there have allready been a few.i sold my last boat at the end of august,after being for sale for all of a week.so mother nature thought it would be funny to extend the open water season.i should still be whackin the steelhead on lk michigan right now.hope to put some scales in her on the way home in january.thats the only cure for my sleepless nights

what a great present !

my new boat arrived in calumet today and i get to go see her tommarow morning.getting up early and making the 4 1/2 hour drive.now the fun begins,get to spend the day figuring out where i want everything.i will get a buch of pics and hopefully get them posted thursday.

I'm excited for you, just reading about it, Cant wait to see it!

Come on come on! Post 'em! Hurry up! Hewes and Raider are built in the same town here in WA. You are going to turn some heads on the lake for sure! What trailer are you getting? Capt PJ

Capt PJ, let's see some boat porn of that Raider!

i went down and saw the boat,took a buch of pics but i guess i need a new camera.it turns on but does nothing else .spent most of the day figuring out where i wanted everything mounted and going thru the boat and made a couple small changes.had them install a 3rd bilge pump to bring the pumping capabilty to 6200 gph,also had them replace all coragatd hoses with smooth wall for better flow.got a spotlight picked out and some underwater lights,i went with red shadow casters.they hope to have her all rigged by the end of the month,then i will be looking for some open water there are a few pics up on the dealers website at http://www.calumetmarine.com
he will be posting pics as the rigging progresses.click on forum and go down to showroom.

I be glad to oblige...but it is raining and really wet outside with a wind, plus she is all buttoned up with her travel cover on.
Here's one after the rub rails were installed...the maroon is gone now...just plain ALLOY.


Still have the canvas.

Here's one without the vinyl stuff.


THIS is Jay D's Place to show off his boat and we are waiting! Capt PJ

Nice boat Capt. PJ.

Thanks for sharing!

i will get a buch of pics and hopefully get them posted thursday.
