for a spin, and you like it, we'll git you a yeller one----LMAO.
Just hope I get time to get her ready at all. We've been unusually busy. I'll do my best though. Aint much of a photographer. Might have to hire WB to show the progression. From what I've seen, he's a pro at that. Dont know about the one fish thing though. He had a few more than that when I saw him.Quote:

Wannabe...
Let me git er done, and I'll PM you a price. Gotta give 10 demo rides with confirmation letters signed before I can sell her. I AIN'T in no hurry though. This one is mine for awhile. I'll order ya one. LOL. I do wish I had put the 150 HPDI on her though. Great lookin engines, and fast too.Quote:

I think that F115 with a 19" Turbo prop will push her along just fine.Quote:

very nice job!!!! i like it.........hope to see more pics........
Sweet boat
I know youre already loving 'er. I see a little fish slime. How'd she handle?
Looking mighty fine there!!!
You gotter going good, may as well paint 'MAJFLYBOY' on the side of her.
Nice looking ride! Sure like that red color!
Fine looking boat for sure.
outstanding boat, hope you get a lot of enjoyment before you have to let it go to some lucky person.
That's a fine boat for sure BRM. Major and I could fish comfortably out of that one. Lol
Ain't got the hours on her yet to really hammer down, but I've sold a bunch of em and they handle great especially in rough water. I did plane her out today with foot and a half white caps at Butla this afternoon, and she was like ridin on a cloud. Couldn't believe how smooth she was in the rough stuff. Could have been worse and she would have handled it with ease. I still gotta adjust my jack plate too. Blew out when I trimmed her up. Need to go down bout 1/2 inch or so and try her again.Quote:

Yea that was me and my fishin partner. Thanks!!Quote:
