    Bought and fished out of my first boat

    So for those of you who saw my previous post....I had posted pics of an old Ranger. Well I didn't get the Ranger that day like I planned. Too many electrical problems that they told me were fine. So I ended up instead getting this...



    A 1994 Stratos 250 16' with a Evinrude 48hp on back...I took it out today and other than a slow trim it's awesome. Hard to believe its mine, never did anything but fish outta the back others' boats for forever now I have my own. The bass team at VT is having our first tourney of the year tomorrow at claytor lake...can't wait to see how I do in it.

    Awesome! Looks like a great looking boat! That's a good base starter boat for you to learn on also. Enjoy it. BTW, you might want to consider catching a little bit bigger bass.
