TC, did you get a new truck since last summer? I saw a white chevy turning off Apalachee onto Capital Circle pulling a new Key West, about 5.45 Saturday morning, and wondered if it was you.

Why didn't you get the big trolling motor? BTW your partner is a better fisherman than he is a poker player.

If it was any bigger he would need a winch to lift it.....Talk about having a big head

Nice TC, real nice.

Thanks, guys.

Tom, that's the only 24 volt hand controlled they make now. I could have probably gotten by with a 52" shaft. but that would have been the only difference. All of the 24 volt and 36 volt hand controlled motors are the 3X series, now. They're just plain ole big.

Ken, I was turning off the Parkway onto Capital Circle about 0545 Saturday morning. And yes, I do have a different truck. It's a white Ford F250, crew cab.

TC, This truly does look like a nice ride.
When are you gonna do some homemade modifications on it to give it that trademark character?

You know, I was thinkin'...if that's your idea of a Tin Can, what's your idea of nice??

That was the first time I remembered to bring the camera on the boat, and running into you out there was quite a welcome suprise.

Thanks for the time you spent helping me keep the Tin Can II ship-shape. It is the project of a lifetime.

Is that electric motor for real or PHOTOSHOP?

Beautiful boat!

Eerman, there's a story behind the name. I'll tell ya the story over a cold brew sometime. This is the first new boat I've ever owned. It's not the nicest ride on the water, but it ain't junk, either. I'm very pleased with the boat.
