Well, after 10 years with my 206 CC decided to step up to something a little bigger. Getting ready to take possession of a Key West 239 Dfs dual console. I'm excited about the new boat, but a little sentimental about letting the Sea Pro go. It's been a good boat for us. Just a little to small for the conditions on Erie most days.
I don't plan on disappearing though. I've been reading posts on this site for that 10 years and there's always a bunch of great info. I'll still be lurking about for sure!!

Best days of boat ownership. Day you buy and day you sell. You got both, right on!

Condolences and Congratulations..  I have a buddy who won't buy anything but Key West boats.. I've fished on his many times. If a 239 is built as well as their bay boats, (and I'm sure it is) I think you're going to like it. |

I think you'll find that a fine boat, congrats.

Congrats on new boat. Hope it’s everything you’re looking for. Invite the next owner of your SP to join us. Don’t go away. I’m sure with your experience, you’ll always have something to offer.

I'd post some pictures if I could figure out how to get into my photobucket account. 013
I'll work on that part.
I've been on this board to long to go away. I'll be getting some experience with Yamaha outboards with the Key West, so I could always comment there. It's got a 250HP SHO on there. I'll have some things to learn with it. First boat with trim tabs. It has a pump out head so that will be a learning experience, and some other things I'll run into for sure.
It will be nice to have the additional protection. It's got the hardtop and windshield. That will be nice for the Great Lakes. It gets cold up here, and conditions out there can be pretty bumpy most days.

 Picked it up today. Our Sea Pro is already sold on the trade. Someone had called the dealer looking for one. |

Was hoping to take a ride before I put it away for winter. This nonsense pretty much put an end to that. Next ride in the spring. Lake Erie is evil sometimes.
TONIGHT
Northwest gales to 35 knots diminishing to 30 knots. A
chance of waterspouts. Rain showers likely with a chance of
thunderstorms early, then a chance of rain showers from late
evening on. Waves 5 to 8 feet building to 7 to 10 feet. Waves
occasionally around 13 feet.
