Default New Boat

Please don't tell my wife, she just doesn't understand. I bought another boat today, a 20ft Proline. I Love the V20 but when I saw the space in this deck, I immediately wanted it. I can't wait to get her home and rigged.

I would hardtop that thing with curtains and fish the living crap out of that boat. I like er' alot!!! the only thing is shes a little flat towards the stern so she might frap ya a bit in the rough, but she run in some lean water.

Hedge, I won't tell your wife, but I'm willing to bet that when you put it in your yard to work on it your wife's gonna notice it. Maybe if you painted it camo it might blend in with the trees?

Nice looking boat... good luck with her.

I am already thinking about a hard top of some sort for it.

Thanks, my collection is still growing so she will notice it, eventually. I will just tell her it's an "investment"

Um whats that in the back yard. My wife said. I said I dunno. She said "the boat". I told her I needed new tires (at 95 bucks each) for our trailer and the trailer with this boat had new tires on it. She said oh, OK. I told her I would eventually get rid of it. ( yeah right)
