first time out!
 

We went the Illinois river on Good Friday ,4-14-06 April in Il is unheard of for boating , but it was 87 out side ,the water was cold but the wife and I never got wet beyond our calves so it was all good . Our STINGER handled very well. The water was rough going down river ,very rough, I felt like just pulling over and getting out, but I kept her throttled up and skipped wave to wave, quite an experience for a couple newbies like us . I'd not wanted any less boat under us that for certain ! We can't wait till we can go again.

first time out each season up here is great. we got our first day a week ago sunday. took out my little boat but the new ride goes in in the next few weeks, cant wait. actually i think i might be able to get my 260 out one more time before i pass on the keys to the new owner. told him i would give it the spring shake down to make sure everything is good. :cool: :cool: :D
