mounted my transducer today, but im not sure where i want to mount the monitor, i also dont know where to mount my rod holder, decisions decisions!

Hey, the rig is looking good!! I might suggest you do some fishing from the boat before you mount the rod holders. That will tell you exactly where you want them. Mark the locations, then install when you get back home. If you fish with a friend, do the same from where he/she will be sitting. On the FF, placement is often dependent on ergonomics: how you sit at the tiller, screen size, handedness, etc. I mounted mine on a piece of ply with the wires laying in the open temporarily, then moved it a couple of times before picking THE location. Mine wound up on the left side of the tiller bench, but directly in from of the driver's seat was a close second.

Here's a rainbow I caught on the maiden voyage of the New boat!!!

Wow, nice rainbow. How much did he weigh? We're lucky if the trout go to 1lb around here.

 

[Trapper02]

Nice catch looks like the boat is doing it magic!

Enjoy!

Thanks guys! the boat did good! it still was letting a little water in somewhere, but at least i got to try the ol bilge pump out i took two of my buddies so it was crowded haha!! we caught about 15 fish all together, they were all bout the same size, Michael, im not sure how much they weighed or how long they were, i dont weigh fish, and i usually dont measure them! i just take pictures when i like the color, this fish was darker then usual. if you ever get a chance to fish below holter dam in montana, its big and plentiful trout all day!

Good job on the boat! Looks good.

Tell me about that camo seat cover. I glanced through the thread and didn't see where it was mentioned. Is it a cushion? Could you post a link to it please or tell me what it's called? I think that would be nice to have on my benches instead of the little square ones that slide around.

MOE, it is a padded bench cover, it is awsome! it has three puches too, and it is easaly removed, here is a link!
