Anyone have a Sonar/GPS unit for sale that tracks waypoints? I'd like to be able to store waypoints once I find structure etc. Thanks, Adam

All, I'm considering buying a sonar/GPS combo for the rear of my boat when I'm running the big motor so I can map out hot spots. I'd really like to be able to mark good holes, structure, channels etc. Plus with the GPS it will help navigate new lakes and find my way back in the dark. I'm also...

Guys, I've seen several people saying that if you have a 15" transom that you need a short shaft motor. Well I have a 15" with a long shaft 18hp and I'm not having any problems. Why would the shaft length matter? You can see the motor on my thread. I'll have better pics of it once i get the...

Guys (and Bassboy), I've got all my alum. angle and sheet to start manufacturing my deck. I know the bite size I need for my rivets, but not what diameter to use. Most of my framing will be done with 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 1/8 and 1 x 1 x 1/8. I've got a hand rivet gun (wish I had pneumatic) that...
