FINALLY!!!!!!!

Convinced the boss to let me get a boat, and so I capitalized on the situation. Found this sweet little boat on craigslist, and the price was just right.

It's a 17' Logic Center console (I think now they are called Triumph Boats). Came with a decent trolling motor, and John at Oakwood B&T tells me I should be able to upgrade it to a Co-Pilot. She needs a few things to make her a striper machine, but I got the big part out of the way. Can't wait to git 'er on the water.





She will need a bait tank, along with some other things but it's not a bad start at all.

Hope to see you guys on the pond.

Tight Lines,
-Marc

Good for you, Mark. You've waited a long time to get into a boat. I love compact, striper machines that will cut through the chop. That vessel should fit you just fine. grin

It ain't a striper boat until you've pee'd, puked, spilled a beer, spit snuff in the floor and installed a bait tank. Lemme know when you need help with any of that (other than installing the bait tank).

Glad you gotta boat. Good luck fishing.

Congrats Marc, I still have the used heavy duty Drift Master rod holders for your boat. I did tell you when you got one they would be waiting on you all you have to do is buy the mounts. They are both left hand threads and they're your's if you still want them. Let me know and I'll leave the with Oakwood B&T.
