Finally Got My Boat!!

[born2fish94]

i havent been here in awhile but i know alot of people replied on my last post about choosing my first boat. Well i finally got one. and after spending hours looking at boats i decided to go with a bigger boat i knew i wanted the storage and speed and size for tournaments. Well i came across an amazing deal and got a 2003 tzx 190 skeeter with a 175 yamaha hpdi. only 198 hours on the boat exactly and man bought it and sat it up but took great care of it. i was cautious and took it to a marine mechanic before buying and he said i should go to jail for the price i got it for. I worked really hard for this and was able to keep up all A's this quarter and work 40 hours a week. Just thought id update all of you that i finally got one! pics are below!

I was gonna say pretty much the same thing!

[gripnrip]

Congrats on your purchase.  But most of all   great work on keeping your grades up and working practically full time while doing so!  

[slonezp]

Nice work.......  Sweet rig...   You worked hard for it now enjoy....

[Topwaterspook]

I'm very happy for you. That's a great looking rig, congradulations. It's a good life lesson you've learned , working hard for something and taking pride in that. Enjoy !!

Congratulations. You did good.

 

Learn all you can about the boat, motor and its electrical system. This information will help you enjoy the boat and future boats.

 

Get extra keys for the motor and always be sure to have everything the Alabama Fish and Wildlife bureau says you need to have on the boat to be 100% legal.

 

The only thing I can suggest is that you have the boat "wrapped" in a purple and gold motiff.  That will not only bring you good luck but the bass will fly to these colors when you are fishing.

 

You will also impress everyone in Alabama as you drive to and from your favorite fishing spots.

 

And be sure to yell "Geaux Tigers" when you hook those big ones. By yelling this you will catch many over five-pounds.

 

Now stop reading this Forum and go out and do some fishing before football season gets here!!!

thank you everyone! working so hard for something makes getting it so much sweeter. she runs like a dream. and already managed to catch quite a few in her the first day i took her out. thank you to everyone for giving me all the tips yall did in my last post about getting a boat. i used all of them and was able to come up with a good deal.

[BassinLou]

Congrats man. I am happy for you. You should feel proud for working hard and getting what you want. Good for you. Enjoy.

Wow - what a great looking rig!

 

I'm a Skeeter man too and you've certainly landed a trophy with that one you're now pulling. Great color too ... just a real beauty!

 

And let me add, awesome grades too man. Keep that up as well. One thing no one can ever take from you is your education.

 

Good Luck with it ... 

 

[i've had my Skeeter 202c since it was new in 1997 and it still looks, handles and performs like the day i brought it home from the dealer. Just give your machine proper care and she'l be there for you when you need her.]

Nice Ride!

[Christian M]

Congratulations, you've got a sweet boat and truck, keep working hard and good things will continue to come!

[Nitrofreak]

Straight A's while working toward a goal is not easy at all, I commend you for that, thats a lot of hard work in and of itself !!!

 

Congrats !!!

 

Now you get to relax a little and do some fishing in a very good looking ride, kids like you are rare and I would assume mom and dad are pretty proud of what you have accomplished as well as you should be too !!!

 

Awesome job on both the grades and the ride, I hope it brings you many years of enjoyment for all the hard work !!!

 

Don't forget to post some pics of the first fish from that ride !!!!!!

<- jealous

 

My new bass boat mouths off every day and wont eat his dinner

[jhoffman]

Youre doing really well so a word of advice from a younger dad(32)

 

When you start to think you want a long term relationship I want you to walk out and hook your boat up to your truck. After you do, drive it to the best lake you can think of. Get out of the cab and walk 20 yards, stand back and look. Now close your eyes and say "poof" cause even if you get to keep it you wont have the time you WANT to be able to use it like you do now.

 

Enjoy it, dont short change yourself like many young men worrying about women.

[Gotfishyfingers?]

Just like everyone else, congrats on a nice boat/truck! You have the right attitude in life about working hard to earn things. It is definitely sweeter that way..

thanks alot man, to you and everyone. and yes i already caught my biggest ever spotted bass the first day i took her out, she tipped the scales at about 4 pounds. unfortunately my phone just gave up working and i lost the picture! hopefully there will be many more. ive fished many tourneys before but will be fishing my first one in this on june 1st. im fishing it solo because it just feels right, been on em really well so im excited to see how i do! and thank you to everyone on bass rescource. This site has truly been nothing but a blessing. ive learned so much, about just about everything. its really sped up the learning process and has truly made me a much better fisherman than i was before. Thanks again to everyone and as my dad always says. "if it ain't hard, it ain't worth doin"
