    Default Finial Touches


    Everyone knows when you get something new you have to make it user friendly for yourself. I've added a few things to my new ride that will help me out. The first thing I did was install a Kipawa prop to the trolling motor. I've had these props on all my trolling motors and had great results from them, especially when trolling in the wind. It is the best $35 that I have spent. There is a web site, tinboats.net, that has a good article on these props. It talks about the pros and cons with this prop. Check it out.

    Second thing I did was make me some trailer guide post. Don't know about ya’ll, but once you have these, you can't do without them. Over the years these things have spoiled me when putting the boat on the trailer, especially in the wind. Pull the boat on the trailer between the 2 post and your good.

    Last thing I did was to install LED's in my live wells, storage compartments, under the console, and under the inside rail to light up the floor for the early mornings and late evenings.

    Thanks Benny. I have been very blessed to be able to have a boat like this. Remember that it's not the boat that catches the fish, it's the fisherman. I'm sure if we fish side by side that you'll catch just as many fish as me if not more. See you out there very soon..
