Yes, moved them there as I use trolling clips on my flat lines while slow trolling live bait. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEM Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 It looks like your maiden fishing trip was kinda sporty out thar!!! I know how pictures never reflect how rough the seas actually were. Were they 2-3'? I assume the 25 handled the seas just fine!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron in Atlanta Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 A beautiful boat, Skip - and an incredibly well documented build. Wishing you and your friends and family many happy hours and days on her. And as we say in some of the more shallow waters, "May all your landfalls be expected!"

slyshon Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Played hooky from work and hit it again today, much nicer day but slower on bites. Only had 2 bites but got a nice one out of it, back to work tomorrow... Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernsnooker Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Skip, Curious why you didn't go with the hardtop? i would like a 2600 TRS one day but have never seen one without a hardtop. Similarly, I don't think I have seen a 2500 without a hardtop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to keep the boat as light as possible and the T Top gives a bit more sun coverage. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this time not planning on adding a trolling motor, I rarely use one as most of my fishing is along the beach and offshore. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall Tails Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Skip, can you please tell me how the rod holders in the gunnels are secured? Through bolted or screws threaded into a backing plate?

Dawgfan Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Hey Skip, On the top of the console it looks like there is a small railing on the back edge. Is that standard on all the new consoles and is there a part# for it? Or am I seeing things? Thanks, AG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
