    I pickup my new 1875 Pro Guide tomorrow AM, really excited. I have a 1991 Crestliner Viking 1775, that I bought new in the fall of 1991, always wanted to upgrade to one new boat for retirement in a few years.

    24 Volt Vantage on the back and Terrova on the front. Wave Wackers and moved my 999 and 998 to the new boat. 90 HP Mercury tiller with hydraulic steering and troll control. Going to be exactly what I have wanted for years.

    I did finance it, just like my other boat, cabin, acreage, etc., that have all been paid off for years. devil Just throwing a little gas on a previous post from a few weeks back. I have always been one to enjoy life, you never know when it will end. Most people would have nothing if they did not use credit responsibly.

    Going to be a great week of getting everything situated in the boat, breaking it in, and lots of fishing.

    Drool…. bow

    One of my dream boats one day. Lund Pro guide, crest pro tiller, or an aluma comp tiller are all pretty fantastic looking boats. Hope I get to a point later in life I can make a similar post.

    Congrats, post full pics when she’s yours! toast

    Enjoy that new rig, I hope to do the same with my ’98 crestliner in the next decade or so! I have a little more paint to wear off first!

    Thanks guys. Ready to go on maiden voyage tomorrow AM, really amazing how much storage I have! Ten rods in the front locker and five in the side locker in the back. No more rods laying all over the boat when people come with, not using it, in the locker it goes.

    Still have to figure out the best place to put everything, but that will come with time. Will post pictures tomorrow. You can really tell allot of input from the pro staff has gone into the design.

    Some photos of the new boat from this morning, a photographer I am not. Rides like a dream and the 4 stroke is unbelievable, after driving a two stroke all these years.

    Congrats! It looks like that cooler fits perfectly. Isn’t it crazy how quiet those merc 4S motors are, even at WOT? Very nice rig.
