First I need to say a super THANK YOU TO RANAMAN, I must have sent him links to 50 boats and asked him a thousand questions.

I do have a new used boat sitting under the shed and I am very pleased with the purchase.
You know what that say, first day and last day you own a boat are the best two.

The owner was about 150 miles NW of me above Birmingham Al. It was 34 degrees and raining when I left home this morning. I real super day to be looking at a boat.

As Joe stated 1991 Mako 191 Classic with a 1996 Yamaha 150,
The orginal owner was a marine tech and kept the boat until he passed away, a few years ago. It has spent most of its life on a fresh lake in North Alabama, chasing stripers.

I had to stop at Leeds Alabama on the way home at (I think) the biggest Bass Pro Shop in the country. Just shopping on how I can spend some more money on the boat to get it ready for Carrabelle.

So guys don't laugh if I ask some dumb questions on Electronics, Vhf, etc.

I will try to post a couple pictures.

Congrats on the new ride. Looks to be in great shape. Makos were solidly built back then.

Did you end up getting the trailer from Coastal to match the Mako or did it have one already?

Enjoy the boat and your time in Carrabelle. That'll be a good rig for fishing Dog Island Reef and chasing grouper.

Thanks,

It had a trailer, in the picture "Performance tandem" Galv. I figured I would make it do for now and spend my allowance on other goodies. It pull well on the 150 mile trip home in the rain.

I had a boat in mind at St Marks that needed a trailer, it was in dry storage.

Pull the hubs and grease the bearings. The trailer will be fine.
Congratulations on your new addition to the family.
You can fish my holes one month rent free.

Nice boat bud. Congrats.

Thanks, I will take you up on fishing your holes free for a month.

Wait until I get a new GPS, where I can store the numbers.

Congrats DeanMac. That's a nice ride.

Congrats on the new (to you ) boat. Lots of memories to be made.
