Congrats!! great boat.. I'll ping ya when I get to FM next month and I wanna see her..

It sounds to me like the electrical supply is fine, you said you checked it. Are you trying to fill the bait well? Perhaps a bad switch on the dash?

When in doubt, HP it out!! I never heard anyone complain they had too much horsepower. I agree it's about "time to plane", and HP does it faster.. Good luck

We used to do that to. after a bolt hit the mast near bermuda.. The grounding plate worked, luckily. I was 13 YO at the time, racing to Bermuda(crew) from Marion Conn.

I use it on a 60", but if i were to do it again, i would go with the 72". Providing the head of the unit is still inboard the gunwales.

Wow!! Sorry to hear about this.. Did the sides flex a lot? Or did you hear anything snap? As an indication of stringer problems? FYI I had 2011 2300 HPS, with around 1000hours on it and not a problem..

I had 2 installed before I took delivery. Unfortunately, i can't take any pics right now, i am not near the boat, but they are mounted ahead of the hinges of the hatches in the gunwale.

Why didn't I think of that

I went from a 21p to a 20p and didn't gain 500 rpm, this is what I got from Powertech..

This is what I do

OMG that is terrible.. the Boca grand area, with Cayo Costa is a nice place to loose yourself for a bit.. look around for Island resorts.. Sorry for your loss:-(

I have 3d Structure scan. I use it constantly, it is great for finding fish near structure. I am always finding snook near mangroves (under) that I couldn't see. Using it in 3' or less is kinda useless, unless you are moving,then you get a vision, up to 40' to either side. I also use non3D to have a detailed side to side image.. And down scan too, to verify the chirp in more detail. Yes, I can now run WO and see the bottom, which I never could before MED chirp transducer. In deeper water they both are great.. I love the ability to pan the image to see fish surrounding structure.. and see the structure itself without needing the shadows to interpret it.

not to be a drag, 2017 was our worst ever! 2018 has to be better

Great fun on a fly rod

Hi charles, I don't like that the batts take up all the floor space in console. And we have a hatch, behind leaning post, that works as the best place IMO to put batteries, and Power Pole pumps..
