Ok Scotty,
How do you know it's her? The last time we saw her in Port Richey she was in the back of the shop all busted up, being scuttled for her casting deck to be put in a Proline (how undignified). That was 3 years ago.

Im the owner of that undignified proline....I resent that!   :D Works great but the hatches leak like an SOB.

Now I'm gonna nit-pick on this boat...well, IMO, MORE than nit-pick.  See that white plastic thing in the storage compartment next to the batt switch?  That's one of the ipod adapters that come with a Fusion stereo.  You can barely make out the the bottom edge of the Fusion LCD screen...one of the reasons so many people are using Fusions these days.  I mean, talk about standing on your head to see the damn thing!!!

Puttz, was that your boat? We saw it about 3 years back. If your casting deck is from Miss Marco.... glad you're part of the  legacy :mrgreen:  and resurrection.

From what we saw of your partial rebuild back then....you have a sweet ride.

Your casting deck and where it came from is a neat story.

Glad you're back...hang with us :thumright:

Has a lot of money in those.  I think a remote control and a front mount would suffice?  Maybe I'm wrong  :scratch:

Did they send a pic of the front cap?

Lot of $$ in that stern TM mount!

I would bet the rear TM is for Tarpon fishing, those bow mount can come out of the water in ruff stuff and make all kinds of noise

Bud.....that ain't chit.....this is the deal right here. A revolutionary product the big fancy-dan trolling motor outfits have been trying to keep from the public.

Thank gawd for Algore and the internet....no secrets anymore

That would look GREAT on your boat Scott - not sure if front or back mount is best though  :scratch:

Good stuff!

Funny for sure....but ya'll take a closer look....this thing will work. Check out the drill chuck counterbalance.

The guy that made it...pretty good :thumright: Need to figure out a swivel though :mrgreen:

Now that's funny right there, maybe Lewis will get of those instead of a propane outboard  :wink:

You know me well.

And you're right...the red clashes with the color scheme.

However....EVERY boat needs a touch of teak :mrgreen:
