Have upgraded the trolling motor and electronics. Need to buff it but other than that it is all I need.

Last three boats I purchased were all new, just can’t see paying 70 + for a new one. Just added a drotto to the trailer and built steps on the tongue just need some new tires now.

It has the latest greatest of almost everything. Lowrance Carbons, active imaging 3 in 1’s front and back, Active Target, Ultrex, dual power pole Blades, two sets of foot switches, Lowrance sonic hub with Lowrance speakers and JLAudio subwoofer, led lights everywhere, RMP blade nav light, Optima batteries, 4-bank worth of DualPro chargers, remote drain, dual livewells, dual pump outs, new custom interior using BMW M colors, flashed computer on the motor, low hours. Line spooling station and ProRule built in. Extra rod holders. And lots of other stuff that would seem like excess. 4 gauge marine cables for the TM, 8g marine wiring for the electronics. Remote controlled battery disconnects. Alarm. Etc. Junk trailer. Haha. Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Just put new trolling motor, and electronics on her.. Funny thing is the upgrade is worth more than the boat, but I "ain't" getting rid of her....

Had Charlie’s Outboards rebuild it 5 years ago and it has been a great rig ever since. 12” HDS front and back and an Ultrex added. Fishes plenty good for me! It's only a good cast if you catch a fish... Personal Best: 11.62 lbs

Ranger1 TFF Celebrity R Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 8,112 Alba, Texas	Originally Posted by Barn I've had my '03 Cougar FTD for 16 years now. I'd like to get a new Lynx but I have too many other financial obligations or plans. I am happy with my Cougar and it's in nice shape. I am currently upgrading all the electronics and TM. Insurance just put on a new lower unit..oops. Seats are still in great shape, The carpet has hung in there this entire time. I may put in some new carpet in the Fall this year. Afterwards it will be like new boat at that point. The wife vetoed any new boat anyway. However, she is did suggest upgrading it instead. I'd don't think she had any idea how much that was going to cost. Tell ole Aaron to draw you up some numbers on a new Lynx with 300r

It's aluminum, and probably has 3000 rivets holding it together. It was a runabout/rowboat that I turned into a flats skiff. Donald Trump gave me a stimulus check and I got so stimulated I bought a Yamaha 15 4-stroke for it. It'll go 25, which is faster than I want to go. Name is TIN STAR. Almost every time I launch, someone copmes over to ask me about her. One guy even asked me if it was new? Pics in the Jonboat section of this forum. Catch 'em up!
