MattStrykul Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Started off the weekend faking sick on Saturday so I could skip work and hit the lake with my Dad and brothers and sister. Haven't seen my Dad in a while and this is when we see him for xmas so I saw it fit to be "sick". Well as a huge surprise, he got my brother and I a SWEET '92 nitro. We got to the lake and it was just parked in our lot. We really couldn't believe it. He's definetly the greatest, quite a few guys on here knows he trailers us to all of our tournaments and anytime we fish because of the situation we're in. I was so psyched when I saw it. The boat is in amazing condition, always garaged and the carpet and gelcoat are basically perfect. To top the weekend off we had a tournament today and I love fishing tournaments. We did alright for how terrible of a day it was. This morning a huge cold front came in and it was pouring rain and 38 degrees. My hands have never been so cold in my life!!!!! We ended up the day with only 2 fish for 4.78 lbs, but 3rd place. No money, there were only 10 boats. Fun time though, and amazing boat. GPS'd it at 41.9 mph...It flies!!! My favorite colors too, black and blue. I'll get some pictures up when I get home. Quote

MattStrykul Posted December 22, 2008 Author Posted December 22, 2008 Here's another pic, looks alot cleaner here. Quote
MattStrykul Posted December 22, 2008 Author Posted December 22, 2008 Thanks man. It really is. Another funny story about it was I almost bought it out under him. I saw it on craigslist about a month ago and I asked the guy selling it if he would take payments of $250 a month til I could pay it off and at the same time my Dad was about to buy it ;D The guy was like, "Do you have a son named Matt? He's trying to buy the boat too " It makes me feel alot better that he didn't spend some crazy amount on a boat and found this one for just under 2800. Quote
slomoe Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!!!! x2 Very cool. Congrats Matt Quote
Bassboss Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Sweet! Your dad is awesome! I told my dad that rather than getting a car for high school graduation, I want a cheep truck, and a used bass boat! Quote
Pitchinkid Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Alright an E21 man. i hear ya. Nice boat, man im jealous. Quote
MattStrykul Posted December 22, 2008 Author Posted December 22, 2008 Yeah I love my carrot stix. My girlfriend got me a gold, and it's amazing. She didn't let me take it to the lake though, such a tease. Quote
MattStrykul Posted December 22, 2008 Author Posted December 22, 2008 Sweet! Your dad is awesome! I told my dad that rather than getting a car for high school graduation, I want a cheep truck, and a used bass boat! Last year I had a really nice toyota tundra that my stepdad bought for my use(we have 4-5 cars at a time) so it was all I was allowed to drive. It wasn't "MINE" as in once I leave I can take it, but it was mine in the sense I was the only one that drove it and we refered to it as mine. I came across a nice boat last year and almost bought it but I didn't because I told my Mom I was going to get it and she said yeah yeah it's okay and a week later she sold the truck. So I didn't buy the boat and now I drive a scion tC, not complaining because I would drive any car she just does alot of things like that. She puts alot of speed bumps in my road to just go fishing...weak. Quote
