Do a search on Sandy Sorite. She has a great reputation but can be very busy.

I cut a piece of black starboard and screwed it to the top of the console, it works great and was a easy job.

I strongly suggest you contact MBG, Norm and the boys can do amazing things in their repair department. And more importantly they know exactly how the boat was built and have the equipment and expertise to fix it right.

I suggest you call Powerpole, their customer service is wonderful.

And they are D rated not C rated.

Some of the fresh water striped bass fishermen use a oxygen bottle to keep Shad and bluebacks frisky.

Most people have had good success with a Power Tech OFX4 prop on the 2200 V. It will give you a great hole shot, will run well trimmed up and because it lifts the stern, you will get less porpoising. Regarding fuel for a HPDI, the most important thing is it has to be clean. That motor compresses the fuel to 2000 psi. Any contaminate drops out of the fuel and clogs a number of little filters in a HPDI.

I was a Maxxis fan boy until I had two blowouts on my latest set which were two years old. I’ve switched to Goodyear Endurance based on the great reviews the RV guys have given them. So far no issues.

The boat looks great!

I hope Minn Kota’s Raptor is more reliable than the Ulterra.

Pathfinder made a very nice 23’ center console offshore boat. Similar to a Seacraft or Contender. They have a cult following, it was called a 23DV. They have been discontinued for over five years.

It’s not a hard job, but it’s pretty intimidating to drill such a big hole in a new boat. Great job!

That seems like a lot of pitch. My buddy runs a OFX4 X 19 on his 250 SHO pushing a 2200 XL.

I have two Pathfinders, one has a accurate fuel gauge and one doesn’t. I use the odometer on my HDS 12 to keep track of my fuel used. My Yamaha F150 burns exactly 4 mpg as long as I keep my rpm below 4000.

I have a 2200V, but I think your center livewell is of similar size. There is a lot of room to carry fish if you are not live baiting. Last week, I had a two man limit of snapper, a couple of grouper and a 36” cobia in my center livewell along with ice.
