Well its been a couple of weeks since oncall and I made the trip south to pick up my new PIMP ride!! First off let me say Brother and his family are FINE FOLKS! When i got the call that it was ready he told me to come down and plan on stayin the weekend, and let me tell ya its a GREAT time with a bad hangover for a 9 hr trip home but well worthi it!!!

This is tank of a hull!!! Dont think i will have to worry bout the welds crackin as per Dguidry cause they look like a row of laid over dimes and Brother told me that when he saw Dguidry's post he switched over to Kryptonite wire to finish the welding! :twisted: There is ZERO flex or twist in this hull!!!!

Oncall looks like a rooster.. He is standing on one foot... Must be a homosexual type of thing....



Boat Looks good.

That navigator looks like a cool dude! As for "On Call" I think it more like a pink Flamingo.

Damn fine looking boat!

One question...... Is the crimp in the side housing some round tubing to route fuel line and wires or is it capped with something? Hard to tell on my monitor how it's configured, but I like the idea of the lines being up off the floor.

Owen--Yeah we killed quite a few 10oz buddah lights that night, dont let him lie to ya we were f'd up like a chicken wire canoe!

Full Throttle--camo designs painted it...and did a hell of a job...after seeing oncalls natgear i like it alot and we hunt around alot of grass and cattails so i had em put a few here and there also they put heavy non-skid on floors and gunnels. I rigged everything else myself....wiring, h/t on boxes, hatch lock etc...

Thanks all for the comments! Cant thank brother enuf, this is the boat i been wanting a long time...for now its perfect for me, but im sure i forgot something!!!!!

Thanks owen! I LOVE this thing! Seems like the motor is really getting loose the more hrs i put on it. Had two guys 230 apiece and an 80lb lab, 2 batts, trolling motor, and ice chest and it was running 26-28 easily! Got some video of some shallow stuff w/ veggies and stumps, flooding like crazy round here so not much mud to be found gonna try to get it posted this week.
