    Updating 181 2000 Year model

    Instead of spending additional money and buying a newer boat I have decided to do the following since I just repowered it last year with a new Etec 150 after the Fitch exploded and caught on fire. The insurance company totaled my boat but the only thing damaged was the motor.

    Updates:
    1. Installing ProControl Flush mount foot control tray.
    2. Anchor rein on bow since I have a opening for installation through tray hole. Will put my lure retriever on it when I need to retrieve crank baits. I fished with David Fritts several years ago and that is what he used and it worked great.
    3. Install Reel Unique custom moose head rod rack on passenger side only.
    4. Install Humminbird 998C on top of console. I have already replaced the windshield with a more vertical windshield so it will allow me to use the top of the console. I have a Lowrance X25 on a ram mount already at the console. I want both at this time.

    Any suggestions or concerns... inputs wanted.

    Re: Updating 181 2000 Year model (Fish Hook)

    Sounds good!

    Retractable rod straps? Tilt steering?

    I had a Zercom flasher in dash and an x85 on gunwale and the transducers interfered so you could not run both at the same time..Just a thought.
