Two more options for a tunnel hull all welded which is my next build after just finishing up this one. Personally, I'm going with a prop tunnel. I've read of too many issues with jet O/Bs and the consensus seems to be stay away from them. Then again, this IS the internet and EVERYTHING thing you rea...

Great job!

Here's SKINNY http://flatscat.com/ If you go with a welded boat, SeaArk. They're built like a tank and use .125 material on the 1872 and up. They'll pretty much take a direct hit from a hand grenade and keep going. I've owned 3 G3's and gone from the 1652 to the 1756 to the 1966. They're nice but no...

T-Tops are great and have their place. IF your primary goal is shade, think hard before spending. Depending on the angle of your boat and the sun, shade can be hard to come by. When I had my G3, I installed a Fishmaster T-Top which has breakaways so it folds. It is NOT as easy and they purport it to...

Having always used and been done right by Gulp New Penny Shrimp, I'm curious about yalls opinions. I've been considering trying live Shrimp just for a test. Never used DOA so I can't very compare. Been reading up on rigging Live Shrimp and I've read using a #1 or #2 circle hook is the way to go.... ...

Going from Garmin Homeport and adding in my waypoints saved as a .gdb file and then opening them in GPSBabel (interface) and from there trying a conversion. Actually just thought of something, I'll have to check homeport to see if it can export as a .gpx file and if so, my HDS 12 Touch should read i...

Trying to convert waypoints from Garmin to Lowrance and GPS Babel is giving me error codes.

Can someone give me a hand if I email a small file and have you convert it for me ?

Thanks

Bagger out...

I'm needing to get 2 battery chargers pretty quickly for a trip next weekend. I need either 1 4 bank or 2 2 bank chargers. I'd prefer the 2 - 2 bank chargers. I've just spent a LOT of cash redoing the entire boat so I'm somewhat cash poor lol. What would you suggest in the $150 to $200 range for a g...

I've got a brand new never used Penn Powergraph 7000 reel. No original box but it's just been sitting for a pretty good while and I can use the cash to buy something smaller. Here's a link with full info: http://www.fishandsave.com/?&show_details=31366&cat=151 $75 obo. Just PM me or respond ...

Just my two cents, give Ken at Propgods dot com a shout and discuss your needs with him. They rent props for testing etc. so you can fine tune till your heart's content.

Put in about 9:30 and it was a tad overcast and just as we're pulling out a couple of lads were coming back in and said "it's raining out there" and proceeded to hold up a fairly large net that was snapped in two... "Redfish said the gentleman".. obviously had no desire to be net...

Nice report. Going to give it a go in the morning at the Lighthouse... may get tossed around a little but it's better than working!

Thanks for all of your input. I checked with a few guides on another site and order the following: Spheros 5000 and 2 Spheros 4000's. If they hold up like I think they will, come end of season I'll order a few more after evaluating them.
