No problem. Been looking for a used one for a while and found this new 2012 and got a good price. + Yamaha was offering a 6 year warranty instead of the usual 3 at no extra charge. Now for the downrigger, fish finder etc.

No wife on my end. The only one I needed to talk into buying it was myself. That turned out to be easier than I thought.

Post by: CAMPMEAT on October 25, 2013, 02:23:06 PM: You know what PolarBear, they make 100 + - boats a month there, during the high season. I couldn't believe it when my buddy told me. You've most likely seen the plant and how small it looks.

Post by: PolarBear on October 25, 2013, 07:57:59 PM: I haven't been to the plant but my buddy wants to take me though it. I helped him build the rest of his boat. Maybe if I get over there for late archery this year or for shed hunting in February.
