I got rid of the old school skeeter and picked up a 03 Nitro NX896 DC with a Merc 200 and man is it sweet. I took it out this weekend and ran it 70.2MPH with 2 people in it and 3/4 of tank on the river with a strong current. I cant wait to take it to KY lake this March. _________________ SUNLINE ( http://srtroutsupply.com/ ) DOBYNS(http://www.dobynsrods.com/) http://www.brooklynbillstackleshop.comhttp://www.hackberryrodandgun.com/

Man I tell you what. I am absolutely beside myself.
This has been a loooooooong winter and it's finally starting to go away.
This is the year I'm buying mama a new rig and I'm treating myself to a boat. I had my heart set on a bass boat, but lately I've been looking at deep V aluminums. I like the idea of having a full canvas, heated cab and having the ability to plow through rough open water on these big NW lakes, but I like the small footprint of a bass boat...

I see that.
Nice boat.
Unfortunately people around here do not sell their fishing boats to often and when they do they want premium for them. It looks like I may have to travel to get a good deal.
I am going to look at a Range Rover for my wife today though.
Anyone know the tow rating on a Discovery Series II? I looked on the net, but I keep getting different answers. _________________ BlackRock Custom Fishing Rods.

I found a review of the '99 quoting:
"It also has an impressive towing capacity - 5,500 pounds in high range, 7,700 pounds in low range - making it a standout in its class. Finally, it comes with a standard integral Class III plus trailer tow hitch receiver." |

Thanks Centipede.
Sounds acceptable to me...  _________________ BlackRock Custom Fishing Rods.
