Took Delivery of Our New Boat - Just now

[Stoker1]

Not exactly S&F material, but an enjoyable whip it will be. Just took delivery our 2016 Key West 203 w/175 Zuke. After talking with my nephew who owns the same boat with a T'top, he suggested going with the bimini as it would offer better shade and performance. Front seats with back rests (bow rider style), full rear bench, live wells, storage and even a porta potty. Wife will be happy and we can still hit the Gulf for king's on a decent day.

Sea trial was as expected and towing/ramp duties with the Jeep GC is fine. Any heavier and I might get a little concerned.

If you ever make to the Gulf Shores, Orange Beach area, be sure to holla' at your boy cause we'll be relaxing on the sand bar near the Alabama Point.

Peace & Relaxation,
Jr.

I wanted a Pathfinder flats style with 250 Yamadog but not enough seating for the family. This will have to do.

Big congrads I use to sell those at Action Marine excellent boats well made only service was the back stainless rope eyes would bleed a little rust but it was a strong stainless and was made of a different stainless not brittle. Now catch some fish we have been many miles offshore in the same boat. Good luck great boat. Rick

Awesome boat - we're all boaters here, it doesn't have to be an STV or Allison for us to appreciate how cool that is. Best of luck with it!
I would absolutely love to own a boat like that!

Call me the King of the Peanut Gallery ---> S&F'er at heart, though I'll probably never own anything that runs over 60.

This is our first brand new boat and it was a huge decision to drop that kind of coin. (Dare I say, but it has a new car smell). Warranty and peace of mind were huge factors we took into consideration. Being our fourth boat in two years, it kind of urks me that we wasted that amount of time and effort. But as our friends have stated... it helped us to know exactly what our wants were. Well, all I gotta say is we're stuck with this one for a few years.

Any recommendations for a good cover under $400?

*FUN, Thanks, bud. Its a standard shake and bake cookie cutter neighborhood home, but a few options. We love the area, subdivision has a enough retirees to keep the peace, but enough kids to keep my daughter entertained. 15 min in any direction has you at the Gulf, rivers, intracoastal etc.

Congrats on the new boat, and we all need to have somethin else to just get out on without sucking down a wallet full of gas. Here's a glastron I just picked up just to play with in the salt340158

I put way more time on my practical boats then I do the race boats. Then again you dont really rack up the hours when your cruising at 80. It doesnt take long to get anywhere. Nice thing about the practical boats is she's happy and beer doesnt go flat or into your eyes if you cruise at 30 :thumbsup:

Great boat!
