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...... roflmao

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. bolt

LOL!!!! Nick, I finished installing my new 360 and fish finder this weekend and that transom mount 360 thing was a bear to add on cause it just wouldn't fit anywhere. I ended up having to run it thru my rear step. Lol!





Anyways, I had just finally put the finishing touches on everything Sunday and I was just sitting in the boat chillin. Shortly after the wife and my little one came outside and the wife said " babe are you ever going to get out of that boat and come eat supper "? I said " Oh Yeah, sorry, I'll be in there in just a minute ok". She said " why in just a minute just come eat ". I said " well hang on babe I just got a new ideer ". She said " what "? I said " did you say your parents we're trying to sell their Lazyboy recliners "? roflmao roflmao roflmao roflmao Anyways, Yep... your gonna have some fun times in the new Marine Pardner!!! cheers

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

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.
