More a video than a pic. Had a buddy with a drone take some video at the tail end of the day. Our legs were spent, we were low on gas, but we gave it a go anyways.
Blowing off the spider webs on the maiden voyage on the 1985 Boston Whaler yesterday. We picked her up 20 mins. before. Gonna be a build/restore fishing project. Bunch of mods planned...ordered Stryker T-top and Cannon downrigger last night.
She has the original 1985 Yamaha 115 2-stroke. Ran good for the couple of outings we have been out on. We will see. If we have any major issues we will repower with a 150 Yamaha or Mercury 4-stroke. We went into the deal knowing a 37 YO motor won't last forever. We got the boat, motor and trailer for $8500. They were asking $12,500.
Looks like a beautiful night. I watched the sheriff pull over a 255x last weekend that had people riding on the swim platform. Your pic reminded me of that.
Photo dump from the last few weeks.
I went to my old neighborhood to buy some frozen Brazilian snacks. They came out great on the grill and I'm definitely going back for more. Pao de quiejo, coxinha, and guarana.
Finally was able to take the boat our after my wife's surgery. She wasn't allowed in saltwater nor could she be on the boat if it was choppy etc..
Made my first trip out to Shell Key for those that are local. It wasn't a bad ride at all, weather was perfect and seas were about 1' the whole time out from EG Simmons.
