I would like to congratulate you, first for having such a loving wife who thinks so much of your happiness. Then I congratulate you on your new used boat. It looks very sharp and I look forward to seeing you post pictures of your many fish you reel in for many successful fishing trips.

Thanks everyone. I know it's not a big boat, but it's a nice boat that fits my budget and my fishing style. I like to travel around Michigan and fish several different inland lakes. This is my first original topic post since becoming a member of the group, I hope to post up some good fish pics. Thanks again, Be Safe and Enjoy the Waters !!

I found and bought the boat. The real gift was her "Permission" to do so !! I told my 3 boys when they were in college, "Buy your "Toys" before you get married, cause after that you'll need her approval.

Congrats on the new rig Clappy! Time to get it wet… that 30HP e-tech is a fine motor… I ran one on a 16’er for 8 years… I loved that motor!!! Should push you along pretty good!

Clappy congratulations on the boat brother 👍😊.

The size of the boat only puts limits on the water you can safely use it on.

It doesn't limit the amount of pleasure it will give you n your wife 👍

I have 3 boats a 1981 17' glastron a 1754 tracker n a 9' plastic pond boat.
Some of my most enjoyable days was on a small body of water in the little pond boat.

Hope you enjoy it for many yrs to come brother.
Often it's about the company 😃
