I see a lot of these on the lake, and they are very affordable:

There are a bunch on Amazon. Plastic or stainless of several design types.

The ones we kept weren't huge, but were decent...

I took my nephew with me to Lake Anna on Tuesday to catch some crappie for an older family friend who doesn't have much longer to live. Weather was beautiful.

Got there and the water was a little...

Have been busy with many things, including helping my Dad move.

My nephew had a day off of school so we uncovered the boat and took it out on the lake. Was a beautiful day:

What are those things to the left with the big cooling fins???

Are you adding Phasers to his boat, or are those flux capacitors?

I have two fishing boats. I've moved to the Garmin systems, and have a livescope and two units that will network together if desired and I really love how well everything works.

This being the...

I used the bracket from an old transom-mount trolling motor. Clamps to the boat and is easy to deploy and adjust. Let me see if I have a pic...

Good post.

I generally like support springs more than the shocks, as they last years and years without issues.

The Garmin 93SV is hard to beat at $649, for what you get. And it's Livescope ready.

I had that exact thing happen last time I used one. The trailer side came off, and I'm SO glad the front didn't catch on something and do serious damage!

I have yet to try a truly long rod. We vertical fish bridge pilings, and a long rod is cumbersome under there.

I made a 11 footer last year, and it WAS useful when fishing dropoffs, but I've...

I used to fish alone almost daily. I would bring others, but they had better not be late or slow me down, or I was gone.

Now, I live far from my favorite fishing grounds. A 2-1/2 hour drive. I...

Beautiful to see a couple that sticks together... and the boat is nice, too!

Congrats on having both at the same time!

That looks great!
What HP did you put on the 19 Kenner? Any more pics of the boat?

Well, I did it. I sold my 94SV Chirp. I feel pretty good about it. The only significant thing I'm losing is the GT51M 'ducer which has an impressive 600W/500W power, and "up to 1500 watts of...

Updating always seems to fix issues or cause them. Glad it's fixed yours!

It's a $300 difference between the kits. I need to do a little research to see the difference between the two.
...

Thanks for that info. Sounds useful.

Any other interesting new features?

I will do that on Monday. It looks like there are actually 3 kits.
One is the legacy I-Pilot for $449, with basic controls
The 2nd one is the bluetooth one, with the extra GPS puck for $799...

"Works great" sounds good to me. Thanks for sharing your actual experience.

There are a bunch of different ones. I ordered one slightly different than the one pictured above, as it had a...

I will. That is interesting what you say about the pixels just looking bigger. I wonder which generation you have? I could have gotten a floor-model Ultra 126SV with the 56GT for $1,300...

Hey Tracker, it looks like they sell the same kit for only $449. The only difference I see it that their kit doesn't come with the bottom cover of the head unit like the one that comes from...

Thanks, Tracker! I will check there. I saw thekits at LakesideMarineandService.com and they were $799, so hoping somewhere else is less. On Ebay they have them for $500, but not for the Terrova,...

I recently lost a Livescope and when researching replacement parts, I came across this when I googled "Livescope mount"-
...

Yes, I'm pretty happy with the idea of finally having a good excuse to upgrade to an iPilot for little or no money out of pocket. I found an upgrade kit for $500, and will order it once as I verify...

Okay, I've decided on my plan of action.

I'm going to return the LVS34 that was $1,200+ after tax
Buy the Ultra 106SV for $999 - gift cards = $699
Buy a used LVS32 for $330 shipped. (I'm...

I've been thinking about this at length, and I'm leaning toward the Ultra 106SV for several reasons...

1. Charts - It comes with fresh and saltwater charts for no extra cost, which I would use...

That Echomap 126 is interesting.

If that price was to my door, I would buy right now, and be done with making decisions.

That seems like a good deal. Buy the $999 unit and the GT56 for $1,359 and sell the GT54 for what? $100-$150? Maybe $1,200 net? That's cheaper than $1,499 from GPS store, if you want to work for...
