    My new boat

    I sold my stratosphere 288 last September before deploying to the 'Stan. I spent seven long months searching the internet for a new boat. I had a tough time choosing between a stratosphere 294 and a ranger 519. Well, 4 days after arriving home I picked up an '08 294 and it was only 45 minutes away from my house and the deal was great. I've added a HB 788 up front and have an 898 on order. The boat runs great, had it at 72.5 the first day out. One thing I can't figure out is how to turn on the light of the side of the console near the horn.

    The light on my 285 turns on by flipping the light up and down with the compartment light turned on Maybe the same for you

    Wow, the home of Fort Henry. Been there a few times.

    As was explained, the clear plastic part of the light rotates up or down to turn it on.

    Glad you're back safe & sound.

    I am a fisherman for life! I will always be a fisherman! It's not something I do, it is who I am. Fishing is not an escape, it is where I belong, where I am supposed to be. It is not a place, but a life long journey. It is a passage my father showed me and that I will show others.
