    Waiting on new order boat , thinking about weight saving ways

    As mentioned have a cx21 coming soon we are doing a five battery system and I’m wondering if I will lose any performance, these boats are heavy and when you fill livewells the holeshot suffers, wondering if I should do lithium’s for trolling motor batteries. I’ve never used them before, we are going to do a double agm. Cranking battery in parallel for graphs and the Yamaha sho, just wondering how I can help my situation when I’m in the shallow water to get ip
    and get going

    I have one ionic 125 dedicated to my four electronics, I added a full cut off switch to kill power to all four units. I also have three 50ah on my rig for my Ghost trolling motor, one AGM for cranking battery and other accessories. [IMG]img hoster[/IMG]

    I’ve had four cx21’s, the first one with a SHO and it certainly had more top end than the last three with Mercs. I’m fixing to order a 24 model and leaning towards a SHO.

    Try a tempest instead of the Fury.
