I requested the dealer put them on when I bought the boat. I wish the spacing was a little farther apart but I would have had to custom order the boat without the rail to get that. That boat was going to be an additional $5,000 so I'll live with it.

Perseverance and patience and the final pieces of the puzzle arrived. The boat is officially fully rigged and ready for testing, even if that means waiting until Spring.

I ordered 2 things from them and learned that if you pay with PayPal, you are charged immediately. If you pay with a regular credit card they don't charge until they ship the item.

Chris, look at the Humminbird Factory Outlet Store. Also, Cabela's has a Gen2N on clearance.

I knew stuff would start to arrive when the lakes started freezing up. My long awaited fish finder is finally here.

Roger, I called and fired the place that I had my fish finder on order since August because they weren't even willing to give me an estimated guess date. Someone let me know that Cabela's has some Helix 12's on clearance so I called them to verify that they actually had inventory in stock. I...

If parts would ever arrive from China I would be ready!

Since it is Winter, now I am just making stuff up. Lol. Floor hatch door was bugging me that it had to lay on the floor to stay open so I added a shock strut.

The idle time just makes me think of other little projects to do. Currently, I'm working on something that the dealer told me couldn't be done. I took that as a direct challenge and went into MacGyver mode. LOL

Well, one step closer to having a rigged boat. This past weekend my trolling motor finally arrived after being back ordered for 3 months. A little swearing and some dropped nuts and washers later, it is securely mounted.

How about getting rid of the back to backs on that side and putting in a pedestal seat? More floor space.

Some what viewable in this pic if you enlarge it.

I had to build a box under my seat on the old boat so that I could see over my Ulterra. It sat about 6" higher than my old Power Drive and was a real hazard to my vision.

Helix 12 Mega SI Chirp

If the freaking Helix would show up I could at least fish with the 2.

Well, 2 is better than none. Part of my downrigger order arrived yesterday and started mounting immediately. FYI, I hate pulley cords if I don’t have to have them so I made my own booms for the rear riggers for an easy reach to the clip.

Extra spicy! J/K 1/4" hot rolled steel. If a guy knows how to weld, it can easily be done for under $100. Of that powder coating was $25.

The new boat needs some new steps so fabricated these.

It has its days. I have better luck with it mid summer on, probably because I am going deeper with it. Black and blue combo and pink and blue combo is what I like to run. Blue and chartreuse can also get hot.

I wondered if you had been sneak fishing. Bet it is nice up there right now.
