Kyle's hopes and dreams finally came true this past weekend. (and I'll admit, I was pretty excited too!) After months of searching online for the perfect used bass boat ... Kyle stumbled upon a 2006 Stratos Pro XL with an Evinrude 200 Engine for the perfect price. After some aggressive efforts to approve the engine report, look into all the bells and whistles, secure financing and apply for insurance (all within a couple days, mind you - Kyle is apparently very efficient when there's a bass boat on the line!) ... we hit the road for Medina, TN!
That's right ... 7 hours across the map to check out the boat, take 
her on a test drive, write a ginormous check, hook her up to the Trailblazer, and turn around to haul her 7 hours back home. We even took the opportunity to cruise to Mississippi for lunch in order to cross another state off of our list in our quest to visit all 50 by the time we're 30. Of course, I'm winning that challenge, but for not flying until he was 20, Kyle is really not far behind!
The Irishman from Tennessee, Kelly, that sold us the boat had taken great care of it. He was meticulous about organizing his garage and keeping his truck and the boat spotless. That and the fact that he was super nice, had a great job in a nice neighborhood, and answered all of Kyle's questions ... we felt really good about the deal. After a successful test drive, the Trailblazer worked pretty hard to haul our new baby across the map and safely home to Bella Vista.
Don't we look good with our new boat?!?!
Like it was meant to be ... fits like a glove ...

Yep, she's still there!
