Given the blessing to ‘upgrade’.....

I have busted my butt the past few years at the cost of my free time.
It’s appears not to have gone completely unnoticed. Out of the blue the wife asked if I was interested in getting that ‘last’ dream boat before the days of not possibly being physically able to do so and enjoy it.

She knows I’ve done my research over the years and is fully expectant ‘now’.

Spent the last two days hunting......... War Eagle Blackhawk 2170 fills the bill. Helix 10 Mega SI already on the way.

I anticipate a drive out of state in my near future :biggrin
And the sale of a well loved Tracker to follow.

Wow...21 ft., I'm scared for the specks already for the amount of poles you could rig it with & that 98" beam should be plenty stable in most any wind conditions....you've covered the work hard part, now you deserve the "play" hard...look forward to seeing the end product:highfive

nice, Stu, what are you hanging on the back? Cool rig to modify into a stick-steering boat, self-deploying front mount...never have to leave the front seat!! j/k kinda.

Outstanding ,Glad you could do it RR

I know you have talked about it for a while, congrats and great choice. Cant wait to see pics. Man you picked a great boat but a dang tough one to find. I dont even know of a War Eagle dealer in Florida. I do love their boats though. In fact my first was a Duracraft which is the original Ward family business. That was clear back in 1982 and it was used when we bought it.

Wow, great choice. Congrats on the new slowride:highfive

Good luck with the new ride Stu.

You can hide the fisherman, but not his proficiency, Don.

Narrowed down a good dealer. A trip up to Georgia next.

I’ve decided to build to my specs....... not necessarily what’s on a lot somewhere. I’m trying to slow roll this just a bit understanding I’ve probably have one shot at this....... the last boat......marriage for life moving forward. It’s consuming a lot of my waking moments and free time right now.... lol...... and I’m trying to play it cool in front of the wife.... but......it’s frigging difficult!

I would order with aluminum trailer and saltwater trolling motor just in case if thats your forever boat. Bet it will be an amazing "ride"

Heck with cool. Let her know you ARE excited! I sure would be.
