I need some suggestions for other things I can do to this boat other than about 20 more rod holders. I'm considering adding a CB and radio in the electronics box, but I don't know what else I might need. Any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I want to dethrone the former swiss army knife of catfishing (Rick),but I'm not interested in "turning it into a ship". I think Robalo Nick has a nice ring to it.....

Man to dethrone Rick you're gonna need at least a couple more fish finders(one needs to be the 360), a microwave, heaters, plus the rod holders...... Seriously though, how big did you say the graphs were gonna be? I'd get the biggest I can afford in a finder then put time in getting it dialed in and add some rod holders. That thing looks ready to rock pretty much. I like the led light strips when catching bait in the dark and I like other boats seeing me really well. I just stepped up to 5/8ths anchor rope for this winter and like it so far.

I'll have a 7" graph on the bow. I have a 9" on the way for the console, but intend on adding another 9" in the near future. That'll give me 18" of screen for the same price as one 12". I will have the graphs dialed in the same day that I pick up the boat. I have LED lights for my navigation, but I plan on adding a couple small LED's that mount on the rail looking over the side. I have no intention of using cheap shop lights like I've seen some people do.

Rick- the 360 looks good! Nice work going through the ladder. Were you not able to mount it on the starboard side?

Very nice, that'll get you to the cats! Thanks! I was hoping that it would be ready to fish today, but the power poles haven't arrived yet. Maybe it'll be all done by tomorrow so I can get acquainted with her.
