Outboard has just under 400 hours. According to most things you read the OX66 from Yamaha are capable of upwards of around 1500hrs or more...
It is one of the most solid 2 strokes made. I just hope it lives up to its reputation!
Yeah, you made a great deal...hopefully you get decent life out of the outboard...A new one costs as much as you paid for the boat.

Cool...400 hours is just broke in good...It's hard to tell in the picture...is that a 21 or 24?
Sweet
No one has mentioned this so I'll open up a can here;
Whatcha' gonna name it?
Gotta have a name...
"Money Pit" is a good one. A boat is just a hole in the water you throw money into.
It has a name currently, i think it is Holicia.
No idea what that means, but we will definitely have a renaming ceremony once i come up with something clever.
It is a 24ft Cobia Walk around, well, technically 23 and 10 inches....
VERY nice! I recently bought a boat too but not as big as yours, it's an 18ft bow rider. I'm a lake/recreational guy since we're only an hour or so from 3-4 lakes. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being out there in the bays and some off shore. If I had the $$, I'd keep a nice bay boat boat down at the coast.
when im old and retired im going to sell everything i own, buy a 50 ft+ yacht and just live on it in a marina.
no taxes.
SP, if conditions hold it looks like we are going down Monday night and heading out Tuesday...when are you guys going?
12k? Nice!
Yo can u get a TV and watch football on those things?
Oh yeah. That Viking my buddy is looking at has 3 flat screens. It's like a 3 bedroom condo that floats and can go 40mph.
Oh man...sold!
I'd take it at least once to at&t park to watch a game (and hopefully not catch a foul ball in the windshield)
Awww man I wanna go fishing on a boat.
I thought it was bad luck to rename a boat?
Certain things must be done in your renaming ceremony, but it can be done.
We just got back. Took her out yesterday afternoon just for a ride. put in at Con Brown Harbor in Aransas Pass and putted up the channel while my wife made some sandwiches and my son marveled at all the dolphin in the water.
Went out a bit past the jetties, but it was just deadly still (no wind). Son started getting way to hot with his life jacket on and no wind, so we just stayed near the jetties, played around a bit, then went back in.
Not bad for her maiden run. I cant wait to head out to fish though.
Sweet.
No pictures?
We started on our way and i told my wife, "hey let me see the camera"
Woops....she (we) didn't bring it.
Our first ride in the new boat and no camera. Oh well. Definitely next time.
I'm leaving work after lunch today. We plan on clearing the jetties at sunrise tomorrow...
Conditions for the rest of the week look great. Wish i was going.
OK, back empty handed and beat to but it was a good day. Those go-fast boats are nice when it's time to come home but they hurt you...they don't sit fat and low like your Cobia so you are constantly holding tension/bouncing/adjusting just to maintain equilibrium. Definitely wasn't a flat two....more like a 3-5 washing machine chop going out..I will try to post some pictures tomorrow. Hit black water at 17 miles. Weed sucked. No major weed lines, just scattered weed everywhere. With only two of us it was a constant job clearing lines. We didn't even bother to put the outriggers out because of the weed. Water was spectacular at 45 miles...flying fish everywhere, some semi-weedlines...we were jazzed, but for some reason couldn't hit any dorado or wahoo...really strange, because the water was as good as I've ever seen it in the gulf...kept hitting huge hunting groups (75-100 per pod) of porpoises so the bait fish were there. Finally got a marlin rise about 11:45... a medium sized blue...probably about 200#...came up on a green/yellow kona head and smacked the out of it...chased whacked, chased whacked...finally squared off and hammered it...ripped most of the skirt off but somehow didn't hook up...couldn't get him back after that...and that was it for the day...

North Jetty @ sunrise

Nice reels!
How far did you guys make it out? Do any good?
Just saw the post above this...
Ignore
Yea, i imagine with all the churning out there, it was liable to be pretty tore up.
Sucks you guys didnt get into more fish...but at lease you got to get out on the water. That is always a +
