TOMORROW, tomorrow, tomorrow!!

By noon tomorrow I will have had a chance to DEMO my new Theasher 140, and take it home. Might not be able to sleep tonight but I will sleep like a KING tomorrow night.

Saturday it will be available for some of you to test out at Tidelands for the Heroes on the Water event. Can't get it rigged out until after Gonzaga next week. But I can still fish it, and get it bloody. See you guys Saturday.

Thumbs up

Can't wait to see it. If I was to buy a new yak, think that would be it.

The Threshers are in at OEX Mission Bay!!!! The Wilderness people are moving them right out. Mine was built, finished on 27th October and delivered TODAY. Three 140's and one 155 Thresher MIGHT be left, plus some Tarpons and Rides. Just had a little time to play with it today. The 140 is AWESOME. Faster than my OUTBACK, faster than the PA's in fact it is almost as fast as the Adventure. Nice yak, tracks well even without the rudder system, good glide. Paddled NOT pedaled to O.B. dog beach, played around jetty, tried the beach launch, got wet but not dumped. Easy launch, landing. Boat rides very well, bow rises up and over swell and waves. When overtaken by a wave coming in boat was responsive and nimble, did not get pushed around, I am sure that was due to the rocker in the hull. Did get wet when wave caught up with me from behind but Yak was not over powered. Only had a 9 foot flyrod with me as all my other outfits are still in Baja AND it FIT in the storage hatch WITHOUT having to break it down. A set of thigh braces for surf work would help us older guys but that was the only negative I saw today. Boat inside was bone dry, storage hatch easy to access and seals easily. Do not know how the O.S.Pod will work as I won't rig electronics until after I BLOODY the deck of this lady in Gonzaga next week. The Mango color is highly visable and should be easy to spot on the water. OEX Mission Bay is ready to Demo these SEXY Ladies NOW, And mine will be at Tidelands on Saturday at our Heroes on the Water event, you could even try mine out there. I wanted this boat to explore the Pacific beaches of Baja and it will get it's first real workout 27 November - 7 December when I take it to Asuncion. I will let you know how it performed there when we get back. Thanks.
