    Hey guys! Hope you don’t mind that I started a new thread for my boat.
    I’ve had two 1880’s prior to this one. Both had Optimax’s on the back. Now that the kids are old enough to start going fishing with me, I wanted a little quieter engine on the back. I’ve been a Mercury man since day one, so I had to go that route again. This will be my last boat for quite some time. I spent lots of time making sure it is rigged the way I wanted it. Still have a few more extras to go, but for the most part, she is ready to go.

    Extra special thanks to Bob at Mr. Marine in Fond du Lac, WI. He did an awesome job setting this boat up from scratch. He’s done numerous Verado installs, so I trusted him to do mine. I can’t wait to get it out. I might have to take a trip to pool 4 just to get it wet. I don’t think I can wait another month or so around here. At least she is nice and warm on the showroom floor for now. Bob, you ROCK!!!

    Here she is….

    Nice rig, I’m sure your kids will enjoy it, and probably put the first stain in the carpet!

    very nice! I’ve been staring at a maroon Skeeter at my local dealer also. I love that color.
