If you're getting Shane's help, wait until he sends you the bill for the booze you guys drink installing all that stuff! :-)

well after about 20 hours of working on the boat, it is finally ready to find some fish. (thanks to shane for is 5 hours of help also). new bielge pump, 2nd main battery to handle the electronics, mount 2 batteries under the console for new trolling motor. Pull wires to the front to install in trolling motor, replace bow light to show above trolling motor, install 3 bank charger, then install the elite 7 up front, the touch and dxs lowrance units on the dash, pull cables from back to middle of boat for all of that. new bearings and seals and tires and trailer tie downs, Now all thats left is to set up the spider rigging equipment after i fish it a few times to see what will work best, any good ideas on mounting seats up front, the front desk is a lift up dry storage. pictures to follow some time soon i hope.

thanks for all the kind words.

first day out on the water. every thing works great but the driver. you know when you plane out a heavy boat if the motor isnt trimmed all the way down it sounds like you lost the prop or transmission. so after pulling the boat out again and driving to walmart to get more fluid to check if it was full. After thinking about it and jim bybee confirmed what i needed to do. . the boat ran great and fishes great for me. still need to add my spider rigging equipment if i ever figure out where i want it and how to mount the seats.

did manage to land 3 good fish 11.5" 12" 12" need seven of them for the tournament tomorrow.

Best addition was adding the guide poles on the back to help in loading as the trail is totaly underwater. (loading blind without them)

NIce fish and good luck tomorrow......
