    Taking new boat out tomorrow for first time...

    Taking the new to me Skeeter ZX225 out tomorrow... going to work on breaking in the new powerhead, get comfortable with how she drives/rides/etc, play with the electronics and Active Target.... might even dunk a line for a bit :).

    Probably heading out of Palatka Docks, or maybe Welaka or Renegade... looking forward to not be a guy standing at the ramp with 5 rods and a sammich

    Every time I've sold a Boat saying that was the last one, I buy another within 1-3 years.

    Once you have had One Of Your Own, it's hard to go back to a Bank Ony Guy or Begging for a Ride.

    Nice Looking Boat by the Way!!

    Having a blast with it so far ... first 2 hours are done, was annoyingly boring but I played around with graphs too. Actually did 3 hours the first day, and knocked out 5 more Sunday running the creeks and around Crescent, etc. So getting close to that magic 10 hour number. Have T at Orange this weekend so will be sure to vary the rpms there as well.
