Boat number 18
Posted: January 2nd, 2005, 10:51 am
My brother and I were hanging out the other day and with nothing else to do decided to count our boats. Until then we thought we had 8 or 10. Turns out we had 17. That is until we got a call from my daughter in Nashville who said "Pops, you want a boat come get it its yours". So off we went to Tennessee. There in a slip on Percy Priest Lake is a 20' pontoon boat with a 50hp 4 stroke Honda. We found a tire store to install 2 new tires on the trailer went back to the lake to retrieve the boat. Once home went straight to West Marine for a new bottom Machine. Installed that quickly because the tide was rising at the Fort. Got hte boat in the water and proceeded to fish all the places we now and some new places we didn't know. Thought we were going to end the maiden voyage in the skunk mode until we finally boated a 14" trout. The first of many more and larger fish to come in the new year. We welcome # 18 and its' spaciousness, we can carry more rods than ever.
Them thangs are nice at times and a pain the ..... the rest of the time 
I have never regreted getting rid of ours 
Glad I only got 5 boats in the yard
