Now this is just going to be the start of my pictures. I'll post all future pictures on the "pictures site" but I want everyone to see this post!!
Ok - to keep this easy to follow, I'm not goinng to elaborate or pontificate much on my trip. I'll just post the pics with a little caption. If you interested or would like additional information please send me a pm and I'll be more than happy to share my experience with you.
Oh, before I forget. You know we all do rookie things and I'm not too proud to tell you mine. The day I took my wife and dad out - I left the plugs to the bait-well 0ut. I ran the boat all day with the entire bait-well full of water and didn't know until I put her back on the lift. Not a drop of water splashed on the deck to warn me of my mistake. HA
Here we go... Ready? of course you are......
Thursday 1530 I roll up to the Auto-train in Lorton Virginia for my trip to Sanford Florida
Dinner was outstanding....
I arrived in Sanford the next morning around 0930 and headed to Dusky. After meeting everyone Heather escorted me to my new boat... Then Altalo took me and my new friend Garry - who is waiting to take delivery of his new boat on the sea trial...

I have to say, that is a fantastic looking boat. I don't know why they aren't more popular down here. Even the bracket looks cool with its lines, which is rare for a 20 footer.
any performance numbers yet?
i'm also wondering if anyone else noticed how low the engine seems to sit in the water? the water line seems alot closer to the cowling than normal.
you're gonna love that E-TEC, by the way!
I saw this boat at a gas station last Monday near the bay bridge and just had to go over and talk to the owner. It's every bit as good looking as in the pictures and the owner was justafiably proud showing me the rig front to back and telling me the Dusky story. Real nice boat and a happy owner.
Just got my boat home.. (pics)
