Ever wonder what a years supply of WAF looks like? Meet my new toy!

Thanks guys.  Seems about every night I get the kids down for bed, grab a beer, go outside and tinker with it, then step back and go "holy crap, it's mine"!  Those pics are a week old or so, she looks twice as good now.  We're hitting the water this weekend, one way or another so I'll post up some new pics.

The mothership idea would be a blast, I was trying to figure out how we could get a pair of yaks on it.  Either on their side along the console (hanging up quite a bit), or stacked broadside up front with the bow rail removed.  Probably alot safer/easier just to rope them all together and make a train.

I hear you on the Outrage Otter, the Montauk is a bit cramped for space but for what I plan to do (inland lakes, bay/delta, inshore rockfish, trailer trips) it's perfect.  Light enough to tow anywhere, economical to run, and safer than anything else out there.

You only have a mild case of new boat-itis.  Slept in my cuddy the day I brought it home......"just to see how comfy" it was 

That's awesome, I told my wife I was going to do the same thing, but the 30mph winds and rain storm quickly drove me back inside. 

Nice boat, but I'm confused.
Did you save up WAF for a year, in order to purchase the boat?
Or did you purchase the boat and now have negative-WAF until May 2011?
I may soon find myself in the same, uhhh, boat lol.

Cool ride man!  So where do we put the kayaks? 

Very sweet boat. One of these days in the not too distant future, I'll have to go the same route. Just about impossible to get the wife and two kids out on the water in human powered craft.

Gotta save them points up first, if you go negative at any point in time she'll be dangling you like a puppet on a string.  My yak hasn't seen the salt since last Memorial Day, and only been in freshwater three times since then.  Lots and lots of honeydo's, and selling off lots of my "man-crap".  My technique:
1.  Take inventory- I didn't need 4 small outboard motors, two aluminum boats w/ trailers...sold this stuff over the past few months and got me 1/2 way there.  A few rod/reel combos, some extra tackle...all toward the cause.
2.  Birthday,X-mas,anniversary---might sound like a tightwad, but if anybody asked, I just told them to make a small contribution to "the cause" in exchange for a fishing trip.
3.  This is a biggie----keep the $ away from her!  If you put it in your regular checking account, it's a goner.  If you keep it in your sock drawer she'll sniff it out.  I actually opened up my own savings account.
4.  Don't buy until you can pay cash.  Goes back to the puppet on a string syndrome so many guys find themselves in.

tight lines all,

Congratulations on the new Fish Slayer Montauk.

And thanks for the WAF bullet points...

Very sweet ride!!

I'm with you though, ain't taken a boat that size (even though you could break into pieces and all the pieces would float) out to the Farrallons. No way..

Congratulations on your new toy.
