Crazy weekend, my buddie called and wanted to fish a TX on Sunday at a local lake. We left Sunday morning and on the way he asked me "what was your first bass boat?" I told him it was the stro (1989 Astro 18FDX with a 150 Merc) and my first resto. I replaced the carpet and seats and a complete wet sand with a custom cover and I had it looking new. He asked what happened to it and I told him I sold it in 98 to a local guy and haven't seen it since. It was a great boat but had to sell it cause I bought a 2000 Procraft and it had to go.
Later that day while fishing (we were flipping some docks) we came across a dock that had a bassboat in it and I asked my buddy is that an Astro? He said yeah its been sitting here for a couple of years. I told him to get me a little closer I want to check it out. I said "man that looks like my old stro!" As we got closer it was my old boat! I could tell it had been sitting in the water for awhileAll that work and it just sitting in the water getting blisters
