New from MO

[LC]

Hello from the Show Me State!
Considering I'm new to the forum, allow me to offer a little info on myself.  I'm 62 years young and coming up on 37 years of marriage.  I enjoy deer hunting but absolutely crave bass and crappie fishing.  However this type of fishing is typically best from a boat, which limits me to only being able to go when one of my boat owning buddies go.  Well if it's The Good Lord's will, I will be ordering my brand new Ranger RT 188 in January of 2018.  I started reading countless forums, blogs etc, talking to every boat owner I could, visited 4 different dealerships and I've discovered nothing but good things with Ranger boats (particularly when it comes to quality, performance, longevity and fishability (if that's a real word).
I am soooo looking forward to get my hands on this boat, my wife often says I'm obsessed with it and she'll be glad when I get it so I can stop talking about! 
I'm feeling so blessed to be finally be in financial position to not only get a boat but get a Ranger!!!
Would appreciate and input from other RT owners out there.

I plan to post pics of the new rig sitting in my driveway as soon as I get her home.

A few Missouri anglers on UB but we can always use more. I fish LOZ  from the dam to the Grand Glaize arm. Lots of good sticks on here so join the action.
