I have had the pleasure of fishing La Jolla by kayak and dingy for the last 5 or 6 years and she has rewared me with many memories as well as a few friends along the way.

For the past 18 months I haven't had a chance to visit this little slice of heaven because I have been working 60 hour weeks and have had no life to speak of.

Well after 18 months of hard work (and 5 weeks of vacation saved) I felt it was time to reward myself so I went out and purchased a new Chevy Colorado and a 3 year old Triumph 17cc with a 60hp Yamaha with 50 hours on it.

I know this is a Kayak website but I have a few friends out there and hope to see you on the water soon (wake less of course).:sifone:

I don't think the dinghy had anything to do with you making friends in La Jolla, though. That's just because you're a cool guy, bro.

That said, the new boat might have acquaintances coming out of the woodwork in a hurry. Nice little ride!

I can't wait to get towed up to Flat-Rock, again; let me know when you want to make a mess of that sparkling clean, deck. :cheers1:

haha gas offer numero uno....


just kidding....congratulations on finding your way back after all the hard work. good looking car and boat. sounds like you deserve it.

But seriously, if you are ever lookin for someone to ride along, let me know. Live in Dana Point and always willing to kick down money for gas/bait/beer/etc.

A gentleman from Carlsbad purchased the boat new for $21,000 in Jan of 2007. Boat had 50 hours and I paid $9,700.00. Boat has a Yamaha 60 hp 4-stroke engine.

A buddy of mine has a boat pretty much the same. They are nice, and smooth. Does it have the small bait tank ender the bow seat in front of the CC? My buddy and I were heading out one time and the secondary drain for that is into the boat itself. So you may want to consider a different type of bait tank. I think he installed one just behind the driver's seat.

Anyway it looks like a fun ride, I'm sure you're going to enjoy that.

Yeah I agree. I am getting her fitted with oval bait tank, VHF, GPS/FF, dual batteries and if there is any money left a custom lean post & folding t-top. May take me 3 months to finish but I have time...

The 4-stroke engine will save on gas big time!!
