Went and looked at the new boat today. Rigging her out begins Monday.

The motorguide is being replaced with a 24volt Minn Kota. Other options to be added include: hydralic steering, jack plate, power pole, VHF, Garmin 172c, 4 blade SS prop, 6 ga. trolling motor wiring, and a water pressure gauge.

I sure hope Bainbridge Marine can get all that done this week. I'm starting to get the shakes w/o a boat. :lol:

I'm bettin' that shiny paint on bottom of that hull won't last long with Birddog..... :lol:

I guess when you are gettin old, you got to have steps built in so you can get on the boat after you fall in the water.... :beer: :beer: :beer: :smt005

All xpress boats come with that POS. You know me, if I want to know how deep it is I'll look over the side. :lol:

I wish they would've left it out and not cut the hole in the console. :x
