Nice!

I was really drawn to your jambalaya photos! Our kids invited us to an outdoor concert at their church in Birmingham this past weekend. They had a number of acts playing all types of music, from Christian to Billy Joel,country & Elton John. The last group was a zydeco group. The lead played his squeeze box and sang in Cajun French and Cajun. The last song of the night was a long version of Hank's classic "Jambalaya". It brought back great memories of our years in S LA. We were in Tiger Stadium for Les' last home game the previous weekend.

Good deal.

I can almost hear Death Valley on Saturday nights.


You live in Smith's Station? Know any Gaither's?

Looks good Jimbo!

If you ever have any issues with Bass Pro service, check out Boat City USA in Hammond as they can do warranty work as well.

Me and another guy on this forum have camps at False River. As you probably know, they dropped the river so all we can do is stare at out boats on the lift till next March.

I'd be curious to know what kind of top speed you get with your setup. I'm sticking a new 150 on my 25', 2 logger.

I was shopping at Boat City.....good folks. This was a deal I couldn't pass......same boat at Boat City with 115 was same price.

That being said, I always said I'd never buy from Bass Pro......I won't be using them for service.

I hear ya on the river being lowered.....I'm at my place in North Louisiana to put corn out and plant at the deer lease, then on to the maiden voyage at my folks place on Caney Lake.

Not bad. I'm getting just over that out of our tritoon with a 150. When they fix the motor height I'll be running around 40 hopefully. Your two toon should be a little faster and more fuel efficient up until 300-3500 rpms as well. Congrats on the new rig.

Very nice. I'd be happy if I could hit 32 mph with the enclosure up when I get my new Yami 150. How about putting your info in the "performance thread" :biggrin2 :biggrin2
