Well we finally made it out! Just the admiral and I and mascot. Ran great with new plugs. The floor was water logged from 10" of rain we've gotten lately (lake was 6 ft high) we actually hit 20! Almost shot the new flare gun for fun... JK Momma wasn't having it!

Seats are holding up well! Enjoy the pics! Hope everyone is good!

Craig.. good to see y'all getting back out on the water. Man, I need to get my boat serviced and back on Caddo Lake. Haven't touched it in 2 years... But before I can take her out need to get it serviced, including draining that 2 year old fuel out first.

Yep ROLAND I was worried about my old 5 -10 gallons. I treated it last year but it was still pretty stinky. Added 10 gallons and besides taking a bit to start (normal for first due of the year) She ran great. Just do it! Hopefully you catch more fish than I did. :? :?

Always great to get out.
But looking at all those old breadcrumb trails clogging up your Striker screen gives me OCD and want to break a window to delete them. :hammer

We've put 88 hours on ours since I changed the upper oil and lower oil in November. A bunch of family members (kids, grandkids, BIL, nephews, and more) are arriving here starting tonight for an extra-long weekend. The next few days will be way, waaay hotter than normal: 100F, 101F, 102F, 104F, 103F - but the lake is currently 78F so that works!

I will add: "God bless Willis Carrier!" :lol3 :lol3

Right! I'm too busy! it's starting to bother me too. I'll get to it eventually. Then when I'm lost on our 20 mile lake I'll blame you! :rofl :rofl :devillol

I try to delete my active track as soon as I get back to my dock.
I do gave one track that I saved, along with @ 70-80 waypoints that I’ve saved over the years.

Looks like it was a good time. Sometimes it's just so peaceful to cruise along under a cloudy sky.
