Nice photos, and glad it's all you hoped. It's so much more boat than anything you could haul on a trailer from the 1980s - I think you made the right choice. Now we get to help you spend your money on upgrades, maybe some amps and a sub?

Have fun with your new toy, and keep us posted,

Thanks! The trailer lights are right at that "It may be a bit much" level, which is perfect for me! We're having a great time getting her set up for the season.

So explain the Ghost Whispererer.

Ha. Named the boat "Ghost" because we ordered her on Halloween, and a link to an inside joke between us (3). Name on here seemed appropriate because the CS and I communicate well.

Ok awesome story and thought.

Good job on the posts.
Welcome. Like the thought process on the names.
Looking forward to future posts.
What lake do you boat on?

Good Morning Krob,

We're trailering around North Georgia for the time being. Mainly Lanier, Chatuge and Hartwell. Looking forward to getting on some of the NC lakes too.

Before buying new, I traveled aroung looking at boats. Lakes near Knoxville and Atlanta. Went to Lanier twice. Once to Altoona. At Lake Altoona, I visited the sites where the Netflix show "Ozark" was filmed, including the Blue (whatever) restaurant. I forget...but it was cool to see.

Wife and loved Ozark....we always thought it was filmed a LOTTO...worth watching.

Beautiful boat! That red oval really pops. That trailer lighting is crazy. Did the blue LED lighting come with the trailer or did you add that?

Good advice on the two speed winch. I need to get one. The only point of consternation in my boating last year was rarely getting the bow fully up on the front roller. I ended up putting on a front bow ratchet strap to try and snug it into position in case it wasn't fully sitting as high on the roller as needed.. If you are going to trailer a lot, having a smooth load puts the cherry on a great day.

2 speed wench Was best thing I added. I never take it off the low gear setting. I only crank it maybe a ft.
