New Boat!

HAHA! I am so happy. After working with an engine that can't be fixed I am retiring the "Can't be Seen", named after one of the fisherman on it said "I Can't be Seen on this boat". A sad day, the boat ran fast and real shallow with an armor flex bottom for getting close to the action. Its 12 gallon tank gave us a 200+ mile range. WOW! Anyway, the new boat is a 20' 89 Galaxy Cuddy Cabin. Big engine, big gas guzzler probably, but it start right up which means sold in my book. Got a sucker, I mean friend, to do the interior work over for some dive trips, a win-win in my book. Anyway real excited about so I wanted to share. Anyone with tips on this boat send them my way.

 

LMAO!
Congrats on the new boat John!

 

Thank you! In true fashion we will probably be on the water tonight. Just waiting on a bigger truck to move it, figure might as well use the biggest truck we can to move it the first time in case it is heavier than the sticker says. The first time we took out the Can't be Seen, we had to do some paddling and the bilge buckets got some use, I think this will be a smoother ride. About time too, I need a boat taller than can make it out of the Inlet.

 

WHAT???? You tell us about your flippin "new" razzle dazzle boaty boat, and you include NO pictures? NONE what so ever? Who pee'd in your wheaties???

 

you thought there would be pics? hy my name is john maloney, nice to meet you. I am working on my camera situation, I have refused to buy a new one because I can't get the battery charger, should probably just get one, but I am stubborn. will post pics of this boat, so much better than the last one

 

Yeah, I was expecting pics too.

I am boat guy myself, so I understand, and actually am trying to get my ski nautiques motor to run right at the moment. My boat , while old, is a beautiful boat, but it is running like crap right now, and I am doing all I can to fix it so I can go wakeboarding asap.
Do you have a link to post of your boat?

I will go first...

 

nice interior, looks like a fun boat. this boat was used for watersports before, it is this guy:

1989 21' Galaxy w/ Cuddy Cabin

but not the same boat. mine is pretty ugly, would need some new paint and 25 hours of work on the interior to get in that shape. i just want to be on the water though, so that may wait a bit.

 

Have fun John. Congrats!!!

 

Is this going to be the offical CUC dive boat?

 

thanks! It may be, needs to prove its sea-worthiness before I bother with the commercial registration. Came with a dive ladder though, so I think this boat will work out just fine. Will definitely have a lot of fun on it either way. Wish the sides were a little less steep, would make for a better fishing boat, the design is really for water skis and such. Might be something to do too. What I am really looking forward to is using it to get to the couple 1000 spots I have mapped out, but couldn't reach because 3 foot seas are hazardous in the Cant Be Seen. (My friends say I am a bit of a chicken when it comes to boats, especially around inlets, but I think they are nuts...me being the only one who can really swim, I wonder why they are so brave in the ocean....)
