Chief of the Boat

Don and I met up on Sunday in so we could sea trial our boats after a year in layup.  I haven't put my fishing gear back in the boat since I had the bottom paint redone, but when your with Don he can accommodate.

Love the downrigger dinner bells.  Great day to be on the water with friends.

   Chief, thanks for those.  Lucky to have some nice water that day.  Looks like Donny's got quite the well-equipped little battlewagon there.  A 19 no less.  See....it's like I said; who needs a bigger boat?  :jester:   BTW, (my opinion only) but that black bottom paint on your rig looks a heck-of-a-lot nicer than the red.   

Have fun,  Yat

My pleasure in sharing.  Don's 21 is the first built and the F115 is one of the first built also.

   Whoa!  Chief, wait a minute.  Donny's boat is a 21?   Don't know why, but it looked like a 19 to me. 

   Yeah, Mark;  A 115?  You'd think a 150 on that boat.  Especially since it doesn't appear to be lightly loaded.  :shrug9:   That said, do you think it's wise to be even questioning our Arima Guru? :whistle:  I think not.  :facepalm:

   Wow!  Almost 21 MPH  @ 4000 RPM with this rig?  I wouldn't have believed it either, without seeing it.

You think the head dude at Arima knows something the rest of us don't?
