Headhunter Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Did some upgrading on the admirals sled. Added the grab rail from FabTech in Daytona and changed out the Garmin for the 9 inch TI2 for FMT. Biggest surprise was removing the 2 trolling motor batteries from the console. By removing 80 lbs from the stern, the boat runs so differently. Faster, flatter and a ton more acceleration. Looks like Lithium ion batteries are in my future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coto Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 You will love that Lowrance it’s what I run on mine. Best bang for the buck for running FMT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chad1616 Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 grab rail is actually the biggest noticeable gain for me ; i always use it throughout the day . about to move all my batteries forward to reduce chine slap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted September 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Grab rail was something we wanted to do for a while. Did 3 trips with it so far. Well worth the money as we get older. Never had a chine slap on this boat but I know most of the guys with 18s move one battery into the front compartment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
