Ha ! That boat was used by my old unit. Over 10 years after my time though. That would be a fun boat to buy.

^ does it come with a government credit card to win the race to the nearest fuel dock?

Went boat shopping and got myself a birthday present. Will arrive in a couple weeks. I'd been on a waitlist for a slip for 9 years and this was the most boat they would allow on the slip.

Nice! That'll get the job done. I've heard good things about Worldcats but have never been on one. Congrats.

Where is there a 9-year waiting list for a slip? Just wondering.

**VTeton** · 06-29-2019, 08:06 PM

Should ensure smooth trips back from Nantucket and Cuttyhunk when the afternoon chop kicks up. Got riggers and radar so we can do some fishing.

Slip is 20'3" wide. Other boat has a 9'3" beam and I'll have a 9'2". Gonna be tight....

I actually have the same boat as the other boat but its 22yrs old and a bear to maneuver with a single OB.

Nice VT! Sweet little boat right there. You’ll get plenty of fun trying to park that thing when you’re racing a storm home and have a stiff crosswind. But hey, that’s what bumpers are for [emoji12]

**VTeton** · 06-29-2019, 08:27 PM

After seeing the tight slip, i added the joystick.

You'll be fine. Just remember the old adage, "never dock going faster than you're willing to hit something". Took me a while and a little carnage to to get that one beaten into my brain.

My brother has a mid-hull Nortech with 3 400s on lt. That thing is a sweet fishing boat that gets you to the goods w/out haste

That looks so silly on that tiny trailer.

I suppose it's okay, if you like that kind of thing.

It's the operating costs that get you.

A friend of mine, who has been a captain and project manager for the past 25 years, started building custom boats last year. He just launched hull #1:

This was a fun weekend.

**The Suit** · 11-15-2019, 10:52 AM

That's cool! What river?

**Buster Highmen** · 11-15-2019, 10:55 AM

Snake?

**Conundrum** · 11-15-2019, 11:11 AM

Yep. It's a buddy's boat. 23' HCM. I want to say a supercharged 383ish single. Stayed at a ranch midway and hunted out of the boat. Rafted that river a bunch, never jetted. Totally different program in a jet boat.

**I Skied Bandini Mountain** · 11-15-2019, 11:16 AM

Cast and blast.. Good times.

**2FUNKY** · 11-15-2019, 11:52 AM

Nice man! Sure miss Hells Canyon. I used to run it in a jet a bunch when i first moved to Idaho, super fun. Bass, steelhead, sturgeon and chukar all in the same day.
