I would, but I'm at work today and heading straight south when I leave here. Got the boat loaded down in the parking lot and Jamal learning how to take front end loaders apart in the mechanics' shop!

Man that rig looks great, I think there should be one in Northern, Alberta Canada maybe next year sometime it truly would be one of a kind up here. Great work I hope you can assemble the same team again in the future. AR I can't wait for a full run down and if there should have been additions or omissions.

Later

Got home safe n sound. The boat, motor, and trailer are awesome.

Got Church, family, and some work to do so it will be mid week before I get to run it if all goes well. I'll keep y'all updated and will try to play with it to check some speeds and such.

The boat was turning heads all the way home. People were driving up beside me and staying even with the boat, checking it out at at each quick stop, and looking at it with every pass. It was kinda funny.

I'll try and get some more pics tomorrow. Daniel put a storage mount inside the deck for the winch. It's pretty cool.

The pictures really don't do this thing justice. It looks so much better in person.

Phil,

I understand. The winter weather hit us pretty good. The only water we have open is the deep stuff and rivers. We got some snow which was then covered with ice. It then melted and froze enough to make it a solid sheet if ice. Roads are drivable and hopefully today they will get better. We've been below freezing for days and that's abnormal for us.

Hopefully latter this week I'll have some more pictures and info for ya.

Pics of the winch. I hope to replace the winch cable with a synthetic one soon. The winch can be mounted in a couple of places, mainly front or rear. It has a storage mount under the front deck.

I really like these seats. They are known for making deer stands and are based out of Mississippi. They just started making boat seat. They are light weight and seem strong. They come in white, gray, and green. They were $80-$90.

Millennium boat seat B-100

If I quit hangin out on here then that will be the true scouting report. :lol:

If we get the rain they are talking about things might get right. This stupid weather messed us up. Where I am we are just starting to get some water. The ducks should be showing up soon. I'm ready to see some dead birds in that boat too.

Goin huntin tomorrow with some friends. Taking their boat. I just want to kill some.

The seats are very nice. Millennium has a separate marine site and it's not too good. The lady at the factory said they are just starting that side of the business. $89.99

http://www.mackspw.com/Item--i-HSOB100-GRN

Millennium Marine site
http://www.millenniummarine.com/index.p ... ommon/home

They say:
As a Millennium Marine exclusive, the patented comfortMax Seat is designed for years of solid use. It will not hold dew on those early morning fishing trips, drains water even in a downpour, and dries quickly - so say goodbye to wet seats. Unlike other seats made of exposed foam or rubber that breakdown and rot, the ComfortMax seat will excel in use in all temperatures and weather conditions. The seat is also great in green for duck blinds and shooting houses. Arm rest straps on B100 are optional
