[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 130488, member: 1931"] First off Welcome and congrats on the new tin. As for the trolling motor they are pretty important if your going to move around and fish. If your just going to anchor up and fish then they are not that necessary, but very helpful, especially around the docks. As for the decks I personally don't like carpet. Carpet holds water, sand and fish guts/slime, and hooks. I personally like a product called Skid no more. It basically is latex paint with ground up rubber in it. It gives a non skid texture to the deck. I did mine and my fathers that way (see signature area for my dad's boat.) As for how to get the screws to not show in the carpet is to tighten them into the wood. Because the deck is wood the screw will pull down into the wood and the carpet will hide the head. Forgot to mention the depth finder. For fishing I think they are pretty important. Knowing what depth your at is vital to catching fish , sometimes. Other times you can catch them with out knowing the dpeth. But also knowing the dpeth of water on a new area that you have never been in before is important so you don't run aground. [/QUOTE]
