Thanks Jeff, beautiful boat & I bet that thing FLYS!!

Well I tried the photo village BUT The pics are still TOO big URGGGH :x Some day I'll figure out how to reduce the size

Not as much storage as the Bayliner but, we'll adapt :roll: It's a beautiful boat, clean & 303'd everything insides, put a coat of Flagship on the outside. Now i have to clean the scum that we got on it today dam geese crap!! Other then sideways retrieval :oops: everything else went great,except i didn't get one ONE bite fishing :P But the wife & I relaxed & enjoyed our 1st of many days W/our new toy!!! Can't wait to get past 10 hrs to see her really show what she'll do & get some tubers to go W/us.

Probably the easiest way to reduce an image if you are using WinXP (I refuse to switch since I frustrate easily when forced to search for anything) is a "powertoy" from MS. Follow the link below and download "ImageResizer" then install.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/down ... rtoys.mspx

Simply right-click on any image and choose "Resize Image" from the pop up menu. Then selct the desired pre-defined image size (there are not very many but it is a freebee quickie tool). It will create a reduced size copy of the original image. Sometimes it will loose a bit of the vividness in the color but I have only noticed this when using larger color space profile options in an SLR type camera. Works great for most everything else. :wink:

Oh, P.S. "What she will really do" and "tubers" do not mix very well. Speaking from experiance - I still have a bit of a limp and the admiral claims she had no idea that 40 something would be too fast . . . . :x

As they say, size doesn't matter - it's how you use it...! :lol:

My 190 is a real good size - a great compromise as it takes 8 people and I can easily tow it as it weighs 2 tons all up.

Thanks I down loaded it & am gonna try it now.

I'm not into trying to launch anyone off the tubes & skis. I know 1st hand as I has an A$$hole buddy do that to me several yrs ago. I remember how bad I hurt that i promised I would never do that to anyone I'm towing around.

Thats a nice looking boat. I wouldnt worry about the size , but you will be shocked how much better the FW is to the bayliner in comfort and stability on the water. My past bayliner would slap ontop of every ripple of water rather then cut through it.

Niiiiiice. What a sweet color combo on that rig. Damn, KSJ8 where do you live? :mrgreen: You were a little shy about the size - that area looks like you are fortunate to still have enough left-over to get a canoe. What a beutiful looking lake as well. Admiral isn't too hard to look at either :wink:
