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.

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:

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
