After looking carefully at what I'm going to spend next season chasing all the northern Everstarts, I've decided to buy a new/used boat. Well, I want to know EXACTLY what I'm getting, so I have decided to in fact buy Buzz's 896 as soon as I get mine sold. I may have to take a hit on mine, but I know what I'm getting with Buzz's boat and there will be no learning curve come spring because I know the boat inside and out. So I'm staying with Nitro! There you happy! LOL First thing I'll do is put a jackplate on it! So I fully intend to get a NitroOwners.com tourney shirt and stomp some serious tail next year for y'all! I found my full time co-angler that helps get me in. If you have co-anglers sign up with you, it gets you in quicker. Hope to have the schedule soon. So when I come to your neck of the woods next year, you BEST get your rear out to see me and help during prefish with at least a few local tips. I will only prefish on weekends, driving through the night Friday's fishing all day Saturdays, sleeping in my truck that night, fishing Sunday and driving home through the night Sunday nights to work Monday. I need all my vaca for the tourneys themselves! Champlain is the last I believe in Sept. I will be picking brains this winter after the schedule is released. Anyone else fishing? Buzz and I might hit a few LCI tourneys, and he is planning on fishing as a co-angler on the Champlain 'start. I really need to focus on those 4 tourneys both mentally, time wise, and financially so the rally and other tourneys are out of the question next year. It's all or nothing this year, so thanks in advance for your support. Any suggestions on what I ought to name the boat once I buy her? "Kiss This" is the name of the current boat. (This ought to be good!)
