Well, I've been looking at boats for weeks. I've looked at boats ranging from 15' to 20', fiberglass, aluminum, 4 stroke, 2 stroke, center console, side console and everything else! I decided I really wanted an all fiberglass, center console boat between 15 and 17 feet. The problem was, in boats that fit that criteria, there was pretty much no storage at all. Well, I found myself a 15' CC that has a ton of storage!
It's a 2002 Key West with a 50hp Yamaha 2 stroke. It's got lots of storage and rod holders, plus a Bass seat up front with a saltwater series trolling motor. It's pretty much perfect - like brand new - as it has been used very little and always garaged. It's eve sitting on an aluminum trailer. I think this will be a great boat for me and my 2 small kids to go out fishing on the local lakes. Plus, I really think it will do the trick for the occassional 2-guy stiper excursion in the river and even some flounder fishing 1/2 mile out on a nice day.
I couldn't be happier. I'm getting the boat for a great price and I think it will last me until my kids are older and are ready for more serious fishing. My offer was accepted yesterday (consignment boat) but the owner is away on vacation. The salesman is hoping we can take care of everything via fax today so I can get the boat home. I hope so, since I'm leaving for a week vacation tomorrow and I'll feel a lot better knowing the boat is in my garage. If not I'll just pick it up when I get home.
Just thought I'd share my excitement!
