Congrats. The next necessary investment for a new boater is a chart plotter with the Winni chip. It isn't a substitute for a paper chart but it will help you along the learning curve. Best of luck

Enjoy the boat and the lake. We were all new to it at some point. Only been a few years for me and it gets better every season. We'll see you on the lake!

You are indeed a boater now!

As witnessed by your catching the "two foot itch" even before taking delivery of your first boat!

Rattletrap, congrats. on the new boat! I think you will love that Command Thrust Mercury outboard. The new Boston Whaler I bought last year has a 60hp Command Thrust outboard and the boat really flies.
