Sounds pretty sweet. Are you going to have the bottom rhino lined?

Steve: my wife didn't want me to sell the Classic, she still refers to it as the best boat ever made. She is all about getting this boat, we are looking forward to getting it.

Thumper: I just got back from looking at Trolling motors, would you get the 55 V2 again or something else? Be glad to take you for a ride, might have to tow you behind your jet ;)

Mike: we plan on taking it and getting Line-X before we bring it home.

Pugar said the boat would weigh around 270 lbs.

everyone keep their eyes open for a 20/25 hp jet ;D

Cool beans man.

So, are they gonna charge you extra to check that as baggage when you fly out here?  Would be great on the lake here and over on the Missourri!! 
Yesterday, I was at the bottom. I was at the bottom of a valley, in the river. Then my eyes hiked up the mountains to the snow capped peaks. I thought, "When I am at this lowest place I can be, standing in a river, everything is looking up."

don't think I've told you, I found out last weekend that I'm scheduled to work the July shutdown. We need to talk about other possible dates, did I hear someone say HOPPERS ;)

cool, sounds like a neat set up. I hear the Line-X has come out with a super slick finish now.
I still wonder what effect that will have on a hull waranty though :-\ if any.
