New Humminbird 917c

Woo Hoo!!!!

My beautiful future bride just asked me if I would rather have a fancy wedding ring or a new fishfinder. My answer was quick and easy!!!

I told her I would get much more satisfaction and use out of a new fishfinder. She then told me to find one that I wanted, so I did! I decided to go with the Humminbird 917c! I was able to get a really good deal on one too!!!!!

I told her I would still purchase a wedding band that I would wear on special occassions. Those of you that know what I do to pay the bills know that I won't wear a ring.

Isn't she great?!!! Yes Harold, she is a keeper!! :smile2::smile2: I think I'll keep her around for a while, or 60 years or so!!! :smile2::smile2::smile2:

She still told me to go order the Pro Cat 240 but I told her I'd rather make a mortgage payment than a boat payment! Maybe one of these days I can make it happen.

Well Ryan! I got that new fishfinder/graph so either boat will do for the tournament!! Can't wait!!!

Thank You MRS RIVER-RAT!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!:smile2::smile2::smile2:

 

This is what I got Bob, The side imaging unit was just under $2k, I just couldn't justify that. I did get a smokin' deal on this one though so I decided to jump on it!

I was on the river quite a bit last year and plan on spending alot of time out there this year as well. I also replaced my aerator pump on the boat with a brand new 800 gph pump!
