Well I made it out to the lake today only to battle whitecaps and 22mph winds but I did manage to boat my first largie of the year on my favorite lure, a Rat-L-Trap! You'd of thought I was KVD or Ike out there after hooking up with the 16inch monster! I was excited to say the least. :lol:
Any I wanted to get some updated pics of the boat and provide a list of mods to help others with their builds so here goes.
Motor - Stock, I'm by no means an outboard mechanic!
Trailer - Glide on Bunk Slides, Grip tape on trailer tongue, polyurethane front roller
Boat - Since my boat was just a piece of aluminum and the only extra parts were the plug I had a lot of work to do, all done on my own. Here we go!
Electrical -
- Minn Kota 40lbs Power drive Bow Mount, quick disconnect bracket, 12 volt TM plug,
- Vexliar FL18 bow mount w/tm transducer,
- Humminbird Piranha 210 Rear mount Graph w/temp, suction cup transducer mount, no holes in this boat!
- Minn Kota dual bank on-board charger.
- 4 button switch panel
- Front and rear running lights
- 12 volt aux plug in
Non-Electrical-
- Grip tape on front deck, fell 2 times, that was enough of that.
- 4 Anchor holders
- Front Deck carpeted
- Flooring w/carpet
- two cargo nets
- Two custom locking battery\storage boxes
- Platform for toolbox and gas tank
- 4 spot rod holder
- 2 single rod/net holders
- Two fishing seats, 1 bass seat
- 46" Fish Measurer sticker, back deck
- Anchor holders, lead rope holder(ext cord holders)
- Padlocks for motor, conventional outboard locks do not work on some 4 strokes.
- Two Cabelas(Scotty) Rod Holders
There's probably more but that's what I can think of so far. Here are some pics.
