Aaron, gosh sorry about the accident. Hope the other guys insurance makes you whole. Still a headache. Glad your truck
was still driveable.

Pleasure selling you the boat and meeting you. Aaaron showed up right on time and had everything ready to go.
Loaded the boat signed papers and had everything ready in about 20 minutes! Also that new tie down you had
was smart thinking,,,,,,especially with the accident. Nice to do business with someone like Aaron who knows how to do business.

Hope everyting goes nice and smooth with the rebuild. John

Aaron is a good dude! Now we'll see what he makes of her!

Thank you Aaron! After looking at so many awesome rebuild threads, I 've got the itch to start a project like that. If I saw that deal, I would have jumped on it. And my wife would have KILLED me.

Aaron that sucks about the fender bender. I had a guy spin out of control next to me on the Howard Franlkin bridge a few weeks ago after a couple of crotch rockets blasted by. Of course it wasn't raining. That was hair raising, I was able to gun my truck and avoid getting hit. If I had a boat behind me I would have been screwed. I know a place in Clearwater that specializes in Super duty parts and they also sell kits to update your front end to a 05 and up style if you like.

Sweet new ride, have you rode a flatback before?

matt, i havent rode in an aquasport or proline flatback yet, but my customer's 24 Morgan tower boat i have been on a few times, i like how she handled.

Capt Matt · « **Reply #25 on:** October 09, 2012, 03:10:59 PM »

I've rode a few 24 Morgans myself and seen at least 6 rebuilds locally. When I was getting ready to do my rebuild it was either going to be a 22 flatback or a 24 Morgan. People love the Morgans around here as most of them where net boats or crab boats. The Morgan just seems like too big of a boat for what I need, also the bow is way too high to ever run a bow mount trolling motor which is a must have for me along with the fact they blow around like a kite in any kind of wind.
Anytime you want I will take you for a ride and feel free to pick my brain when you start the build. You will be really happy with the flatback,
More than 900hrs and a year after mine hit the water I'm still all smiles.

Way to go Aaron on the purchase!

Couldn't get better news about the unfortunate accident; Coverage, a rental car, and everything is back home without any injuries!!

Looking forward to watching the rebuild.

matt, thanks for the offer! ill deff take you up on that!

wes, i may bring her home next week to start work so if you see my truck feel free to stop by.

spoke with insurance, should have the truck back friday afternoon, cant wait to get it back!!

i was happy with the truck on the trip, on the way down with an empty trailer i averaged 17.2 mpg, and on the way back with the boat i averaged 14.5 mpg
