I believe we met last month in the fishing department at Ace. I hope the new boat works well and the Willard fishies bite. leave a couple for me, I'll be there Friday morning.
Yes we did. It was a good conversation. I put in a plug for the website and fligs but you already knew about BFT and even had some fligs.
We (myself, wife and 87 year old mother) had a good tour of Willard Bay breaking in the boat. We got on the water at 2:30 and completely circled the Bay, pulling into the dock at 4:30.
I got a bit worried when nothing happened when I turned the key to start it up, but remembered my briefing at Fred's Marine. If it won't start, check the kill switch. That was it.
We didn't do any fishing. The boat performed well. The 75hp motor moves it right along. I don't now how fast top speed is since the speedometer didn't work, and I couldn't figure out how to get the Hook 4x out of simulation mode. I forgot to bring the manual.
I never dropped the trolling motor down so the Helix 7 stayed stowed.
We had a good time and will be fishing soon. I let my mother and wife drive for awhile. They enjoyed it a lot.
