I have been working on my boat hard the past month to get it ready and it is finally ready! I was going to take it out yesterday but it rained. SO i am taking it out after work. Lets hope the bilge pump works along with everything else I had to rewire. THe bilge pump turned on but you never know the full effect until you get it out on the water. Wish me Luck!!!!

well, we got out there on a local lake just electric no gas motors...and it was windy. But we decided to go ahead and put it out to make sure everything worked. Well, everything worked great, and for a 27 year old boat it is very stable in high wind and choppy water. the boat didn't rock or anything. THe livewell works, the aerator works, and most importantly the bilge pump works. While i was figuring out the trolling motor and trying to get my fishing partner closer to the bank on his 3rd cast he had a 3lber kill a spinnerbait. He caught another 1lber later on and on our way back i had two bites that came off and then we saw a 8lber or so swimming in the shallows in one of the clam areas but it would not bite anything. BUt everything works, so i am happy!!!! Heading back out saturday!!!
