[QUOTE="ohiolunker, post: 199526, member: 5083"] Well apparently it's monsoon season in Northeast Ohio, because I can't remember a day this month that it didn't rain at least a little. Definitely not helping the boat progress. Finally cleared up a bit today and I made it out to pick up supplies for the build. Figure the trailer isn't hauling a boat around it could get a little workout with some lumber. Since I've been stuck indoors I fabbed up some rod holder brackets out of aluminum angle and some stainless bolts. They mount in the oar brackets and hopefully will work pretty good if I decide to do some trolling or want to drown a few night crawlers. Giving credit where it is due I have to admit I got this idea from Old Bill's 'Installing a fishfinder wtihout drilling holes!' post. Pretty clever. Lastly, I picked up a Lowrance X-4 pro fish finder from Gander. I think at this point I have everything to get the boat in fishing shape so I should have some more progress posts to come. On a random topic.....don't know if anyone out there has used Ardent Line Butter line conditioner, but so far I have to say i recommend. Sprayed it on some 50lb braid and pitching distance increased and the retrieve seems quite a bit smoother. We'll have to see how it holds up throughout the summer. [/QUOTE]
