I wanted to get a new boat in 2008 but a little gall-bladder explosion kinda made my boat funds go away. This year we found a deal on a 17′ 2001 Nitro 700 LX. It has a 90hp motor, so we’ll be going a little faster than the 10 mph that we were stuck with before.

I’m looking forward to re-rigging a few things like the console chart plotter and the trolling motor.

With three persons on board we got up to 50mph, going into the wind. Our previous boat was lucky to do 10 mph with the under powered 15 hp motor.

We had pondered going to a 17 or 18 foot Lund style boat, so we could use it on the big lake, but decided we would try the bass boat since we like to bass fish and have our other boat for the big lake.

It may not be brand spanking new, but hey, it’s paid for.
