OK its done deal today I got a new/used boat 1999 Triton 17ft with a 115 Johnston Its a great ride I am very happy with the way it handles.Could use little more room up front The leg room at the console is huge. Still need to get a Depth finder & Life Vest  We test drove it at lake Spanaway & stayed to fish the lake most the day only got a bunch of dinks. The 12/24 65lb Minnkotoa pulls that boat around with no problems.

I think you will be very satisfied with the new ride John.  As an added bonus that I did not mention in my IM to you about the boat, folks can now ask;
"How's your Johnson?"

Took the new ride out yesterday 9-1 for first run with the family. I knew I would not get much good fishing in too busy running & working the bugs out. Boat handles great water was rough do to wind & other boat traffic but we cut right thru the waves only had one spine crunch when I jumped a wave to fast. Got her up too 55mph on speedo with all 3 of us in it. We drove long way only used 1/4tank I am trying to use up the gas because its been sitting long time.
Fishing was very tough & I talked to 3 other bass boats same story all dinks.
Kill switch not working
Some water getting in from the drain plug I think

Best part was to hear the screams & see the smile on Rebecca's face.

Very nice, John.  I am extremely happy for you.  Water through the plug might be from livewell connections as they can become quite loose.

Jon,

Boat looks great. Congrats to you.
