Sheldon Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 After months of searching I finally found a great boat! 1995 Ebb Tide Dynatrak 186 TS. 150 Yamaha. Boat is very clean and all the toys. Took it out this past weekend... backed her in... turned the key and...... NOTHING!!!! After kicking and screaming awhile I went to the marina and they had an Interstate for sale... figuring I would get hosed I was shocked when they rung it up for $60.00... then I get back the boat and now... can't get the old battery out without dismantling the oil tank... not having a nut driver and extension with me I drive to the nearest town... hit Wallyworld.. and change the battery in the parking lot. By now my fishing buddy is smirking all the way to the lake... back her in... She fires right up and purrs like a kitten... smiling we idle her out of the no wake zone and crack the throttle.... after scaring myself silly with using too much up trim... I finally get her on plane and zoom out to about 60 or so.... the rest of the day was an awsome time... too much wind and very few strikes but I wouldn't trade her maiden voyage for anything!!!! Still can't get this silly grin off of my face! I'll get some pics up soon! Quote
snapperd1 Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Sheldon, That is great nothing like the maiden voyage. Just wait awhile and two footits will hit. Enjoy your new ride. Tom D. Quote
