"BOut Another Thousand"
But they sure are fun. Mama and I were discussing another bass boat.

I would have expected you to have 4 of those big Merks on the back of that Scopey. lolI have had boats most of my life and it is the best quality time bar none, for me, my wife, daughter, and granddaughters. "It's still cool to hang out with they old man" no cell phones allowed except to take pictures, My youngest grandaughter had a birthday when she was younger, and I brought her and nine of her friends to a small private Island that had a beach. I had to go back and get a few of the parents, but it was there island for the day they are all grown up now but they still talk about that day when ever I see them. I had a giant cushion made for the bow for my sunbathing beauties. The boat and the motor have a 10 year warranty, all I have to do is change they oil and they impeller once a year $200,00 a year which I do myself. The boat does 60 mph and only has 12 inches of draft so I can go anywhere, and those new style engines are very fuel efficent. And when we go out to eat at a restaurant if there is a wait and they see you pulled up by boat the wait is never very long. I have asked why the special treatment and they owner said it is good for the restaurants image to see they are a boating destination and if you took the time and resourses to get there by boat you should be taken care of there are a lot of eyes watching you when you pull up to dock so don't screw up.lol my oldest potty mouth grandaughter came up with the name, I am so proud of her.

BoatCan't really complain too much but still stings. Bought Penn Yan 212 in 1989 still have it. Never had any mechanical costs. Prob 3 lifetimes on motor outdrive. 33rd season. So needed impeller. Went downhill fast! Outdrive seal bad leaking oil into bellows. So went from normal maint to ah crap. Decided to replace bellows at same time since already there. Replace bad trim sending unit that was bad but accessible now, when all said and done prob $1500. Added in some other routine that I cant do with shoulder in recovery. So much for Sendero remage build later this year!
Nice boat there, im not a fan of boats requiring me to stand up and hang on, but i still appriciate the good ones.I feel the pain, completely rewiring/new electronics, pumps, lighting my 28' CC. New dash, some glass work.
Its a bare bones fishing machine with a 300 gallon fuel tank. Putting Llebroc seats in it. I'm still young enough to run n gun. someday I hope to get a Henriques 42 charter with big cats or MANN's and charter part time. Gotta have goals! I'd say I enjoy chasing tuna as much as I do elk hunting. Very similar in a lot of ways.Nice boat there, im not a fan of boats requiring me to stand up and hang on, but i still appriciate the good ones.
I once visited the Henriques factory and got to meet the owner who as i recall was John. His daughter ran the office. That was back when Carter tried to put all of them out of business with his stupid tax on boats. They made a very impressive boat, at least to me.Its a bare bones fishing machine with a 300 gallon fuel tank. Putting Llebroc seats in it.
