I really like the yellow, but I freakin LOVe that dock in the background. Is that your dock? You dont see many with stone supports. That's a lot of clams floating there.
On our lake you could never build like that because the lake levels fluctuate so much and the docks take a beating. It's like a toilet bowl, either flushing or overflowing during the rainy season. We deal with it by using stand-offs on the docks along with sea anchors.
Also, how do you like that 6.2 motor?

It's my bosses lakehouse on LBJ. It's a constant level lake. It's not a floating dock; I guess it would be a boathouse. It's an awesome place.
Love the motor. Great out of the hole, gets up to the mid-50's, & pulls a three person tube with a full boat no problem.

Welcome from another Texan up in Austin.
I've been wanting to try Canyon for some time, my parents even have a lot down near it (can't build on it), but sadly hit the age where they won't be building, but maybe I will one day.
Sounds like a cool trip to Amistad. I have a good friend in Del RIo that sends me some incredible pictures from his boat trips.

Looks like the same spot he sent a couple drone shots from.

That Baja looks sharp.
It does look like the same area. That waterfall was spring fed. There was a 8-10 foot "pool" where the water was coming out of the rocks that you could sit and have a cold one in. If you didn't mind sitting in cold water (cold for us Texans, anyway)

I got a back log of new members to welcome. I'm back on page 2.
Turtle is in for a rough week. Same with the fish. I'm going out of town and the floors are being redone. Can't get upstairs. Unintentional Turtle Fast.

Nice boat! Yellow looks really good! I really like how yours sits relatively low on the trailer, between the fenders. Mine is a few inches above the fenders.
