Well I finally got my bass boat.

[kylebuck]

I bought a 1998 Triton TR-18 with a 2.0 150 Mariner on the back of it. 80 lbs Minn Kota Fortrex on the front, and a big thank you to GreenEnvy for hooking me up with the owner of this boat, and made the purchase possible!
I have wanted my own bass boat since I started fishing for bass about 10 years ago. I finally have my own.

Now, SHUT UP AND FISH!!! :cheers:

[ApexOversteer]

Sweet ride man, but I'm pretty sure the flake in the paint isn't big enough for it to be considered a true bass boat...

[vtelvr]

Nice looking boat!

[Marc]

Very nice. Good luck with it :cert::cert:

Thank you, I figure I could go out in a bar and spend 30-60 bucks a night or just put the money in something I really want.

[Chuck A]

very nice, indeed

[Grey Ghost]

Congrats ! Did it come with any electronic gear ? I'm sure you already know this. But, keep a check on those wheel bearings and use the proper grease for packing.

[GS Ragtop]

Saw-weet! Nice looking boat - how about some interior shots?

Now to save up for an I-Pilot... :seasix:

That's automatic oil injection right? My 225 Johnson is a 2 stroker as well, but I still kill my share of mosquitoes on start up. Lots of power though.:yesnod::rofl:

I learned this the hard way, but always be ready to take donations to the "gas fund" from passengers, even suggest it! You'll burn through a hundred bucks at least for a days running. Unless of course they're girls opting for the 'sans top' package!:D
bare :boobies: ride free! :thumbs:

[Fastguy]

Again? :lol:

You only do that once. :)
We launched my brother's 260 cabin cruiser and I was parking the truck and trailer I see him dive off the back of the boat. He said, "I heard this sound like a horse pissing and realized I left the plug out".

If anyone is fishing with me it's in my clubs rules for the expenses to be split. Other than that.... My buddies already know the drill

Nice boat Joey :yesnod: You did well getting a Triton. :seasix:

Now go pull the hubs and repack the bearings. Make sure your tires are properly inflated and you have a good spare.

Tires are good, and it has bearing buddies! Couple of pumps from the ol grease gun and im GTG

[Blademaker]

Niiiiiiice :seasix: :dance:

[JRD77VET]

Bearings are under $15 a hub set. $30 plus grease lets YOU know the exact condition of the bearings.

The rollers and bearing races should be "chrome shiny". Any areas that are dull (grey) means there is wear. Cheap insurance :yesnod:

Do you have your USCG safe boating cert? I get a 10% discount on my boat insurance from State Farm with it.

Whether you have a motorcycle or not, I would suggest joining the AMA since they offer road side assistance , including trailers for $39 a year.

What is the AMA?

Next purchase, if you don't already have one, is an auto-inflate life vest. The auto-inflates keep out of the way of casting and will save your life if you get bumped off the boat at speed. :seasix:
