I enjoy open bow boats, but then again I’d use it more as a party platform then anything else.

It needs:  
-Nothing

It will get:  
-Depth finder (I’ll probably just mount a dial gauge to the dash)  
-New head unit since the stocker is a cassette radio. $100 will get me one with an ipod interface and a remote  
-Beer

El Capitan’ Fry. Thats a cute boat. Are You gonna rent a slip or trailer it?  
Try to get used to going out during the week, as saturdays on the river are a nightmare in summer.  
I miss my boat, not enough to buy another but it was a good time

:wstupid: Party platform and/or something relaxing for the wife and I to do together. Drop anchor, cast a line, and bob the day away while she sunbathes.

Trailer it. If I’m going to go out more than once a weekend I might leave it at my father-in-law’s dock on East River Rd. He’s got room for two. 😛
