She's a little dusty, but we'll get her cleaned up! We still have full trees coming downstream through the Lock 13's rollers, so it will be alittle while till I get her off the trailer. New prop to toss on and spin! I'm starting to get pumped up for boating season!
Everyone else ready? I know lots have already been out. And you lucky dogs that are out year around, just be glad you can!

Congrats! Good looking Toon. We have been out a couple times here in the Tulsa area but with 68 degree water temps its still not quite time yet.

We've been out a couple of times on the boat. But only up to my knees in the water -- after the numbness, you don't notice the cold water.

I like that covered parking area for your boat. What are the peak and wall heights of the cover?

I had a 15' peak on mine at Tenkiller so I could leave bimini up.

It has 8 foot side walls, center height is 11'8". I just measured it a few days ago to get the cement truck into the back yard to pour my pad for my new 40X60 building. The cement truck is 13' 4". So it has to go up 2'. Or I may mount tires on the frame on tow it into the back.

I love that boat!!!! The dual windshields on that Premier just give it such a nice look.

Thanks, it really gives us alot of protection. We have been working on Manitou to build one for years. This was the reason why we switched from Manitou to Premier. I'm still working on the boys from Michigan to get one built. As soon as they build it, I'll buy it!

It seems like there is never just that "perfect" design, you know? I love those dual windshields, as I said above. What I have not seen is the combination of the dual windshields, plus an I/O, plus the massive sun deck across the back, plus the walkthrough to a large and full width swim platform. That is the combination I would love to see. It would combine everything I love about our boat, with the dual windshields. To me that would be the perfect blend of a tritoon with some traditional glass boat features. Ahhhhh, the perfect boat for me (not necessarily for anyone else) and way we use the boat.

You and I both, brother! I've been working on Manitou to build the exact boat you described, since 2007!
Send you idea to them, together, maybe we can get something built!
