I decided to dunk my son's 18SF after doing initial engine rigging...here are some pictures of the boat, my neighbor also decided to come along...was a great time! Still lots to do yet!!!

:D

That last picture says it all!!! Some happy smiles!! Very nice!!

Congratulations! Looks great and floats nice and high.

Have you named the boat. My suggestion is Memory Maker.

Looks like fun, Fred! Did the boss let you drive?

Hooper drives the boat Chief.

Thanks guys for the comments....yes we had a great time...especially the boss..I was paid by the boss in hugs, kisses and smiles, plus a thank you daddy....I will take that any day:)!!!!!
BiLew---good idea for boat name...
I was allowed to drive the boat for a couple minutes:D

Looks like a great time
I remember the first time my son five at the time docked our boat a 28' pull straight into the dock spa e with my coaching to the amazement on the neighbors.

Fred, the boat looks awesome!

Memorial Day Trout
 

Got the boat dirty. The guy in blue shirt is from Cedar Key, doesn't want to go home!

Hummmm....looks like Trout to me. Soooo....per the regulations for the NW region which is "5 per harvester per day N.W. Region" you must of had a BUNCH of folks on the boat.

Don,
T-Man is from Looziana. His guest is from Cedar Key. Looziana has a 25 per person limit on trout and a 5 per person on Redfish.

Nice haul, but I don't like to take more trout than I can eat in a day or two. IMHO, it's good fresh, but doesn't freeze well.

How true Dave!! Kinda like dolphin, it's a fish that's good six to eight months frozen, then it starts to dry out....even in the vacuum bags. Some fish hold up much better frozen for long periods than others. Seeya

By the time ya cut out all dem worms ya ain't got enuff to throw on da grits anyhoo...

BTW: I'm a Coon Ass also :p
