Default She's officially mine, the one I showed yall before

So glad I sold The Hooker and this worked out to stay with me.

16' Delta Craft with 60HP Johnyrude, 84# trolling motor, nice Lowrance and small fish finder up front as well.
















Due to some personal things my best buddy had to sell. Its been at my house for a couple months since he sold his home and Ive used it some. He mentioned a little while back he might have to sell it and I told him in no uncertain terms it wasnt leaving my yard, Id do what I had to. I praise God he made a way and it worked out.

My excitement at this point is beyond words for a few reasons, I loved The Hooker and have a lot of blood, sweat and tears in it but this will be used so much more due to convenience of the size and easier to launch by myself but still can take my girls or wife with me. I can also remember me and my dad seeing them when I was a kid wishing we could own one.





Here it is with a windshield I made for it this week.











Just wanted to share what to me is a dream come true.

I've been looking into an 18 footer for quite a while, but I still love the V21 and V20. That's a downsize for me from the 25 footer I had before. Besides, I'd be a little leery of taking an 18 out into the ocean.

All that being said, Stinky, that's a beautiful boat. Best of luck with it. Glad you made your dream come true!!!!!

nice boat would be easy to lanch on your own---i had a 17ft boat and i sold it because it was too small for me and my 3 boys---thats how i ended up with a v20----im sure if my boys dont show any interest in fishing i will sell the v20---i like the smaller boat== could do everything on my own park it on the sand and go back out on my own---i hope i have done the rite thing by upgrading but time will tell===i have always liked runabouts no wasted room===hope you enjoy your new boat
