Well I sold my boat a little over a week ago. I secured a new boat (to me at least) and went to South Carolina yesterday with Brett and we picked her up.
A big shout out to my buddy Bill Carson for turning me on to this boat, Thanks Bill, and to Brett as well for taking a day out and going with me.

Brett and I braved the cold winds, to take her out for the maiden voyage, for a few hours today, to give her the test run. We had been fishing for about less than 2 hours and got the stinky out of the new ride, with two fish in the heavy winds. So it looks a though I am going to have to keep the boat now...LOL

So far I am very happy with the new ride and look forward to many more trips in her. Here are a few pics of the new lucky boat!!!













By the way she swims on for someone else to have fun with her one day.

Great looking boat (and fish) Dan. Congrats my friend.

Wow! Dan, I am very impressed with the boat and fish. My daughter played golf today in the 36 degree temperature. I was freezing, and I know those fish helped get the body heat flowing. I can't wait to see her. Do you still park her at your old location? I'll have to get by and take a look, but that depends if we can take a day away from golf.

Awesome boat. Looks like the big fish have showed up.

Congratulations on your new Lanier PB! You deserved it.

That is a heck of a way to start out with the new boat! I hope you buy a loto ticket;-) Congrats on both the fish and the boat and way to brake her in!!!

Sexy. Those things are beautiful. Do you have any other plans, mod-wise, for her?

Oh one more thing. What did you name it? Funky Dunky?

Nice job and awesome ride. Maybe one day you will have a open seat for me and show me how to get those big fish.

Funky Dunky....I like it...specially after those funky swirls around Dan's head;-)

Congrats Dan, awesome looking ride and fish. How big was she (the fish) . Can't wait to get back to fishing on the new ride with you guys.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! you know I appreciate it. Bill I think everyone knows that swirling is what goes on in my head...LOL

DanMan,

(I ain't talkin to DanBoy now.)

That is one heck of a boat and fish you got there. Congrats Man!!! I have to say, I am kind of glad you did not catch it Feb 26th though.

You and Brett now have 2 "CUDOZ" from me.

(1) You fished the Jan Oakwoood tournament, when I let the weather put me back into the bed.

(2) You fished today, when I again let the weather keep the boat in the garage.

Congrats again DanMan!

It just shows - though's who get out and try win!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go Dan!!!! Nice ride. Can't wait to take a ride in her. See you on the lake.

Wow! Could'nt decide if the boat or the fish was more impressive. Both very, very nice! Congrats.

Dan, Congrats on the very nice new boat....Great way to break it in under very wintery conditions...Congrats again Dan....

WTG Dan! I love it.

That's one sweet ride, Dan. Congrat's on getting such a fine boat. It's just beautiful.

And, of course, congrat's on that monster striper, guys! That's a BIG day yesterday for sure. It was good seeing you both out there.

I guess you don't need a big boat to catch big fish, but, it doesn't hurt.

Very Nice! What were the measurements in those fish?

I got dibs on top bunk!

I got dibs on "shot gun"...;-)

Very nice looking boat! Rod holder in back looks cool.

Nice boat Dan, I know you are gonna love it. Way to break it in also. Great looking fish.
