A Gift From A Member

One of our super nice members apparently contacted Slab about a member who could use a boat. Our illustrious leader Slab asked me if I could use a boat. I said sure. He put the member in touch with me, and I am now the owner of a 20ft Playcraft Pontoon boat. It came Boat, Motor and Trailer, Power Drive Trolling Motor, Garmin Live Scope (complete), and a 5" Garmin Striker on the console...
All I had to do is go get it. A drive of about 20 miles...of coarse I said yes. I must say, and will always say, Our Crappie.Com Members are an outstanding bunch of folks...I not only want to thank Slab, th anonymous member, but the Lord upstairs for this most generous blessing. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Sweet! I hope you get lots of use and good times out of it.

Very nice! Very generous of the anonymous member too. Hope it brings you many good memories, coolers full of good eats and time on the water.

We have a wonderful family here. Crappie.com members are the absolute best.

Yes, That is the game plan. Only have one slight delay of getting the legalities taken care of first. Transfer of tittles, boat registration as the sticker on it is for '24...Like to stay on the good side of Mr/Miss or Mrs Green Jeans...Then we'll get it slimmed up. Pic's to come.

Heck, you just aquired it, they'll understand. Show them the pics of the paperwork if they stops you, Tell them you're a member of crappie.com and a veteran, they'll let you go, I'm guessing! lol

Awesome!

Wow that's awsome.

Wow! That's a pretty awesome gesture/gift. Enjoy and don't forget to pass it forward someday. It's stories like this that remind me that there are still good people out there. If more people went fishing instead of being on social media the world would be a better place!

I agree. However... I spend a good deal of time on here myself. Looking at fishing videos and spending time here on C.C. But all that will change really soon. I need to get familiar with my gift in a good way, which will start soon enough...

That kind of social media is fine, it's good and positive, I was more referring more to all the negative videos and how the news focuses on just the bad things that happen...so much negativity. Crappie.com is breath of fresh air!

All Papers signed and filled out. Waiting on my pay check the first to transfer. Insured already...Wont be long I hope for the maiden voyage as mine. I know momma's Jeep don't like pullen it. Trans on my truck wont shift into third. Shop wants to put a new rebuilt $4000.00 transmission in it to find a short not allowing it to shift. Sounds like a scam to me...

Congrats on the boat Eric, well deserved. I’m sure that you’ll put it to good use. We do have the best family here. I’ve been though some good times and some bad times and y’all have always had my back. The giver is an excellent example. Now for a good cleaning and more CDC stickers to make it complete.

JUST WOW bro .....how cool is that ....and just in time for the fall feed up ....
looks like a mighty fine water vessel to me .....

Yes Sir, for sure. Used The Big card at Menards and bought a 16'x25' Tarp and 2 tubes of bungie cords to do the job till I can get me an actual form fitting tarp fer it. Got it bundled up like a bug in a rug...

Momma, Ms Joyce says she wants a grill on there. She wants some gumbo while fishin', so it might be a On the floatin' Dock Restaurant fishin spot...Ha, Ha, Ha....

Look at these Eric......for the price, can't be beat

Congrats old friend and to the folks that done that for you my hat is off to you if you want to contact me you will have a lifelong discount at simplycrappie.....Give me a holler Eric i will get you some stuff together you will need plenty of tackle on that new ride.

Cool Bugman. That's awesome my friend. Will call in a bit...

Well Round one, weather won the battle. Tarped the Toon up, but no risers in the front area due to storms coming in fast. Flat area in front of console filled with water and tarp split before I could get to it and pump it out. Bought extra HD tarp 12mls thick, some 2x4's and have cut them to make some uprights 4.5' tall with some scrap pieces along top, to hold 2x4 piece between the two on top. then tarp over that to make a top like a pup tent so water etc. will run off. Then Pray it works. going over to storage tomorrow as soon as suns up to warm things up...
