Another Boat on it's way

[GEE50FX]

As many of you know, we sold our 24'Hardtop to get a bit smaller boat so we could trailer it to different fishing locations along with keeping it in our harbor slip in our little town.
We went with the same make boat but a couple thousand pounds lighter and a few feet shorter.
It is another Campion Explorer, it has a very small cuddy, outboard powered, self bailing cockpit, perfect for fishing.
Here are a couple of pics of it at the Dealers, the motor they had on it was two small for me so I am having them order a 150HP Mercury 4 stroke to replace the motor that is on it. I have to wait 4 weeks until the new motor gets here.
My Nissan Frontier Crew Cab should tow it very easily.

Thanks my friends, I was too busy yesterday to post pics, I was busy dreaming about fishing, boating and setting up this new boat to post pics.
I had calculated everything out so I could fit this new boat in my garage for storage. I even had the Dealer modify the trailer with a swing tongue so I could squeeze it in the garage (they had never heard of a swing tongue. It was tense when I backed in the driveway but I managed to get it in, after I lowered the front of the trailer.
It towed like a dream and I am sure we will have lots of fun with this boat next season. This boat is almost 3000 pounds lighter than my last boat.

Here are a ton of pics:

The Swing tongue on the trailer to give me more room
