Agms are the way to go. I was able to get 3 batteries in the console of my old 18’ Bayfisher. And i was able to shoehorn 4 batteries in the console of my LT20. Just gotta work on layout a bunch.

They are booked solid unfortunately. That was one of our first checks. As weird as it sounds they have the best price on non ethanol fuel around down there. With the added benefit of not having to lug fuel cans to gas station and back. Appreciate the ideas.

I have checked and there is only one on there right now. I sent an email to the one from VRBO and have not gotten anything back yet. I just wanted to see if there were any other options out there. Trying to get as many options as possible.

Hoping for any help from you guys for a rental on Big Pine Key. This is a family trip we have been taking for the past 16 years or so and could possibly be the last one for my mother so trying to make sure the tradition continues. I appreciate any help that can be found. The house my family and I have been staying at the past 8 years won’t be ready by Lobster season. Seems the insurance companies are always quick to take payments but very slow to payout. As some of you know first hand. We usually go down for two weeks at the start of lobster season. This year it would be August 4-18. If anyone has any leads or friends that happen to have houses being unused at that time it would be greatly appreciated to put us in contact. There are usually 6-8 of us, depending on what days people are able to get off work. Except my parents that is. They are living that retirement life. I’ll be there in 25 years or so. Not that I am counting. The house would need to be at least a 2 bed/ 2 bath, 3 bed/ 2 bath would be even better. But we can work around what is available. The house would need to be on a canal without height restrictions as I know a few canals have low bridges. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please pm me on here or let me know how to contact you. Attached are a few photos from past trips. Thank you guys very much.

Always used a breaker as an extra way to make sure there is no draw down on the batteries. Same as with any electronics on the boat. The only thing in the boat that can draw power when off the water is automatic bilge pump. -
Bigsnook35 is in for 3. Can’t wait.

Powerpole tubing through transom, yay or nay?
bigsnook35 replied to dcathey's topic in General Forum
I ran mine through the splashwell because i didn't want any more thru hull holes. I ran them through hydraulic bulk head fittings. That way they matched the seastar and jackplate fittings. They are the hydraulic bulk head fittings on either side of the splash well. They worked great to fit both hoses through one fitting. -
On both my Hewes Bayfisher and Hewes Light Tackle they provide support for the gunnels. They are not attached but there is very little space between them. And when you walk on them the gunnels touch them when they save a little under weight.

Stealth AC/DC charging system is the way to go. I rarely plug my boat in anymore.

Hand or remote control? -
Just upgraded to 36v from 24v. Don’t mind the added battery. That was the only change to my setup and love it.

I have a 225 optimax on my LT. I've had it up to 48 but have a rough bottom so I know I am loosing speed there. But it's a great boat. If I could have found a master angler 21 when I was looking I would have bought it. But the LT has worked out great and don't think I will get rid of it. Too many memories rebuilding it with my father.
