Title: BOAT PICTURES
Post by: blakstr1 on February 07, 2006, 07:59:06 AM
Since my boat is locked away in storage some 150 miles away from my house can't help but think about it EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY!? I know I'm not alone, let this serve as a post of dedication to our best friends on the water!? Let's see those rigs...

All the pictures I have of my boat are too large.  Here is the exact same year/model/color as mine except mine has windshields also.

Hey blake remember to stock up on those metal motorguide props thery're getting rid of them.  The pics look nice, reminds me of summer.  By the way Dan is that pic before or after droping you ob in the lake?  I would post a pic of mine but it's covered in snow and it would just be depressing.

My buddies got an astro similar to your's.  I like it quite a bit.  Very large deck and very good for rough or big water.  My vote goes to Minn Kota.  Thats all i'll say on that one.  Anyone know what happened to astro?  Just not selling enough boats/profit?

Don't know if I know how to get a picture in here. Do you add it as an attachment? What size is best?
Title: Re: BOAT PICTURES
Post by: Dan on February 08, 2006, 10:57:19 PM
By jobe I think I got it. Here's what you have to do if you stay out there and your boat freezes in. Start jigging for them walleyes. Just had a stringer mount made of four with two around ten and one over eight and one little seven pounder.

Bosshawg, I had the same boat. Same color only a single console though. Had it for years with a 150 Johnson on it and it never failed. After 10 years I upgraded to a 97 Jag with a 225 Johnson and I been dogged with little things - two lower units, blew a piston, and ignition difficulties since. I like the jags set up, but I miss the ole Skeeter. It was a quick boat. Nobody beat me out of the hole.
