Jack: It's a 2001 model with a 2006 trailer, the moter is a 2005... The boat's 19 feet long .. completely canvased, got a 115 hp Evenrude E-tech on the back ... Came with 600' depth/fish finder, GPS, 88 chanel FM radio, compass and Eletronic Charting system. It's got automatic bilge pumps (2), with trailer and electric wench... she was ready to go in the water the day I got her. I've taken her out twice now and she handles like great. With the self leveling feature to the trailer it's very easy to load after use and easier to get into the water. I picked it up for a mear pittance.. A buddy of mine's father-in-law had it and because of health reasons he wanted to get rid of it so he sold it to me real cheap...

Well 2M's ... I took it out Friday from 10 AM until 6 PM and ran maybe 10 miles out and back in ... While I was out I made 4 different drifts... that means (for those of you guys that don't deal with tides much) I went up to the head of the grounds and drifted with the tide and wind until we didn't get any more bites then went back up to the GPS heading I started at and drifted again ... I'd say that each drift was a couple miles long... so given that I probably went 30 to 35 miles in one day ... The boat holds 42 gallons of fuel... I filled her before I left and when I got back she took 14.7 gallons ... That was some pretty hard running too.. we did most of the trips against the tide and against the wind. I had 3 others on the boat so she rode low in the water.
I guess maybe I used 4 or 5 gallons an hour.
We did fish for sea bass, flounder, sea trout and striped bass. We ended the day with 20 sea bass (all legal over 15") and two flounder over 19".

Nice Boat Nulle!! I have to ask, since when I think of Western SD of the streams in the Black Hills, what lakes do you have out there to use a boat that size??
I remember being in North Platte about 15yrs ago and seeing an old WWII PT Boat With The Nebraska Navy Reserve painted on the side. Thinking it was funny till I found out there was a large Lake just SW of there.
Those of us not familiar with your area don't know what's out there.

We have a Very Large dam two miles from my house (Orman Dam) and it is full of walleyes.
It will also make a good Oahe boat and thats about a 3 hour drive.
Pactola Dam has everything from lake trout to sun fish and it is also big enough for this thing
The old saying goes the two happiest days in a mans life is when he buys a boat and when he sells it lol
