My fishing buddy Brent Dworaczyk and I drove to Pensacola, Florida and picked it up this past Saturday. It has a full-on Furuno Navnet system with radar, GPS plotter, Fishfinder sounder, 10.4"color monitor with integrated marine VHF and Sirus weather sat unit with radio and CD player. It has a fiberglass T-top with Taco Grand Slam outriggers. It even came with an aluminum dual axle trailer. If anything - this boat is over equipped as it was a factory demo model. On a test run, we got 40 MPH top end with the Suzuki DF140 4 stroke running flat out. Quick enough for us. Boat handled 2-ft chop in Pensacola Bay with no spray and a smooth ride.

We will add a 10" set back electric jackplate and re-do the rear deck arrangement with some new aluminum for better seating, cooler and round live bait well. Finally, we will add some LED lighting: green underwater, white speader lights for bow and stern decks, red strips under gunnel and a RC HID spot low mounted under radar horizon on T-top. We plan to do some night fishing to avoid heat and idiots.

Boat will be stored safely under secure roof in Port O' Connor area.

We should be easy to spot - not many boats in our area look like this one. White interior, Seafoam green exterior with dark Navy bottom

damn nice rig Flakman! I moved up to Houston from Corpus and was wondering how POC fishing was, if your in Conroe it must be pretty decent in order for you to pass Galveston and East Matagorda!!
