    Anyone here install an Atlantic Tower-in a-Box on a 180 Sportsman?

    Absolutely but Atlantic says they do all the GW180s screw and glue. Might be easier for them. I think a Beckson about here might give access to front and back stanchions but not sure what's underneath, pretty close to the live well lines.

    Anyone here install an Atlantic Tower-in a-Box on a 180 Sportsman?

    Yep, I got all that, I was wondering if anyone had tried installing 6" Beckson plates to get under the deck for backing plates or if they were all glued and screwed like Atlantic states.

    Can’t get a good cast surf fishing

    I find it's easier to throw a weight/bait rig with an older fiberglass rod, more forgiving.

    Spotlock (Garmin or Minnkota) on a 180?

    I tried a template for mounting the Garmin and I would have to remove the port bow cleat and some railing to mount the motor base.

    Were you out fishing in a 180 around Stonington/Watch Hill yesterday, 9/18?

    I was on a boat running beside you and wanted to ask a question. thanks, Rob

    Clean your own boat? Try this.

    I bought a Shurhold system also but I got the blue "Soft" brush head, too soft for blood n' guts. I was thinking about the red combo brush with the stiff center. Which do you use?

    I was going with the Garmin package that has an in hull and a transom mount for the Side view. $600 for both.

    In hull transducer on a 180CC?

    Yeah, well, common sense has prevailed, going with the transom mount which will also give me temps. I may look into cutting that access hatch though...

    In-hull transducer for 180 Sportsman/Fisherman

    Circling back to this, Dave (OP) did you ever do this? I'm asking as I just purchased a Garmin system with an in hull and I'm trying to figure how to get down there. thanks, Rob

    In hull transducer on a 180CC?

    Has anyone done this? I just purchased a Garmin 943xsv with an in-hull transducer and now I'm wondering if I'll be able to even mount it, seems like impossible access to get down in there. Anyone?

    Who made a custom cutting board for the rear rail on their 180 CC?

    Somewhere here I saw a post with a custom made cutting board that was attached to the rail in front of the engine well, would like to see pics again but cannot find it.

    First ever trip on my 2004 180.

    Too much sand, no structure? I would think fluking would be good.

    That coastline in the Port Jeff area and east is something I want to explore and fish now that I can travel that far. Plan to spend to time at spooky old lighthouse too (Stratford)....

    You can try Norwalk Cove Marina, they are the largest one and have transient docking but quite a walk to S. Norwalk. Closer to the S. Norwalk center you can try Rex Marine. The S Norwalk "Sono" area has all the shops and restaurants.
