Beutyful rig Atticus. Lot's trout gonna disappear because of it. One of my biggest pleasures is getting all the "extras" installed in a new rig. Go to it.
I haven't learned how to send more that 1 picture at a time to the forum. How do you send more than one?

Sweet ride, Luke....No platform on the back?
Do some research on hewes.com forum and see what the recommended prop is for it, if you haven't already.
Good looking boat....Can't wait to read your fishnig reports

Thanks guys. Its been years waiting to make this post.
No platform because it saved me some money, some weight and I figured I didn't spend all that money on the MK RT 80 to poll myself around. It was looking like a $1000 seat in the end. Might install one later. It has trim tabs (lencos) and comes with a stainless prop.
Signed up on the MHP form a couple days ago and told them tonight about the purchase. Nothing on there about a good prop pitch for the boat though. Ran a couple searches re the 90 yammahammer with no luck.
Wanted a boat that would go skinny, tow easy, launch with me alone, fit in the garage and not use too much gas.
Very happy today about the new purchase. Major future add-ons would be (not in any order) jack plate, power pole, hydraulic steering, poling platform.
Got all the stuff:
Fenders
Line
Anchor, chain and rode
PFDs
Throw cussion
Handlehd compass
Whistle
Flares
Space blankets
Emergency candles
Windproof lighters
Fire extinguisher
Corrosion block
2S oil
Grease gun
Deck brush
Drift sock
Lawstick
Dip net
Bluecharts (and other Garmin $tuff)
Dry box
Boat bag
I am going to the tag office to register the boat and trailer on Monday. I will call BBMarine and tell them what numbers to put on the hull.
All I have to say after this experience is that this boating stuff is expensive and I haven't even caught a fish on her yet. Hopefully soon.
You gonna have some fun time with that boat "as well as some of the pasengers"
