So here's a question - are you able to interpret what you are seeing on the screen and actually stop to fish that area on the initial pass? Or are you still trolling by, marking the spot, then...
Wow those images are definitely awesome. Thanks for sharing!
So I have this same dilemma at the moment.... I have a Helix 7 MDI G3N and a Helix 7 MSI G3N and can't decide which one to put at the bow and which one to put at the console. I do plan to network...
I have a Helix 7 Mega DI at the console and a cheap Lowrance Hook2 at the bow. So far I've been mainly using the Helix for lake maps to find points and drop offs etc, BUT here is the question... how...
Wow... a 17 ft aluminum boat with a 150 would be quite a ride. Not sure I'd want to be on it!
Any product that takes weight off the motor and transom and transfers it to the trailer would be the best. I don't get these "support" brackets that just wedge between the motor and jackplate. You...
I would say the FG knot is definitely worth the time it takes to learn... with practice you can tie it pretty quickly on the boat too. It's the smallest and strongest way to tie leader to main line....
This ^^ I tore up the skeg on my old boat pretty good a few years ago and used one of these stainless steel skeg guards. Was easy to install over the original skeg and was cheaper than taking it...
I just went through this decision over the winter and decided on the RT188. I love it - for me it was the deck layout/storage, construction quality, and how great of a fishing platform it is.
But...
If you get pretty good at this knot can you tie it without wasting so much line? If you are fishing with a fluoro leader, it sucks tying knots that have so much tag end. That's why I switched from...
Vinegar takes off some minor rust... just fill a bowl with some white vinegar and let them soak a bit. The rust will usually wipe off with a cloth or paper towel.
You could probably fill that hole with some of that 3M 5200 Marine sealant. I've had success with that in the past. I'd do a little investigating though to see if you can find out why the hole was...
I'm 5'7", about 175lbs, and I found the medium sized Simms Challenger suit fits great. Medium on both the bibs and jacket. I've also been super impressed with the quality and functionality - great...
Thanks for all the responses - some great topics to add to my list to review with the dealer. I'm sure I'll take some flak for being content with a 90HP outboard and a MK 70lb Edge but oh well.......
Motor break in - that's a great point to bring up. So this is not done by the manufacturer? I was wondering if new outboards still had to be broken in by the first owner.....
I ordered a new 2019 RT188 about a month ago and am anxiously awaiting delivery. This will be my second bass boat and a giant improvement on my 1990 Cajun that I had previously. Some specs for...

I bought my very first boat a few years ago, despite my wife being against the idea. Decided to take her out in it on the first ride to change her mind. I had put new tires on the trailer, but I...
