    Ditched the cooler and I feel great

    so funny you mentioned that. I went to that float party at Tices after my overnight saturday morning. of course I'm the only one with a boat and have a bunch of friends and family that want to go. Said the same thing to myself...10 people won't have any room for a cooler. I cleaned the fish box...

    Looks great the off white fabric is growing on me. I have an 01 so my hull is a little more white with navy blue canvas. I plan on doing mine sooner or later... may have switched to that color now

    AutoPilot upgrade from manual hydraulic

    I have the 1.7 helm and have an older ray marine autopilot setup. No power assist. Its nmea 1083 however no longer connected bc i updated all the electronics. hopefully it'll work with my lowrance when i wire to its 1083 setup. I wouldn't spend the extra money on the power assist

    spring work before you splash

    Yeah last year I bumped up on safety gear to get further offshore. I’ll take redundancy on 50-70 mile offshore run. I have two 9” lowrance gen 3s and got the link 8 vhf, no real issues with it but I’ll take something proven over time as my backup with a new antenna and cable. I got my epirb...

    Recommendations for a VHF radio

    I went with a lowrance link 8 to add to my new electronics last season. I was the best priced VHF to get the added AIS tech with the simple nmea2000 network (i don't think anyone yet offered that from what i remember). So far so good no issues, AIS is great. Only issue I've had was once in a...
