Aluminum boats and a good motor will give you more good times than grief…

Hanco, you get to go out on it when you want and no work, you have it made! My boat is 40 this year. Upgraded the steering to hydraulic. Just fired it up on the muffs, up all systems are ready. Our favorite place Roosevelt Lake is filling up too. Just hit 87%. Hope everyone has a great boating season!

Good move, hanco. Very generous.
And no more wax on wax off. BTDT.
Just fishing.
LOL. Gave the other daughter a truck, had to give the other something too Know how that goes, hanco. Gotta keep the gift giving as equal as possible. Requires some planning and deeper thought sometimes. I'm in a bit of a quandary right now. Lol.

Nice looking boat.
They are fun as long as they are kept up.
And you use them often.

I HATE the wake boats that are on lakes upnort.
Hope they all sink.
Regular ski boats are somewhat tolerable.

I am 6 weeks away from owning 3 boats. 18 foot Alumnacraft, 15 foot Lund and soon a 20 foot Carolina skiff that will be transformed into a waterfowl boat.
I live to be on the water. I love every second of it. Some people think I should have gills.
Can’t imagine a life without a boat.
