whichwaysup Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Proud to have the 2nd oldest boat on this thread! She may not be new, but she's a testament to how well these boats are built. Original Engine and that Yamaha runs like a top. Man I love this boat. She spends most of her time fishing striper and B*** in the VA mountains, but comes down to her more natural environs of St. Pete to work the flats.

whichwaysup Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Been working on her - A little wet sanding and polishing and that old gel coat really shines. Big improvement from the new shiny shark eye lights. And put a fancy little HDS Gen 3 Side Scan unit on a ram mount. A few pics below: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Well, very very sad to see her go, but her younger sister will have to carry on the legacy. Happy to see her go to a great father and son who I know will take good care of her. Hope to watch her on this forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is still out there - they gentleman that I sold her to has repowered her and she is still out there catching fish. I've owned a lot of boats over the years, I've NEVER owned a boat that does everything as well as the MA. Keep updating your posts on your boat - we love to see these classics taken care of!
