New Toy for the River Rover...

[GregLS]

Those of you who have been at the last two Kids Fishing Day's may remember the The Ole Man and I bought a boat from FairWeatherFisherman. TOM and I have restored the boat and it is now a nice flat olive color with "River Rover" in nice graphics on either side. Here is a pic from 2 years ago at the Kids Fishing Day before it's paint job..

As you can see from the pic the motor I bought before I picked up the boat was to short for the boat. Well Today I ordered a replacement and here it is...

This is a 1998 55HP Johnson with a PUMP JET instead of a prop. This is not the same as a jet foot like you may have seen on Chris Scalley's drift boat.

For more info go read about it here and tell me what you guys think...

If you are really intrested in one please let me know and I'll be glad to put you in contact with my seller as he still has a few of these left.

I hope to get this by Friday so I can try it out on Saturday!

I'll try to post pictures once it's mounted on the River Rover!

OH YEAH! Go look in the Swap Shop for the Mercury 20hp for sale. :)

Hey Greg I would like to have one of those. Do you think it would push my Fishcat ''toon''? :)

[GregLS]

Ghost your on the list for stripers but I didn't think you'd venture far from the 'Hooch! ;)

dwood, careful there, your gonna get my thread deleted by the moderators! ;)

JD Squire, nice avatar BTW, I think it'd get that toon over the shoals with ease, all the way to the moon. :)
