    Sad day...

    Today I had to pull the batteries, 20 rods and half of bass pro shop out of the bullet for winter storage
    The good news is the boat will be inside insted of shrink wraped and setting outdoors like my last ride.
    This was my first summer with the boat and took some seat time to get used to driving it, but after around the 4th tank of gas and help from bigcrazy on the stroker board...it has been all good. Cant wait for next year.:thumb up2
    Going to put a holeshot plate, upper plate and foil on first thing in the spring.

    Right on Crank...I don't even know what winterizing means. Only difference is that I don't drive near as fast in the winter...but only trying to keep my boys warm. I do not have any kids...

    Nova...I feel for you but not to worry. You will pick up right where you left off...

    I drive faster in the winter, cool water, cool air, faster speeds, and less boat traffic

    Right you are 250! But a 90 mph wind chill factor will turn 50 degrees into a subzero freezer real quick. I can't bust 50 mph in the cold without having to break the snotcycles off my nose...

    I'd like to see your boat some day... I use my Bullet until ice on. Water is still in the high 50/60's here.

    Would love to keep fishing in the cooler weather, but my boat storage has limited space and fills up.
    Sure thing about meeting up...maybe at a prop test day in the spring

    You guys down south have a nice winter, but you can have your summer. I grew up in Montgomery Al, parents are in huntsville/madison now. Hope to be able to do winter trips down there when I retire.

    Holy cow...I would completely freak out if I walked outside and saw that! Then I would be on the phone with my realtor telling her to get it sold ASAP! Went fishing this AM...it was a little breezy but a nice morning at 82 degrees and just did beat the rain. Like T-racer (recognized you from S&F ) says God bless you guys!

    The man does seem to have his priorities inline! I imagine Crank would agree cuz I think he's got a few sweet classic rides himself...

    Waste no more film on the snowy Bullet...turn the camera towards the 47! Would love to see that!

    It does get hot. I will take it over the cold tho. I spent some time in the Army so I have been in the cold. Don't care if I ever see snow again. Fished the last 3 days in shorts . Its a little chilly today tho.. I think its about 45 right now .
