...a new (to me) boat. The Proline I grabbed a couple years ago was okay, but a very wet ride. I originally bought it for inshore Striper fishing for me and my grandson. So in keeping with that same requirement but looking for a bit more comfort and better ride (much drier too from what I'm told), I've been looking hard for something in the 17-18' range. Found a good deal on this 2002 Scout 175 Sport Fish in need of a trailer and motor. I've been straight out at work lately with very little time. So BigShrimpin (Tim) and MJ took good care of me and made the drive to RI to drag her home. Tim had a nice trailer and an extremely clean Merc 90 Hp motor that I'm buying from him. As you'll see, he's already started rigging it in his garage. I have a T-Top coming for it.
Spring can't get here soon enough for me.
Here's a taste for all the picture hounds.
