New boat purchase scheduled for 1pm Saturday.  Meanwhile we found someone to trade the 9.8 tohatsu for a 25hp 4 stroke Suzuki.  That'll be much better.

Nice! What are you getting?

Looks like a bad weather fishing machine! The windshield and canopy are awesome when it’s raining early and late season.

That was a key consideration.  I do a lot of foul weather pike fishing early spring and early winter before ice up.

Question is how to mount riggers on a fiberglass hull?

Was no good Allen.  Abused by the owner.  Guy didnt want to put muffs on the Yamaha and fire it up.  Asks if I want him to start it dry.  Had to walk away.

Found a 2004 lund tyee 20' I will check out next weekend.

For me, the Lund is a better choice...

The wash for my old boat is scheduled.  Buddy is working hard to get the throttle and shift cables taken care of on the new 25.

Already has ipilot.  Debating the spend on a pro troll controller or not....
