Joined the Cult. Finally!
 
Well I joned the Cult. Cant be more excited. Sold my Checkmate and heading down to Fast Boats Thursday night to pick the 32 up.

Funny Story. It was tfarmer's boat that lived no more than 5 miles from me. Been trying to get my hands on this boat for 3 years now. He traded it and everything fell in place. Going to bring it back to where she belongs. Ky Lake! Cannot wait for Summer.

Thats what I was really hoping to get. Ive searched and searched. Been on many boats and this 32 always seemed to ride and handle better to me. Happy to have a piece of history.

Ive been hitting them up since it was traded pretty hard. The right buyer for the Checkmate finally came along and snatched it up. Gonna miss that boat but twins are always better :evilb:

boat buying road trips are awesome , until you get home late sunday and realize you gotta go to work in a few hours . me and a buddy drove straight to michigan 750miles , slept drove straight back home . its crazy what we will do for a boat , or in my wifes words '' a stupid boat ''

A few years ago I bought a boat online...Flew out to Chicago with my mom, rented an Expedition and towed it 2200 miles back to Seattle. Thats a roadtrip I will never forget...It was awesome!

Totally understand that. I love boat road trips. We're leaving Thursday night, get there around noon Friday, take care of all the paperwork then off to the Resort for some down time:drink::ernaehrung004:Leave Saturday Morning and head back. Looking like 16 hours each way, 1000 miles each way. Yuck!

Damn skippy Steve! I think I had a smile the whole way home from New York!

Will likely pass you on the road Friday or Saturday morning! Leaving on our boat road trip tomorrow afternoon...Paducah, KY for the first night, then down to Port St. Lucie for Friday night. Getting up and heading down to meet Pat in Pompano Saturday morning. However, since the wife has next week off for spring break, we'll be spending some time on the water before rolling back the following Friday.

Whew Im ready. Im in greenville this week and I've had a few sleepless nights. I've had 5 boats and this is the one I'm the most excited about.

matthewr 03-30-2013 12:42 PM

Well we picked her up. Went to the local ramp and seen sommersfliesby with his sweeeet 37. AT Shop was closed today so we didn't get to go. Stayed on the beach last night. Florida is to much fun!
