Reply With QuoteI take it this is the one you were telling me about?

I'll be in my office around 8:00. Stop by.
Just picked it up today. Still have to put graphics (Dennis, check your PMs), radio and lights on it.

150 Verado (http://www.boatcop.com/pontoon4.jpg)
I'm picking up the new Whalers in Vegas on Tuesday.
This is like Christmas in April.
Only a 150 Verado on a 27' toon, I take it the new Whalers are for chasing down those who try and out run the pontoon

Where will the RD SUX tag reside on this vessel Alan?

I originally wanted the 225 on it, but the upper deck raises the CG, and they wouldn't certify it for more than 150hp.
We know it's not going to be a chase boat. It's primary purpose is for an OUI operations platform in areas where we don't have ready access to an Intoxilizer. (It'll have one installed on it) We plan to use it on the South Basin of Havasu, the Lower River (Ehrenberg/Cibola). The patrol boats will do the actual enforcement, and bring them to the 'toon for processing. We'll make it available for multi-agency OUI checkpoints in other areas. (Mead/Mohave/Havasu. etc)
We'll also use it for outreach programs. We plan to adorn it with banners, and anchor it in high-use areas, such as over in the calm spot just below Rock Island, and have a lot of give-away stuff. PFDs, floating key chains, other Boating Safety related items. Basically a floating Boating Safety Information Center.
It'll also be used for Dive/Rescue operations. We're putting our SONAR, underwater video, metal detector, etc on it, and space for extra tanks. That's the main reason I wanted the upper deck. To observe the divers, and get a high-up vantage point while looking for victims. I'm installing a 110VAC generator to support that equipment, resuce lights, etc.
I'm pretty excited about this thing, and can't wait to get it on the water.
Looks like a stripper pole would be a good addition......

No frickin' way. We're broke as hell.
But as long as everyone keeps buying boat gas and registering their boats in Arizona, the State Grant money for boating and Lake projects will keep flowing.
And for all of you who DO fuel your boats and register them here, I thank you.
