[QUOTE="summers, post: 199373, member: 4068"] thanks toothpick, I try and take him every where with me hes a good kid and right now all he wants to do is just help no matter what I am doing. On a side note i had a few open hours tonight so I took the boat out for the first time since the day i bought it. With this being my first boat it did take me a while to get the feel of the tiller. I did get a few positive feedback complements from a few of the fiberglass owners at the ramp. Even more was the look when I launched the boat with my subaru forester. One guy kind of a wise guy says that little thing going to pull that boat out of the water I just smiled and said yep and I get 25 mpg in the city as he was leaning up against his one ton crew cab. I did not have any luck catching in fish but I have to say it was nice to just be on he water, with just me in the boat its heavy to the side i sit so i am going to have to watch it. My next learning curve is going to be playing with the tilt. The only bad thing from today is it looks like my transducer is not low enough while i am on plane because it just reads 0 but works perfectly up until that point. I got moving from the no wake zone and turned it on started to watch the depth 40, 50, 80, 130, 170, 240, 490, then i reached the plane. i knew that the lake was deep just not that deep. I am going to fiddle with it and see what i can do. I know there are no pictures but i was just to excited to think about stopping to take a few pictures. [/QUOTE]
