...and she's finally in the driveway!

Re: ...and she's finally in the driveway!

Thanks, guys. Yeah, I paid more than $10k. $18.5k, to be exact...but she's brand new with a 5 yr warranty on the propulsion system and lifetime on the hull.

And I take small offense to the 'rust buckets' comment. There's only one rust bucket over there...and I brought that home on Friday so I could swap the working 5 speed transmission and all the fixins into the other truck (which had an automatic until it blew up on me earlier this month.

Beautiful boat. Look at the iboats store and order a bimini

I like the trucks! Ahhhh the minute mount frame (most of the Southern iboater's probably don't recognize that ) and the flat bed. Most plow trucks take on that configuration sometime in their life. True work truck.

My only comment would be to flip the jack leg to the other side of the tongue ........ you will remember that statement the first time you slam into with your leg it while cranking the boat in.

Ha! You know, I'm not even going to test my memory...I'm just going to flip it before hand and save myself some pain.

Re: ...and she's finally in the driveway!

My jack is on that side too, what's the issue with it being there?

That is a great looking boat BTW!
I love my cummins powere truck, albeit it's the next body style.
I do have an old, 1990 plow truck.

Well I have slam my leg into it when it is on the winch handle side...... Plow trucks need rust to work No rust and it's not a real plow truck!

That makes sense, I'm sure I'll slam my leg into it next trip!

My plow truck is about to be either sold to a friend for parts, or hauled to the junkyard. I'm keeping the Western plow though, just need a frame for my 1998.5 Ram.

Man, what a God ugly boat you have. You ought to wrap that up and let me come get it. I'll stick her in a spot that none will see her. Well, except when I am cruising around the lake, oh and driving to the ramp..

Nice looking boat. I am glad someone has a different color other than the traditional red, blue, black or yellow. My next boat will be of a non traditional color.

Man.......wish I had 18.5 laying around.

I paid 10k for a bayliner (with every option and type of cover + trailer)

It's a beautiful boat, but I'm ready for something more like yours......lets see some more pics......your inside pictures dont show much.. One big overview pic of the whole inside.

Re: ...and she's finally in the driveway!

That is a sweet vessel..I love the color and the exhaust is WAY cool....may you have many nautical miles of smiles with her........... good idea about switching the jack to the other side...just made it one of tomorrows projects on my rig's to do list ...

Re: ...and she's finally in the driveway!

Just wondering here...is there a reason the winch tower is as tall as it is ? I have seen that set-up before and I can not see any mechanical advantage to it being that tall beyond the winch mount...just wondering...

Extremely sharp looking. Love the color too.

I believe it's just universal so it can be used on different trailers and different boats...or at least that is my guess.

Re: ...and she's finally in the driveway!

WOW, great colour and I agree that the out drive looks slick.....including the exhaust design.

Did I miss it somewhere, what size of engine?

You 'must' take vids and pics of your first time out!

Have a great summer......

Sweet looking boat... I'm sure you'll be glad to finish that course this week and get it splashed on the weekend.
