Skeet's phat F650 12/27/2007

Check out what Skeet Reese will be driving next season – a custom Ford F650. The wrap will be done soon. Word is the rig cost about $130,000 and was done at a custom shop near Augusta, Ga. Wow.


I HOPE HE HAS A GOOD FUEL SPONSOR AS WELL!!

I think this is going a little to the extreme.  We have pro's now that practically drive semi trucks with trailers that haul their boat and normal truck, and their sponsors are paying the bill.  I am totally fine with that, as I would take it if someone was offering it to me, but at what cost to us does this happen?  Don't tell me that everytime I buy a Lucky Craft crank that part of my money is not going to fund Skeet's truck and gas, because I know it is.  If it wasn't for all the hype these guys are getting and the contracts, etc..., fishing tackle would still be affordable.
  What am I saying, I am still going to spend the money, so what the he.......

That is the most rediculous tow vehicle I have ever seen.  How fitting that it belongs Skeet. 
I am getting a bit sick of Bass FIshing own rat pack of Skeet, Ike, the G-man and the like.  Grow up!!!!   A KVD those boys will never be!!!!!

All the power too him! Golfers get millions in sponsership each year. Nice to see pro angelers get some perks too. Still no where the level of other sports!

Speaking of pro sponsors and stuff....

I see Jason Quinn is with Champion boats.

That 2008 210 Elite is one heck of a nice looking boat....
Say blakstr1, aren't you looking for a boat?!!!!  If you buy one of those I'll come along to net your fish just so I can ride in it!

The 210 is awesome, I sat in one...the console has enough room for any 6'-8, 350# guy...which means I could hardly reach the stearing wheel. :P 

As for a new boat...call Yogi and Boo-Boo because Ranger Blake is gunnin' for 'em.  ;D

No way, I think Blakes allergic to kitty hair.  And all those fur balls, not worth it.

I did see an old (I think it was a '78) Ranger last year for sale.  I was tempted to buy that!
