New Boat - Ranger Z520 - Agust 10th

Well the day finally came to make the drive to Lake Havasu to pickup the new ride, 2012 Ranger Z520 with Mercury 250 Pro XS. I was stoked and couldn't think of anyone better to go with me to get it than my step-dad, who started me out in tournament fishing. The 3.5 hour ride there was nerve wrecking but a blast, Fred's new Ram MegaCab Dually is incredible. I had seen the boat in pictures but it looked even better in person. Justin had the boat completely detailed for me and wanted to take it out on the lake to explain all the new options and show me the all the fun extras in it.
We launched the boat and I didn't realize it was throttle run, have always had a Hot Foot, it scared me at first when hit it but got used to it pretty quickly. We cruised around the lake for an hour or so and he showed me different areas and how to find them on side scan etc plus gave me some awesome fishing advise that he's learned along the way.
Once back we had a few snags with needing longer wiring for the trailer to the plug but Justin offered to help and even paid for lunch. He helped the entire time and I am happy to have been able to purchase his boat, he is a standup guy and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. The boat has tons more room in the front and insane storage and all the new options I was missing on my other Ranger.
