Yeah its the boat she was selling. Did you ever go look at it? I was really impressed I think I found two places in the rubber and thats about all the scratches. Thanks for all the welcome comments as well. I am gonna try to maybe get out and about in it tomorrow afternoon for a bit.
 
Great looking boat. I recently went to Rodman and fished in an 07 Triton. Nice wide front deck and I really enjoyed fishing in it. You may even win a few boat races when you get used to it. Welcome to the forum twilson
 
Got it all shined up today. I have to go look at a job up close to watts bar tomorrow so thats a good enough reason to try it out

Go for it! Life is good and getting better. Don't forget to post a fishing report emoAngler
 
Man what a small world. You are my across the road neighbor. Untill you sent me the PM I never put 2 and 2 together. I have seen the boat from my front yard and still didn't know you were you.emoCrazy
Congratulations on the new rig. We'll have to go slime it up one day. emoBigsmile
BTW late welcome to the CFF.
 
Nice rig. I ran an 2002 TR-20/225 Opti for 5 years until trading for another last year. It is a great fishing boat. Ref. your issues regarding the speedo, the intake hole on the front edge of your L/U is probably plugged. You MAY be able to unplug it with a small drill bit, but it WILL quickly get plugged again. Most of us don't fool with it. If you're worried about a speed number, adding a GPS is your best option. The tach and trim guages are your friends. FWIW, you should see low/mid 70's at ~5800 RPM's. The fuel guage could be a fuse as mentioned above or may be a problem with the guage or the sending unit in the tank. The boat will chine walk. It is NOT like the Ranger you're used to. Take your time learning to deal with "the walk" and ENJOY!
 
Thanks for all the welcomes and the info jbh. It is definetly a lil different. I took it to get serviced and get the GPS put in last Monday and am still waiting to get it back hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday.
