Hi all
Just picked up an 18' with a 50 HP johnson for walleye fishing here in michigan. Couple questions, This boat had been sitting for awhile, which is ok, except what are the basic things I should check over on the motor? It runs great, but I am wondering if cetain things need to be checked before I take her to the lake. Also, I just came back from Bass Pro Shops(that place is a hazzard to me) and spent too much money!! But I did pick up 6 side mount rod holders and I plan on using them to troll with/inline planar boards. Do I have to mount these right through the side of the boat? Or can I somehow clamp them on? I really dont want to drill holes through the side, but I will if I have too. Me and the extended family are gonna have alot of fun with this boat, and hopefully catch some fish!! Cya! Don
