    Just joined the family

    Picked up my 186XT/115 ETEC last night Took her out this morning to learn how to drive it. Caught some smallies, some largies, and even some trout... Great boat, super happy. A considerable upgrade from my G3 jon boat, and Coleman Crawdad.

    Re: Just joined the family (Dan200xl)

    Thanx all. This thing is awesome. Perfect for R.I. where the average sized lake is under 400 acres. There's really only about 4 lakes in the state where I can use the big motor, saw 50mph on the dash speedo today. No GPS on board so I will take it at face value.

    Re: Just joined the family (pYr8)

    Thanx again fellas. Can't wait to get the family out for some fun. My dad just had a heart transplant two weeks ago, this is his motivation to get better!

    Also, thanx to Richie at Thayers Marine in Norwich, CT for putting up with all my questions.
