The new Spur-mobile.

[SpurHunter]

With changes in the way I fish and the family wanting to spend more time cruising and skiing it was time for a change. The ol toon has been great but it's been rode hard and out up wet, MANY times.

I decided to scout for an aluminum hulled deck boat and found a really sweet rig.

This is 22' long and 8' wide, it's a beast.
It's a 2000 model but sat on the dealer lot until 2007 when the original owner bought it and mounted the Vmax 150 and the 9.9 4-stroke kicker for trolling. These have less than 60 hours on them, no kidding.

It's also got a 70lb auto pilot Minn Kota up front.
Tons and tons of storage, live well, the works.

I had it over 40 mph during a test drive but I'm going to do my best to keep out of the throttle

I've got to put my H birds on it and install the new bait tank, already installed a new swim platform on the transom to make loading easier for swimmers

All in all I'm pretty dang happy with my purchase.

WOW!! Congrats. Looks great.

 

[jmergen]

NIce, looks like fun for the whole family! Nice little kicker motor, must have used it to troll walleyes on Winnebago..lol

 

[hiwassee]

Looks like a bass boat mated with a pontoon boat and this baby came out. Very cool! You can even troll the breakline on Chick this summer and kill em...

 

[TNAMBUSHER]

Nice.....now! Should we start a pool on how long it takes you to break something? emoPoke emoLaugh

 

[rsimms]

Remember... it's not "broke in" until I fish out of it. Don't let that Maurer guy help with break-in... he often takes that too literally. emoBigsmile

 

[Oldman]

now that is really a cool rig.but wait until the slimmers get a hold of it.lol

 

[humdinger]

I've got three kids and that's exactly what I'm looking for. Congrats on the new boat.

That's a sweet rig!!!!!

 

[EricM]

I call "dibs" on involvement with the first dent (or other catastrophe)!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SpurHunter]

Too late on the first ding, Catfinger did it while waiting to load up at Parksville last week. Dock rash. :-(

 

[SpurHunter]

New H bird installed, AND working.
Utilized the speedometer spot and made an adaptor for the GPS puck.

 

[EricM]

Puck looks great there, but watch the accuracy and number of satellites it shows because of the shadowing forward and even upward because of the overhead dash and angle installed. I don't know enough about how the antenna works, but conceivably you could lose half of the horizon. It might be no problem, just a possibility.

 

[SpurHunter]

Worst case I can move it but as long as its somewhat accurate I'm ok with that.

Sweet ride Spur!

 

[Creek Chub]

How was the new boat today? I saw you in front of sequoyah

 

[SpurHunter]

Great, except the trolling motor deployed at 35mph. :-(
