Default First trip in the salt with the 250

This is the symbol of the guy that used to be known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince.



And this is the symbol of the guy formerly known as Tally Ho....



The new boat is going to be named the Monkey Butler hence the new handle. I've owned the domain name www.monkeybutler.com for some time and eventually I'll get a website put up.

I took some vaction and I've been off work since the 4th puttering around with the boat. I had a problem with a mid-range bog in the motor so I didn't feel comfortable going out in the ocean yet. I was waiting on carb kits so in the meantime we had a few outings on Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester. A 25 footer doesn't make an ideal bassboat but in a pinch......



Well the parts didn't come in on Friday as expected but I tore down the carbs anyway, cleaned 'em and reassembled with the old gaskets. Took it out on the lake again and ran like a new motor. So Saturday morning we were 69.3 miles away from the MOB marker I punched in on the lake...





Let me introduce the crew.

Admiral Junkbottom...



Oldest kid and only daughter Nicole...



Oldest son Tyler...



And the youngest, Brian...



And yours truly...



BTW, there is a toe shot hidden in one of the above pictures for ya' Stink Man.

We caught some scup, tried our luck for stripers, and ducked into a sheltered beach when the famous Buzzards Bay afternoon chop blew up, along with every other boat on the bay...



Here is a link to a short Movie that we threw together (~3mb)

All in all a great day. Hope you all had a great 4th.
