Default First time

Howdy all;
Thought I would take a minute to introduce myself for this first time.I have been on the outside reading everyones inputs for some time now and have totaly enjoyed every minute of it.Finally after many years of boat shows with the guys I got the fraline to come along.And to my suprise got the thumbs up to upgrading boats.She really liked the thunder jets and duckworths and I have to agree with her they are PRETTY!! Well when the time is right I will have somthing to look foward to. And boy I can Hardly wait!!!
Sorry no wild fishin stories to tell just love to be there hookumup!!!!!

Oh ya any reports from the North Fork today
can't decide where to go tomorrow.

Thanks for any help.

Welcome to IFISH! Ducks and TJ's are very nice boats. We are lucky to have several quality boat makers here in the NW. I love NorthRiver boats but have nothing bad to say about the others.
I hope you get the boat of your dreams....I did! :grin:

Welcome Hookumup,

My wife and I bought a new boat in 2000 at the Sportsman Show, so I have been avoiding the Boat Shows for awhile. I don't want to drool over other designs and new features that would cause me to be disappointed with my 19' Harbercraft with 70 hp Suzuki.

skipper , I was looking at the HarberCraft boats for some time they look like a solid boat
did you get it at browns.If yes did you see the Raider boat they had at the show.I thought I had picked the perfect boat until the wife said she did not like it.I had to agree once I saw the price of the t.j.'s

Hi Hookumup,

We looked at a lot of boats. A few of the decision criterion were, windshield, full top outboard, good value for quality, high sides, and light enough for a Ford Explorer.

We found the HarberCraft 19' Nahanni at the 2000 Sportsmen's Show at the Expo at Magnum Marine's display. We even talked with the president of HarberCraft, Byron Bolton who was a pleasure to talk to. It was the last booth we stopped at before leaving the show and left after ordering an entire package. Their sales were so strong that year, that they raised the price by $3,000 in 2001, and we were glad we bought it in 2000.

BTW - Some people on this site may get a little upset if new people don't tell an obligatory fishing story.

Cheerio'
