Well. Thought I would share the boat with everyone. I was worried as a novice about my lack of power boat eperience, and so wanted to have a deep V. My wife wanted a bass boat with some horsepower (go figure, maybe she is a keeper?). So she found a Legend alpha 199 at auction that was a deep V while having oomph and a bass platform. Best of both worlds. I thought I would share the boat and our first few trip results. And just for kicks thought I would throw in a picture I captured while checking game cameras. The picture is of our horses at sunset that just happened behind me.

I like how the boat matches the truck. Enjoy it every day you can. Our rule of thumb is if you don't use it sale it, so we try to average 4 times a week, but 7 days a week is better when the weather lets us. We would still be on the water if I hadn't started my restoration so early. (1983 Lund American Super Pike deep v)

Doesn't look like a deep V. Looks like a nice Bass Boat. 👍

Nice looking boat, sounds like you got everything you both wanted in one boat. Nice looking fish, good catching. That sunset and your horse’s pic would look good on a calendar, very nice. Thanks for sharing and hope to see more pics.

Sweet...40'+ of beautiful red !
And the horses/trees silhouetted against that sky.....just stellar. Thanks for including that shot. I would have that pic put on glass (that pop-up ad that I keep seeing) in a rather large format. Like was said....calendar-worthy, for sure.
