Ordered a Motorguide 80lb saltwater XI5 with gps and Lowrance Hook7 with navionics from BBG Marine that arrived yesterday. Will be putting them on next Saturday. Gonna take her out for a spin to get some of the break in hours done tomorrow after church. Going to be dusting off the saltwater gear and puttin some fresh line on and harassing some of Phantoms pets over there as well as many other critters off the beach. Sure gonna be nice pulling Monroe and Harney this fall. Wont be getting tossed around near as much I reckon:biggrin

That's a nice rig Mister. I've had something similar to that bouncing around in my head for a while now. Fuel use will be super low. Congrats and good luck with it.

Not sure yet on fuel. But I can say it is absolutely quieter than the 40 Mercury was on all counts. Should know more on fuel burn in coming weeks. But not too concerned about the 90.

Yes there is a livewell under that helm seat. I am guessing about 30 gallon. With the leaning post option livewell moves to rear corner and might serve as crustation well. It is small. Rides out very nice. Took Monroe whitecaps today like nothing was there. She sure has a soft ride. Even softer than the Aquasport we had in Louisiana. Got the first 2 hours of break in done today and played a tad longer just to kinda see how she was gonna run. Was actually glad to see Monroe chopped up and dicey for the test. Very very happy.

Thats the plan. Except remove Tarpon and add kingfish, sharks, flounder, grouper, snapper, speckled trout and triggerfish. The only plus to the Federal regulations on snapper and grouper is Volusia county has been very active sinking debris in state waters. Crappieday said he is ready!

Nice boat Mike, I have been looking the last few months and found one I wanted but didn't pull the trigger fast enough. I called the dealer on Saturday and it's gone. Eileen is behind me on this so something else will come along. Wish you luck with your new ride.

No we did not. It was purely a shakedown run with new camper. Tried to figure out what if anything I was missing or we needed. With just a lil side trip to Nobles Marine:biggrin

I love it Mike.:ThumbsUp Sorry for the late response. Been camping and visiting in south central Tn. and the camprounds we stayed in had no phone service or wifi. No TV in one and 2 channels in the other.:Doh: Man it was great going back in time. lol. Looks like it barely fits, does it have a folding tongue on the trailer? That can be added, I did that once. Thought it would look better than a hole in the door. Hopefully I will take a ride in it next year, maybe even at Talquin.

Bet that was a great trip. It fits tight but not squeezed in there. Might put the swing tongue on at some point in future but mainly for added security. Hard to steal the trailer with pin removed trailer cocked a bit and lock back seperated.
