I bought my boat a couple weeks ago and bought one all set up for jigging for macks and trolling for kokanee. Seams like every time i turn around im dumping more money into accessory's. This isnt my first boat infact its my 4th in the last 8yrs. But its been my most expensive so far and i havent even had it on the water yet.laugh hyst

new downriggers, scotty 1116 electrics, upgrading the sonar to a LCX-27c sonar/gps, replaced all the rod holders with scotty's. adding more tie downs and a bow scotty ancor system, taking the leaning post off the bow and putting a regular boat seat on. I'll post pic of my additions soon.

don't even want to guess, I've been buying for a few months now in anticipation on getting the boat.

I notice that you are installing a bow anchor, is that for the gorge?
I am also fitting my boat with some extra stuff!

The first photos look nice Petty. Ahh, the joys of boat ownership.

Step one- Look all over for a boat with all the features you want.
Step two- Once the dream boat is in posession begin looking for new gadgits.
Step three- New gadgits slowly overtake boat and you resume looking for a bigger boat with all the features you want.

I will use the ancor at many lakes when the wind is to much for the bowmount motor

Ha! I guess you guys all know that everyone who owns a boat thinks it's three feet too short...

My boat options are limited to the size of my parking spot. It's between the garage and the fence on the property line. I have about 1 inch of clearance on both sides and have to hand-roll the trailer out of the spot to hook it up to the truck.

I was looking to buy bigger but a bigger boat wouldnt have fit in my garage and i figure if i have a garage i might as well use it.

well my boat just turned 20 this last year. and this is the newest boat ive ever owned. kinda nice having a boat that isn't older then me. LOL... It's also my first fiberglass boat. I'm partial to aluminum but for the money it was what i could afford. thumbsup

If you put the boat outside it will help with the urge to fill the hole.......I have converted my first scotty 1116 into a 1106 if your interested in the dual rod holder, its taking space and I'm sure we could work something out.
