Hey everyone!
My original post was around April this year.  I never thought I would have bought a boat.  After moving to Florida 4 years ago, I started giving it more thought.  I thought about a mud boat, then a flats boat and back to a mud boat.  An arfcomner from Florida told me to get what I wanted so me and my 13 year old could spend even more time together.  Well, as you are about to see I got what I wanted a few months ago.  
Honestly, so far I have not ever thought about changing anything or doing anything different to this boat.  Oh yes, I paid and will be paying for quite awhile.  However, look at my boat and my boy and tell me what kind of decision I made.  God has been good to me and after retiring at 50, 2 years ago, Lord willing, my son and I will have a lot more time in it together.

Gator Trax
GT. 18X54 w/hunt deck
Mud Buddy Anniversary 40hp with a beast kit upgrade for about 13 more HP.
75% fishing and 25% hunting

So far we have caught reds and snook on the flats and bass in the lakes.
My son has shot several gar and his first duck recently.  He lucked out and it had a band on it.

Great update!

Make the memories now my friend, the kids grow up fast.

That’s great dad!

That is the honest to God truth! Enjoy!

Nice boat.

I keep telling my wife we need one like that for getting out on the shallow lakes for berry picking/hunting.

Beautiful, when you get my age these pics will be among your most valuable treasures.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.
