New Boat in service Tomorrow

Just so some of you Arkansas boys don't mistake me for someone else, the new boat will be in service starting tomorrow. If you're going to get a new boat and rig it out for yourself, I recommend doing it during the winter. It sure has been hot while working on her. Yep, her name is "Fat Bottom Girl 2" and that's my wife's ringtone too and she don't like it much, but that's okay they're still rank up there in the top of what I love.

Looks like a fish catching machine....Congrats. on your new ride.

Nice darryl, I know what you mean about rigging in the Winter. I have been changing themotor on my pontoon in the afternoon after work.

sweet boat

Good looking rig I guess we`ll be in her in October!

Sounds good Greg. Just got a call from my wife who saw the pictures. Wanted to have a word with me about the boat's name. She wanted to know who Fat Bottom Girl 1 was. I explained that it is my old Kenner boat (I never had her lettered but that is what I called her). Then I realized she was thinking I was calling her the first fat bottom girl. I bout fell off the couch, had to call her back I was laughing so hard. Guess it could go either way though, LOL. That's just classic. I enjoy multi-tasking.

Oh, and I really should give credit where credit is due. This is a Jerry Blake design. His boat is configured the same and truly is a great layout and configuration. They are very versitile for all kinds of fishing.

Looks good Darryl. Only one problem. No fish slim. I hope gets lots of good use and broke in well. oh yea, that's my seat front center right by the live well.

Hope to be down soon to get my last trip that I missed. What did you do with the old boat? Started to say Flat Bottom 1. But don't want in the middle of that.

nice rig

Very nice rig. I never fished in Number 1, but that looks like the same layout of Jerry's. You guys have this down to a science man! Can't wait till Fall CC

Sweet

What happens to the yellow bus now? Keep it running Grubby. The Kenner is a little big for me to be pulling around with my boat.

BTW
My wife claims the toon boat while I claim the fishing boat. I think I will try my luck and start refering to the toon boat as "Her Wide Bottom" and see what happens. You still got an extra sofa Darryl?

Son! That's one lean, mean fishin' machine! I am absolutely green with envy!

I wouldn't know how to act in a rig like that. Looks like you pulled out all the stops on this one...and it's always good to have a friend that will share his time-tested lay-out.

Can't get over it! Guess I'll just have to get back to 'real life.' :D

Hey DP the yellow boat hasn't let me down since that weekend. I'll still use it on the rivers and all the ruff areas so I don't scratch up FB#1. My wife was nice enough to let me have the Kenner I'm going to have to make that boat last me for a long long time. She even said she would fish with me more often when I get the Kenner. I think she wants it just as much as I do.

OMG Darryl.. I almost choked when I read about your wife and the boat name. I saw your new boat when you posted it and thought about replying with a wisecrack about naming it after me! That is just too funny.

She sure looks nice though. Lot of work went into it, no doubt. Grubby is gonna feel all "uptown" now with the Kenner. I hope you guys enjoy them and make LOTS of great memories with them. :)

I bet the ride is a lot smoother!
I do like the set-up. I'll have to keep that in mind!

Congratulations Darryl!

Absolutely outstanding fishing machine you have acquired. Sure do miss seeing you zipping around Lake Hamilton. Looks like things are going well.

Beautiful boat Darryl. Guess Fran and I are going to have to get a crew together when it gets cooler and get trip set up with you. See if we can't take some of the shine off it.
