Boat Trades Continued

As I said in my Maverick post alot of things had to fall together for this last week to work...One thing quite apparent to even my dull senses was that you can't tow kids on a tube on a tunnel maverick! My old scout was a perfect all arounder...but, not a specialist....Needed one last thing to fall into place.

Had to think hard. How to afford another boat that I really don't need for my fishin but the family would appreciate...
Thus I spawned the idea for THE RED HILLS BOAT CLUB.

Found 3 buds that all fall in the same boat. Luv to fish, have an inshore boat, not a family boat, need a family boat. Something to for the ladies to lay out in, the kids to be pulled from, and to occassionally spank a Groupa. Got buds in on a deal where we get 1 week a month of use and VIOLA. "My" new boat was in Orange Springs AL and we picked it up today for a great price :wink:

The boat purrs like a kitten about 250 hrs on the motor. Flies about 50mph. And all maintenance, add ons will be spit 4 ways. Will keep you posted on how well this works out!

Three boat deals in week! :lol:

Dems the breaks I guess no matter who owns the boat.

The way we plan to work it is each gets to lock in 2 vacation weeks per year. Each available week the rest of the year you get 1,2,3,4 pick for days on rotating basis, if it isn't being used by someone in front of ya on a given day it is yours to use. We fish alot together too.

Realistically, doubt it is going to be a big deal, we have 1.25 boats each :wink: Plus there are major disincentives for being a PITA. :smt075
