New Toy

Got a new toy today. It's been a couple months of searching Craigslist, local marinas and the paper before I finally pieced together a total package. I wanted to get a boat that I could motor up larger rivers with, but be able to row it when water gets skinny. Plan on using it a lot this fall on the Niagara. The boat is a 14ft Landau jon boat paired with a 7.5hp Mercury 2 stroke. I plan on putting a deck on the front and repainting it, but it is water ready as we speak. 

What should I name her?

    1. We'll have to exchange notes on deck design. I am stifled with too many ideas on how to put one on. Lot of work in front of us!

    1. Thanks Jasper. That site is pretty rad. Some of those dudes have some pretty wild projects.
