Ok so Ive had he Maverick now for two months and I decided I would post a few pics of the mystery boat since Ive been taking my time rigging her myself. All I have left to do is mount the jack plate and power pole mount I had special made for the Maverick. All the standard POwer pole mounts were too short and didnt give me enough offset. This one offers 14". Just a few pics. Im hoping to get some slime on her very very soon!!!
Getting Started






Platform for BB's next wet arse

Graphics are black base, yamaha grey outline and Maverick Turquoise. Kinda hard to make Maverick turquoise look sporty!!



80lb Minn Kota Riptide and offset Garmin depthfinder, jack plate switch

Blinker style jackplate switch and Garmin GPS, dash mount powerpole switch


I think my graphics on the side may be too big. All serious critiques will be accepted with an open mind!! I wanted to do a graphic that was more of a circle but it blurred my words too much. A special thanks to Clabe Hall at Audio image in Adel, GA with a ton of help on the install. He did all of the specialty and fabrication work and all the wiring. He has put over 25 hours into this project and charged me a very, very reasonable price. Everything is competition grade with all the wiring completely hidden. Anyone who needs some custom installs done on their boat, give him a call. He does vinyl lettering and vinyl graphics. Anyways, cant wait to get her nasty with some redfish and pig trout slime!!! All in all , I think Im gonna like my "second string" boat!!!

Heres a few more pics with the jackplate and powerpole. Notice that longazz bracket they made for me!!

That is one sweet looking skiff

One word.............."AWESOME"

Nice ride BB. They will dang sure know its you flyin by!!!

Some times them "second string" players will surprise ya and really come on strong! I think your gonna like the performance when she comes off the bench

HEY JAY, THAT IS ONE SWEET SET UP ON THE NEW BOAT, COULD NOT HAVE PICKED A BETTER NAME. I KNOW YOU WILL PUT THE BOAT TO GOOD USE. DO LIKE I DID MY LAST (NEW) BOAT, WE HAD A 3 MAN LIMIT OF TROUT AND REDS ON THE MAIDEN VOYAGE IN 3 HOUIRS.
PA THE OLD MAN OF THE SEA

My thoughts, exactly. The graphics eliminates any doubt about who it is. Makes an easier target.

Looking good Let me know how it rides with the Jack Plate, I would like to put one on mine. I think I can take the change in the COG as my hull has a slight hook built into it.

BB Too is just beautiful! I am looking forward to your fish tales on the new boat. I have that same trailer under mine and I am extremely happy with the way it tracks and rides. Really loads easy too. Knock on wood, but that trailer put an end to my long suffering tire saga. I quit counting how many tires I blew on the old one. Hurry up and get that new ride slimed.

Great looking boat Jay!

Got her looking right brotha.

What year is that hull looks to be 2005 or older (poling platform and console looks old school)?

Looks good
