Thanks guys

[Schulze]

Just wanted to thank Todd, Pappy, Fred,Team Don, Herb, carl, Niel, Paul L, Mr Coleman, Doug and everybody else for all the tips and info I have gained from ya. And especially all the fishing trips.

Unfortunatly I dont think I will be able to fish very much for the next few months. Work load is picking up with OT available so I am going to try and work as much as I can with out burning out so I can buy me a boat.

If I can save enoough for great down payment I HOPE and Pray I can afford a Blazer 202 with either Merc 225 XS (year old) or BOmb 225 HO DFI (If I can find one.) If that does not come to pass I will figure out another boat.. IN several months if you see a fat guy in a blazer flying across Lanier or Hartwell try to catch up and say hi lol.

Not sure how much I will be around on the boards. Most of y'all have my email and cell #

Good luck Johnny-boy......you know I've got a seat open for you any time....I'll hope to get a ride in your new scream machine....after you learn how to drive it

Take care....maybe you can fill in at a BAIT tourney if anyone needs a partner,and you aren't working....Keep the thought open

Good luck John, Grandpa alway told me to make the hay while the sun shines (never turn down work). the rain may come but the hay is in the barn. I know you'll work your butt off and get them big checks. Shoot just pay cash when you buy it why pay the bank money for it to sit in the yard ! Search around and you will be able to find a certificate boat and get that! Have fun we are always here.
Todd good luck with the T Saturday, we met the new GA 1 boys Saturday at Keowee and they start Sat too at the Hill. Wished them good luck.

what is a certificate boat? is it like a demo if so thats the plan

[Bass Hawk 87]

John a certificate boat is normally a certificate that is given from a marina who is sponsoring a tourney. The winner gets a boat, but normally he is given a certificate to order the boat.

John ol'boy you just do what you gotta do(I sure would trade with ya if I could)
we will still be here when ya come in from time to time and check up on us(just make sure ya come back
hey if ya cant find what ya want check to see if I still have mine(you can buy it right)

Good luck. I been there. My job is a catch 22. When I get OT I don't have time to fish, when I'm not I can't afford to.

[deavofish]

Good luck with all of it John - wise decision to work at it hard while the opportunity is there.

Hope you can fish some - maybe you'll get a little time off. When you do give us a holler'

Just remember all us poor folk when you go tooling around in that Blazer. That Yellow one at T&S sure looks pretty when I drive by it.

Somehow I have a vision of John wearing wraparound sunglasses pulling up to the landing in a Blazer and saying "Do I know you from someplace?"
