Project Boat???

I really can't call this a project boat because it was in really good shape when I bought it. I have always wanted/liked a Ranger 619-621 and a Crappie Masters boat..Probably never be able to have the Ranger boat but I now have a Crappie Masters Seventeen. It has been well kept and I couldn't walk away from it when I saw it. I got the trolling motor and electronics mounted on it. Only thing left is to do mount the on board battery charger and rod holders on the back...Then the new motor....Well...rebuilt, but new to me, should be ready by next weekend.

I thought about that, John....But she said she wants the back seat because the rear livewell is bigger....All I could say was "Yes Dear":notworthy

That is nice looking rig...............I would be proud to own it.:ThumbsUp

That looks like a great fishing platform. Never saw one before. Love the way you set down in it up front.

What size motor you going to put on it tim.

I found a rebuilt 100 hp Mercury that hasn't been in the water since it was rebuilt. Came with a 1 yr warranty. That ought to push it pretty good!!!

Looks great Tim, I wish you lots of luck with it. I'll be looking for you at Crescent.

Can't blame you for that! Good find! I just bought a new boat last year and it was just what I wanted.....until I saw another one!!! It's a sickness I tell ya! Like buying plastic baits. How many colors can I use?...All of them!!:dono

Man that's a sweet looking ride. Will even look better with some Talquin Slab Slime on it.

Picked up my motor today...Hope to be cruising on the lake real soon!!!!

Awesome!!

Ginny

The motor is on and I'll be hitting the lake Saturday morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super nice sled right there Tnt!

That's a great boat.....really like the layout

SWEET!!

Real nice ride, have fun with it.

Well, I didn't get to take it out Saturday...or Sunday. I discovered that I had more than a handful of electrical problems. After 2 FULL days of tracing and pulling wires, I now have everything working. Gonna be on the water first thing tomorrow morning!!!

Finally got out this morning and the boat ran real good. Still have a couple of things to take care of but nothing major....BUT, Talquin Maggie has gotten so used to the big boat that she isn't sure if she is gonna like this boat or not. She "thinks" that she will get used to it.....And I keep thinking "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy":yikes....We'll See!!!

Hard to back down once you've been in the bigger boat, hopefully she will get used to it.

Well looks like your going to have 2 boats!!:cheers2
