Do this and your vessel shall forever see fair winds and calm seas.

Damn Ed, I wish we were closer, I could see us having a hell of a good time!!! LOL

Congrats on the new toon, but please check with your dealer about Beachcomber. They're mfg. facility is about a half mile from our place at Lake Eufaula, Oklahoma, and I'm pretty sure they're out of business. There has not been anyone there or any activity for about 3 months.

Thanx----I was concerned also---dealer had them at the big Houston boat show week before last..---and I've bought from him before...
Wonder if he is showing '08 models.....I'll call him tomorrow...

Emailed Beachcomber---got reply saying they had cut back on hours, etc thru fall and winter but had a better than expected amount of new orders from the boat shows and were getting ready to fire up again. Hope so. My dealer did say my 2-3 week delivery window had slipped to 4-6 weeks because of the amount of orders.

Really appreciate the heads up. Any info will be appreciated--thanx

Congrats on the new boat. It should move with a 90 on it.

Lots of when you have it delivered.

Congrats on the new toy! We'll be waiting for the pics!

Congrats on the new toon, I just bought a new one in NOV! Three payments and still waiting to use it!

[wwind3]

Hi gang----FINALLY!. The new toon is safely tucked away in its new home. Won't get it wet till Monday. Ended up getting a LOWE SS204 fish model. Beachcomber bellied up and I had to start all over. Didnt cost me anything but time fortunately.

Had trailer issues. Karavan dual axle with brakes. Rt brake locked up when stopping. Took them 3 tries to fix it---hope all is ok now. FYI--they tried adjusting the brake, raising the hitch height to put more wt on the back axle---no joy. Final solution was to switch the axles and put the braking axle in front, Only one axle has brakes.

As usual I guess i was the first person who ever bought a boat trailer to have this problem---felt like I was talking to Martians trying to resolve the prob----but it drove home ok---about 25 miles.

Pulled it with my '03 Trailblazer--Pulled and stopped ok altho ride was choppy-prob the stiff boat suspension and short wheelbase of the TBlazer. Only issue---temp gauge on the TB jumped up about 3 clicks. Normally runs 1 click left of the 210 degree mark--now about 2 clicks rt of the mark. Outside air temp around 80---so may be a prob this summer in the Texas heat. Did notice when I turned south into a 20 knot wind the temp dropped 2 clicks---kinda interesting. I have a tranny cooler I think on the car so may have to get a larger radiator. Any input on this will be appreciated.

Anyways---I'm excited and thanx again for all the help--I'll post pics as soon as I can.

Congrat on the new toon. I've been pretty happy with my Lowe. It will be 5 years next month (1 more payment)and I've only had a few small issues I've fixed myself. It's never been back to the dealer.

BTW, I have a 90hp 2-stroke and 23" `logs and it runs 23.5 mph per GPS. Your's beening 2' shorter may get into the upper 20's.

[mikeherb]

You like the two stroke. 150 lbs is a lot for an 18' boat so I think you chose well. Less maintenance also.

Can't comment on the trolling motor.

Post up some pics when you get it.
