Congrats on the new boat. I have a 2017 198P, and I couldn’t be happier. The hole shot is like 2 seconds or less to on plane it is absolutely amazing. I have very few complaints. Only issue I have is...

I am not. I am getting 58 mph, seems good enough to me. Honestly I very rarely run it flat out.

I think the only way to make them dry are to insulate all of the boxes. Tin rigs are more prone to condensation than fiberglass due to temperature changes. I don't think most of the water issues are...

Why do you feel you need a 36V trolling motor? An 80 pound thrust 24V is more than you will ever need in that boat. If you have the money put the ultrex on it.

I am happy with my setup. If mounting to the console I would go no bigger than the 9 in arm. That helix 10 is a lot of weight out there bouncing around. If you are going with a 12 in arm you might...

Mine is mounted on a 198. I just used some rubber gasket from Lowes. Basically anything thick enough to give more uniform compression. I also cut a piece of 1/2 plywood to put under the console for...

I did the same mount as SE66 on my Helix 10. I bought the 6 in arm and the bullet base. He used the round base. The bullet base is a rectangle and in my opinion easier to mount to the slope of the...

I have had mine blown closed by a combination of rough water and wind. So the strut = peace of mind.

I have never stayed at the Regal inn. It is probably more expensive but I always stay at the Wyndham. It is usually right around $100 per night sometimes less. The hotel has a boat launch, docks, and...

I use mine to store all my tackle. All my rods go in the center box. Fishing partner gets limited storage. If he needs more he can buy his own boat. LOL

Any other ranger owners with a livewell leak. Boat only takes on water when livewell is full. Hoses are not leaking. I think water may be going over the lip of the livewell during takeoff and during...

Checked all of the hoses. Im wondering if it’s overflowing over the lip of the livewell when taking off or stopping. I’m guessing it’s just not sealed well.

I have had zero problems with my motor. Only issue I have had is a leak somewhere around the livewell system. I have been unable to identify where it is coming from. Only happens when my livewell is...

I am glad you asked this. I’m looking at getting one also, I think I’m going to get the 52”. I have a maxxum now and it’s 45”. In rough water it comes out of the water a lot. I can always adjust the...

Pretty dangerous lake if you have never been on it. Lots of timber right off of the main channel in a lot of areas. Hopefully you have some good mapping. If you have Birds the lakemaster hd map has...

This is what i used. Mine had a 3M backing but it wasn't near as good as this stuff. Only had mine on for a few months though.

I bought mine off Amazon. Triangle bulbs led strips they are IP65 rated. They come on a 15ft roll for around $8. You can cut them to custom lengths and a little soldering is required but pretty...

I wired my led strip deck lights to an RV LED dimmer switch i bought on amazon. I used 18 gauge wire. You have to be careful about voltage drop with LED's, depending on the length of your run.

I removed the angled pieces on both sides of the floors. It is quite amazing the difference that makes. As far as the throttle position, I have no clue why they didn’t slide that back a few inches it...

That is an interesting idea, but some of them are not exactly on the contour lines.

It seems to me the group that marked the Alabama lakes got a little lazy. I have yet to see a brown dot for a stump. Underwater obstruction could equal stump or something else. On Lay it is 100%...

I agree, I noticed OP was from Alabama and just trying to help. I figured there could be differences depending on the area. Im just glad they are marked so well, big difference than the navionics...

Yes I looked at the chart with the symbols. The above map is a chart select hd survey. the blue dots are most definitely stumps. I know this lake and even verified if they were individual stumps...

Well on my southeast card most of the stumps are blue dots. I have never seen any tan dots. I have seen the black asterisk for rock.
Here is a screen shot of an area of spring creek on lay lake....
