    Default Proud new owner. First big boat!


    Well guys and gals, I am now the proud new owner of a 1990 sea nymph tournament tx150! It's 15' with a 2002 Johnson 25 hp motor and a 2011 motor guide trolling motor. It came with everything needed except for 1 seat in the back and fish finders. I'll be putting my garmin dv151 on it soon. I'm so excited I can't contain my self. Can't wait to get this baby out on the water and start filling it with crappie and all other sorts of aquatic tablefare.
    And this brings me to my first question about a boat. Does anyone have any tips for getting the old registration stickers and numbers off?? I'm trying a plastic scraper / razor blade and goofoff. I've been using a hair dryer to warm up the glue. But it's still pretty slow going. And tips? Also accepting any and all tips and suggestions for helpful modifications or things to look out for. This being my first big boat I have a lot to learn. Thanks again guys!

    Congrats on your new ride. Good luck with the catching too. Nothing like having a "New to you" boat just waiting for you to get on the water. BTW, try a heat gun or good hair dryer on the letters. Makes them soft and easier to remove. Happy fishing!

    Congrats on a fine rig there. Maybe a body shop heat gun with razor blades on the decal removal.

    If you have a angle grinder stop by a parts house and pick up a decal removal tool it's a brush looking wheel that will pull the stickers rite off! Congrats on the new boat! Good luck and enjoy!

    Congrats on the boat. Very similar to my Sea Nymph Bass Attacker with 40 HP. Mine has lasted for 25 years and still going strong. It will smell like fish for many years
