Willy's Gallery Up and Running

[willy]

Took Old School out today, been a busy couple of weeks, new GPS installed, teak redone, Guest charger installed, switches replaced, 9.9 Suzuki installed on new installed adjustable kicker bracket, new water pump and seals along with new thermostat, tune up and install of control arm on Suzuki (previously remote controls) new fuel/water filter set up. Tune up of 115 Johnson, new navigation lights (led) on bow and host of other things. But worth it, now I can fish Round Valley (9.9 restriction) which is fifteen minutes from my house and gorgeous.
So without further adeu please check out the gallery ;D

Puts a new twist on all the Super Model yak-yak we been hearin' all this time... ;) 8)...

[willy]

Ah those are just the little ones, don't worry Oz there are plenty of super models of the older un-related variety running around. they are just never in the same area at the same time, unhealthy that is. I wanted to get a shot of the CFO super model in there too, but don't have any on a CD like these shots I had developed.

Real nice Willy! Dash looks great, love the captain chairs!

The little motor is the bomb! So you mentioned being able to fish the restricted lake - I guess its ok to take your boat as long as you only use the 9.9 and don't fire up the 115? I didn't know you could do that but it makes sense. 10mph :o You nearly planed off ;D

Looking real nice, I know you are proud and rightfully so!

All I can say is, it's a good thing the two trainees take after the CFO ;) ... cause the looks of that hitch-hiker in the Gallery ain't hittin' on much ::) ...bet he's got a great personality, though... ;) ;D ;D ...

[willy]

Thanks Blue, yea you can launch any size boat you want, as long as you power it with a 9.9 So once you are on the water and the Game Wardens are not around you can use your big motor, Just can't go fast as they will see that. At night is a different story , you can pick it up a little. And at night it is gorgeous there and seldom anyone but a couple of fisherman on the water.

[macojoe]

Looks good!!

There's just one thing that I would fix,

That bolt on the swim platform, Take it out of there, some 600 grit sand paper will take care of the rust stain, repoxy it with a Stainless bolt before it breaks and hurts someone, or worse starts letting water in the transom :o

And you can keep the Ford, But I might like to give that old man a whirl ;)

[willy]

Yea I try to dress down when I'm in public, otherwise draw to much attention 8) Two sweatshirts, dirty jeans, cap and camo launch boots. HIGH FASHION BABY :)

[willy]

Thanks MJ already bought the bolt , it's on the list. Plenty strong though I checked by putting MFA on it ;)
Now tell me the truth you have already blown up a pic of the land train and have it in your office don't you.
Don't lie cause CB will dime you out ;D

[Zebra]

Looks good... i sure do like the solid transom, ive got a 9.8 nissan does just fine. Also Willy that water is just so clear, my lakes and rivers here in fla, dirty water with gators. No gators there i bet.

[willy]

Yea Z it's all drinking water, almost three hundred feet deep in places, lot of big Lakers, small mouth and good size rainbows and browns along with all the pan fish species, about 7 miles from there have the second major impoundment, not as deep but loaded with all the bass including the hybrid stripers which are a ball when they decide to feed.
Only problem with either lake is that they won't let you within 200 feet of the big dams or towers because of a bunch of Arab's, the best fishing for bass and pan fish of course is near those rock walls. Maybe some day :-/
Oh and no gators ;)

[captbent]

THAT ROCK HOPPER LOOKS VERY NICE. BOAT LOOKS NICE TOO, ROUND VALLEY RES BEEN THERE A FEW TIMES DIVING, VERY DEEP RES THEY EVER FIND THE BODYS THEY WHERE LOOKING FOR,

[willy]

They find a couple of dumps every year, I'm sure there's a bunch still composting down there :o

[Franco]

Liikon good there Brother Willy, and quite the crew!!!

[willy]

Thanks Franco, she's all ready for the striper run which is just starting to happen, reports of bunker pods along cost and entering bays, when you coming up brother ;D

[TheTinMan]

Great rig Willy...now I wanna see some reports of some nice Linesiders! :)

[willy]

Going to work on it Tin, weather been crap here, lot of thunderstorms and wind, EVERY FREAKIN DAY :-[
Friends that fish the surf say the water got really churned up and temps did not come up like they should have.
Decided not to enter the tournament, not going to have the time, hope you guys take it this year Bud, Good Luck ;)
