    Last Sat. on my birthday we drove by Heartland Marine by Oran and saw this Alumacraft boat, I stopped and checked it out and really liked it, so Lupe said with our Granddaughter going on 4 years old and she’ll be going out in the boat with us that if I could come up with the money I could get it and luckily I was able to so I bought it this morning!!!

    Nice I bet you’ll make some nice memories in it. I got plenty of memories of fishing with my grandpa, mostly bad Losing fishing poles, motor dying and having to get a tow in, but we seemed to catch fish, caught my first walleye fishing with my grandpa. Well they we’ren’t really bad, but if we would’ve had a little bit better of a boat if would’ve been more fun.

    Congratulations Ed. Nice Birthday present. I looked at that boat when I picked mine up from winter storage just this last Tuesday. Even considered asking Harry what kind of deal I could make on a trade. Hope it works out well for you and your family.

    Thanks everybody, I was hoping to get it on the water this weekend but with it being Easter and the kids coming for dinner it will have to wait until next weekend.
