Boat is done!
My buddy spent all weekend rigging my boat. It is finished......as if any boat is ever finished...LOL. I have another alloy wheel on the way so the spare matches the trailer wheels. The boat has an 80# 24 volt Ulterra iPilot.....an HB 899 si unit with two HD transducers.....one on the transducer arm...and one mounted on the transom. The sonar unit is mounted using a BalZout 6 inch black mount. If you haven't seen them they are the real deal....super tough. In case anyone wants to know the si transducer on the transom holds bottom lock at speed and the 2d portion of the sonar works fine at 34 MPH. I have teflon slick kits installed on bottom bunks and on side bunks.....to help protect the wrap on the sides. There is a triple charger installed...and an hour meter. Now it just needs to be slimed with some fish. Life is good!
Regards

Wowzers! What a sweet rig. I know you are proud of it, I will go ahead and notify TWRA that the gill population is fixing to take a hit! LOL, I know you are pretty much C&R, but you are definitely fixing to light it up, congrats.

Great set up! Curious how shallow can you go. Looks like a Caney Fork war wagon!

Thanks...the motor is a 40 HP four stroke. The prop is a Mercury Spitfire. I want a steel prop but just ran out of money.....will have a steel prop before next spring...maybe sooner. Buying a new house same time as buying a boat....stressful!.....LOL.
