O.K. I got a refund on the Dave Scadden and ordered a VV. Standard model 8' with livewell bar. Anything else I need to call back and add before they ship?

I'm like a kid in a candy store, and I haven't even seen the candy yet!:D :P :7

Oh yea, I've got a brand new Lowrance X67c to put on it!

IFISH say's,

HA HA, YEAH WOODSAC ! Yet another man converted to Ye' Olde' V.V. ! I am happy for you bro, and In light of what happened at Clear, you deserve to get a nice, super pimpin', "Caddy-of-the-water" kickboat W/ Liewell bar ( extended deck ).
:+ }( :7 I bet the first time you get in it and start rowing like a mad-man, you'll be posting the sheer bliss in which you felt! Oh, almost forgot, I actually have the extended deck, and Dude, it's soooo rad. I'm not sure if you saw my rig, but I have a 15 gallon well on there that is about 28 - 30 " long, and about 15-17" wide. It's fits like butter, and is just a killer livewell set-up. You're in for a treat bro, and I'm happy for you something fierce ! Your game just stepped up about 10 notches, and if those reapers are any sign of your skillz, you're gonna be a force to be reckoned with! }( Congrats Bro, Congrats.

I got my boat today!!!!!!!

I didn't have time to put it together at lunch. What does the livewell bar look like? I just want to make sure I got everything. I noticed a couple guys had like a 'T' handle on their boats to help move it around. Where did you get those?

Can't answer on the livewell bar but the T handles looked to me like the ones you buy to carry ski boots to/from the slopes.

21053, foot pump

did you pick up a foot pump or do you already have one for a boston valve. I'd hate to hear you post that you got the OE and then couldn't find a pump that fit.

I already have a pump and I think my old boat has boston valves. My adapter is kinda big and it pushes into the valve and turn locks into place. Same thing?

Posted by bassinzink, Fri Jun-04-04 12:46 PM
Yep that should do it, if it turns and locks.

Never mind, my Day Tripper has Boston Valves and I can use the same pump for it so I'm covered.

Best accessory I got for my kickboat was this coleman electric pump that plugs into your cigarette lighter. I blow up the pontoons most of the way with that, then top it off with the foot pump. You can inflate both pontoons in just a few minutes that way. If you just have the foot pump, you're huffin and puffin for a while. Being that I hate doing anything excercise related early in the morning, it's a nice thing for tourneys :)

yeah I've been looking at those for awhile especially since I often have to pump up my boat at the tourney site. One day i'll decide to not be so lazy and I'll go buy the electric pump so that I can then be lazy before a tourney :)

IFISH say's,

Yo' CZ, let me know when you decide to NOT be lazy. Maybe you won't forget about those senkos again ;-) :+
