Taking The Boat On It's Maiden Voyage
 

I'm headed for the water after work tomorrow. Gonna see if I can find a few fish and see what kind of a job I did converting my boat into a bowfishing rig. Headed to some of the backwaters off of Hwy 94 in St. Charles County, MO. I checked it out tonight. Water is a little high, but no current back there. :barmy:

Good luck and be safe....Most importantly have fun and let us know how it goes....Also remember PICTURES!!!!!!

Don't keep your cell phone or any other non-water proof items in your pocket. :D

Don't forget to put the drain plug in. ;)

Good luck! Don't die!

Not planning on it. :eek2:

This is mostly a feeling out trip with the boat. Trying to see what I need to tweak to make it work better. See how the lights work, etc. But a few fish would be nice too.

Well it didn't turn out so good. Now I remember why I hate boats. Motor wouldn't turn over very good, and had trouble starting. Played around with it a while there and gave up. Came back home and found a loose wire on the starter. It was an easy fix once I found the damn thing. *&&^$##%^&(((*&^&* It starts great and runs fine now that I'm in the yard. :bash:

I guess I'll just have to try it again tomorrow. Weather is still supposed to be nice.

Hmmmmm? Why does this sound familiar...

I always start mine at home before i drive an hour to find out it wont work.

It ran great a little over a month ago when I tried it out before I bought it.

Did you have any bananas around?? :)

No bananas, but I did give it a few new names yesterday without a proper ceremony. *&^%$#@!#$%^&* :rant:
