I don't know if this will of interest to you, but I keep my fish in a fish basket until I'm ready to go home. When I move spots I put the basket in the boat. When I troll and fish I let it float. The fish stay alive until I get back to the boat ramp so I can keep my fish cooler in the...

I like the new boat, but sadly you missed out on a golden opportunity. You had the chance to use this as an opportunity to talk your wife into getting another bigger boat and keeping your old boat. One boat is good but two boats would be great.

I really like the boat. Looks like a good one. Is it an optical illusion or is the back of your boat sitting low on the trailer. Is so be careful you don't hit the back of the boat on the street or curb. I would buy a grease gun and grease the trailer wheels every six months, and maybe...

I love this app. I can scout an area before I fish and then use the app to find the spots I found.

https://www.austinkayak.com/products/376/Blakemore-Brush-Gripper-Anchor.html I use this. It works very well to hold my boat. I keep one tied to the front and one tied to the back of my boat at all times. Especially good when fishing for crappie in trees.

I found one that will fit the two inch at iboats There are several places selling 3 inch online. Amazon Prime and Bass Pro both have them.

That is something I had not thought of. Thanks

My trailer roller broke in half. The rubber, round thing you crank your boat onto when trailering. Mine is two inches long but the smallest one is can find is three inches long. Does anyone have a suggestion for where I can find a two inches roller.

Same thing was happening to me. I had a glob of something in the gas tank. It would suck to the hose and stop the gas flow. Took me four trips to figure it out.

I am just happy when I remember to pick up both anchors before I head to the ramp.

Make sure you can lower the ladder from outside the boat in case you jump in and forget to lower the ladder first. I saw a movie where someone jumped in the water and left the ladder up and could not get back in the boat. He got eaten by a shark three days later.

I have yet to put flames on my boat to make it faster, but I put a Yeti sticker on my Coleman cooler and it keeps ice longer.

Have you thought about a stick steer. This way you could sit in front and high.

I have a 25 year old Mercy two stroke 25 HP. It has never left me stranded and is super reliable. The only trouble I had was a gas tank that needed to be replaced due to a clog and crack. I would feel good about buying a older motor and a new gas tank. The first gas tank lasted me 24...

Last Saturday I went to launch my boat and it would not come off the tailor. After two attempts I discovered the transom saver was still attached.
