Took the boat to Pohick Bay yesterday, after noticing how well the new cover is working out. Some very heavy rain got my neighboring boat's cover over the past couple weeks. He is now a believer in the use of tight straps rather than bungee cords for keeping his cover taut. Daughter, SIL, and grandkids arrived at the launch ramp about the same time I did, so no one had to wait. With three adults and four little ones, the boat was pretty full. The Yamaha 150 had no problem getting us moving though. http://tinyurl.com/39klfrb I might even have a new boat captain in the making... http://tinyurl.com/32a3c48 We got to a little boaters beach outside Occoquan, VA, anchored and let the kids start running around. http://tinyurl.com/34heavr The kids wanted to do some tubing, which I'd never tried before. This was the tube I got last fall. Worked well, and they had a blast. The picture takers kept using the zoom, so most of the tubing shots didn't come out.Here's my daughter having fun... http://tinyurl.com/2vmqr3r Daughter took this picture of my $30,000 towel rack. http://tinyurl.com/3ypjvl6 Great time had by all! Best $30K you ever spent, I sure. Those rear seats are cool as hell! |

The mounting holes are the same size and configuration as rod holders, without the angle. Gives me eight rod holders in that little 18'er. I like the boat more and more each time I use it, now that I've got the ground wire tight! -- John H |
