Post Pick up new ride next week


Not a mudboat, but still a sweet new ride. Just waiting on the ipilot, on board charger, and JL Audio system to get installed.

I remember you saying that. I have fished just about everywhere in Florida except chokoloskee. I will be ordering the Garmin 74dv next week. Then the powerpole blade shortly after. This is an awesome boat because my dad actually bought it :-)
I just have to buy all electronics and accessories. Hell of a deal.
The last flatsboat he bought was in 1999. He never once took the boat out on his own. He would only go if I would take him. He said he wanted a newer and safer flatsboat since his grandkids go out fishing on it all the time.

You definitely don't want to learn Chokoloskee in a brand new boat unless you have a good glass guy, B!

Looks a lot like the newer Redfishers. Although I'm sure Paul builds them much better.

Congrats.

Beautiful! I fished on one of their offshore CC rigs some years ago and that was an awesome boat, I'm sure they've just gotten better :D Congrats on the new ride!

Nice looking rig. Learning the glades is best done by going with a veteran! Getting to know it takes some work but it is a place to get away from it all

Definitely not doing the glades on my own. It will be with Dave and/or some of my buddies that fish there quite a bit. They have tried to get me to go in the past but it seems work or family obligations always got in the way.

I know Chokoloskee like the palm of my hand (intimately) :D! Been running it for over 20 years. About 10 years ago a buddy asked me if I ever run aground or get stuck. I said "me? ha no! I don't get stuck!!!" Right then I ran aground and got stuck!!! :lol: It happens! My bother knows it better than me, last time he got stuck it was for 10 hrs. I know where not to run on the falling tide.

You fish down there enough you are going to get stuck! I have a buddy that fishes down there damn near a couple days a week, except during the winter, and I have had to help push him off a sand bar!
