UmmmmHmmmm...something about a ClackaCraft. I just got back from a marathon trip to Idaho Falls to pick up the new drift boat. Bought it from a nice family, and they seemed to hook me up with the family bro discount. I am amazed at the condition of this boat. Minty! My wife and daughter have already named her, Miss Racy. She is that! Stoked and taking a personal day Friday for the maiden voyage.
Was thinking about fishing? Uhh, not today. Didn't buy the boat here but nice weather report. Wanted to check a few boats I was looking at in person. Closed.LOL.:  Wishin' I was fishin' this stretch today. Cover is a bonus!:   Didn't fish or snowboard today. I was just too excited to show my family our new fun unit:    Like they say, if momma is happy, everyone is happy:

Congrats, what a nifty boat. Brings back memories
from when our family bought a boat. Don't forget the PFDs. And I think in Wyoming you'll need a throw bag ie. safety rope. Which reminds me . . . -k- |

Love to take it out with you when we get a chance...... It is a 2001 16 foot lowpro standard. Unfortunately, I did not get the same deal that I heard you got, but I am happy with the price I paid. I got the cover, trolling motor, fish finder (won't use that), four oars in the deal. I cannot complain. The boat is mint and super clean. Looks like it has been on the water 10 times and stored inside. Now my truck stays out and the boat in. What is up with that? Taking her out on Friday to that one place you go a lot. Looks like 40 degrees and sunny. Then snowboarding for the next three days. Damn, life is tough. Looks like my old team won Ron Thon! down under yah! Too bad we couldn't do it when I wrestled for them. I guess they also beat Gillette in a dual which had not been done in eight years. Your boys gonna be ready for state? -------------------- |

Central is TOUGH! I think we are coming along okay, we will see about it when the wolverines come to town tomorrow. Good Luck Friday! Should be fishing well. Three weeks, and we can try out the boat... |
