    Default Given the blessing to ‘upgrade’.....


    I have busted my butt the past few years at the cost of my free time.
    It’s appears not to have gone completely unnoticed. Out of the blue the wife asked if I was interested in getting that ‘last’ dream boat before the days of not possibly being physically able to do so and enjoy it.

    She knows I’ve done my research over the years and is fully expectant ‘now’.

    Spent the last two days hunting......... War Eagle Blackhawk 2170 fills the bill. Helix 10 Mega SI already on the way.

    I anticipate a drive out of state in my near future
    And the sale of a well loved Tracker to follow.

    Wow...21 ft., I'm scared for the specks already for the amount of poles you could rig it with & that 98" beam should be plenty stable in most any wind conditions....you've covered the work hard part, now you deserve the "play" hard...look forward to seeing the end product

    I know you have talked about it for a while, congrats and great choice. Cant wait to see pics. Man you picked a great boat but a dang tough one to find. I dont even know of a War Eagle dealer in Florida. I do love their boats though. In fact my first was a Duracraft which is the original Ward family business. That was clear back in 1982 and it was used when we bought it.

    Wow, great choice. Congrats on the new slowride
    The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"

    Dang Stu, so excited for you. You been through a lot over the last 3 years or so. You deserve a nice reward. Can't wait to see the ride once you locate and get all set up.
