Captain again!

#1 Post by curtiscapk » Tue May 31, 2016 9:19 am

When your possibly laying on your death bed certain things run through your mind. Getting on the water again was one of mine. Check that one off! I think I have water in my toons but I did hit 20 for a bit, 18 is fine with me though. Lots of logs on Sunday the dock was covered in them. Led to nervous loading! :prayer All in all a great time that none of us thought would come 5 months ago! New truck was awesome pulling THE FLOATER as well. It was kind of muddy, but everything cleaned up for the most part.

I noticed that your picture showed the miles per hour of your boat on your smartphone. Our pontoon boat does not have a speedometer and I would like to know how fast we are going. How do you do that? Thanks
