    Float pods

    Jack plate installed. Thanks to Jacker Plate in lake Charles La. He built it, text me pics, then mailed it in two days. And it was $125!! Haven't tried it yet, but it looks great.

    Float pods

    I decided a while back I was going to spend 1k on my old boat vs buying another, so....More upgrades! Installed a hummingbird helix 5 with down scan, side imaging and gps today. Also ordered a jack plate. Should be here this week.

    Float pods

    They add 250 lbs in buoyancy in the stern so you can counter him or the motor! I thought about filling mine with some kind of foam so I can forget the plug issue. Thoughts?

    Float pods

    Not a bad idea. I don't like the drain plugs in these. Would rather have a screw in brass plug. Would be too easy to lose a plug and fill a pod with water. I googled these pods, was going to buy from Cabelas online then found them $20 cheaper with free shipping from Walmart.

    Float pods

    Ordered some beaver tail float pods (from Walmart.com of all places) $250 for the pair. Had the local Welding school slap them on there and tada! I'm pretty pleased on my initial trial. Seems to have a lot more buoyancy in the stern. It rides a bit higher. Cuts the same. And yet much more...

    Best fishfinder for $200.00 (what do you guys use)?

    Elite 4x dsi after going through several cheap sonar units I have been blown away with the dsi. Wish I'd sprung for the bigger unit with gps now.
