Looks great! Is that Utah lake? Which marina are you launching out of? Saratoga’s getting mighty low. Enjoy the new boat!
Finally getting to enjoy the thing. It's a big change to be certain, but it's starting to get a feel for it. Yes Utah Lake, we're from Orem and launch out of Provo. We were reading 4ft out of the marina there. It is looking a bit bleak for the next couple months...

Caught this guy yesterday in 130’ of water with the down rigger set at 60’. At least 6#, it is a Gerard variety rainbow… he bled a bit when I first got him in the boat. Put him in the live well until he stayed upright then sent him back to the deep. The surface temp of the water was 68*, but at 60’ I’m guessing it is in the 40’s. Made a bit of a torpedo toss back into the water and he kept cruising on his own power down and out of sight… biggest rainbow to date here in the hills..

Maybe one day one of my pics will have such fine sights to see…. I’m assuming that is @HawaiiBreeze sitting in the bow running the drone?
Yes you are correct...too much action and crowd to operate and land...truth is I wasn't paying attention to the time and due to the heavy payload of the float system I ran out of battery and had to ditch the MavicAir2 in the water a couple of hundred feet from the boat and walk out to get it....facepalm.

Great time in Hilton Head, although I could have passed a tender for one of my neighbors1

Was really impressed with how well she navigated in the rougher water and wind while docking.

This transom area is a game changer!

Beautiful sunsets and more dolphins than I've ever seen in one place in the wild!

Somebody is having a bad day! The city is in the process of adding a second ramp to the marina. Heard a loud bang but didn’t think much of it as they have been dumping rocks for the past few weeks. Launched out and caught a view of the back hoe on its side. The tow trucks were unsuccessful getting it out- when we came in they were using a front loader to move some more rocks to get closer to it I think. Pretty crazy!

Lake Winnipesaukee, NH yesterday. End of a great day with friends. Too cold to swim/wake board, but nice day to ride to Meredith and Paugus Bay.
Just found out I’m moving up that way. Gonna be stationed at Pease Air Force Base. I have a AR195 and I’m curious if it is worth it to bring the boat up. Does the water ever get warm enough to swim and wakeboard? Should I sell my boat and get something different for up there?
