[QUOTE="Alex_c, post: 323541, member: 9587"] I've been slacking on the updates but the boat has logged some decent time on the water so far. I finished the paint, and built a custom river anchor and mount/roller on the front. I use about a 25lb anchor with 15' of 5/16" chain to hold the boat in faster current. The boat runs awesome, and the motor is working better than ever. Right now the river that I am usually fishing for chinook salmon this time of year is closed, but opens this weekend, so I have been fishing in one of the tributaries which is open and has produced a couple nice chinook for my buddy and I. I just picked up a 11'6" river fishing rod and a Shimano Calcutta 400B...soooo smooth and the super long rod has incredible action. My girlfriend also got me a Garmin Echo 500C fish finder for my birthday so I am waiting for that to get shipped. Storage in the boat is perfect. I can stow everything I need and more and keep the deck as open as possible for fishing. So far so good, the only thing it's really missing is cup holders. There have been far too many knocked over beers! I have some fold up ones kicking around, I just need to mount them. Planning on a big river camping/fishing trip this weekend so I have a couple things to get ready before then. Still looking for the first fish in the boat! [/QUOTE]
