Title: my boat upgrade
Post by: boblee on Apr 20, 2008, 08:08 PM

so after a long time with my 12 foot, trolling motor powered, crappie catchin,bass chasin, heat seaking, fishin boat. i finally upgraded to a nicer fishing boat. A 16 foot tracker with a 40hp oil injected johnson with power tilt and trim, a livewell, dry storage, fish finder, bow mounted trolling motor.  now all i need is for the darn ice to melt.  heres some pics of my old boat, that i customized by adding carpeted seats and a home made rod locker.  and some pics of my new boat.

Was just looking at the photos again and didn't realize it. In the second pic, did the boat come with satellite TV?........ ;D

Indeed it does, and the fish finder doubles as the tv screen!
