I see.. Totally agree about the balance. The whole reason I moved the batteries to the centerline was because of the list. I hated how much I needed to use the trim tabs to level it out and of course tabs do nothing when you are just drifting and fishing from the helm side. I hadn't really...

D, Why not leave your second battery where it is and use the rear space where the oil tank was for storing lighter weight items? Do you think that the battery and hull are taking that much of a beating up in the cabin to warrant the rearward shift in weight?

I have a V20 which had two batteries in the starboard compartment back by the transom. I moved them to the centerline fish box between the two front seats. I like the ride MUCH better. Moving the weight forward was a good thing - at least for me..

Wow. That's a lot of runnin'.. I find that my knee bumps into the shifter too. It is annoying. I may glue a piece of closed cell foam to the offending part of the shifter.

Thanks guys. My wife tends to just roll her eyes when I engineer something (even when its to her benefit as it often is) so its nice to be appreciated! I thought I would update this after some actual use. Mounting it on the inside of the side window sounded like an ideal hedge against it...

Disposable toe and hand warmers are great - brighten the whole day a notch..

Yea, my rig is only for light weight rods for sure... MJ, I'm pretty sure your setup was the original inspiration for what I did. I remember seeing that pic or one very much like it on this board last year and the idea stuck in my head. I just needed to figure a way to make it removable for...

Thanks guys. I was thinking about that. All my rods are cheap but still... The cups are 4" in diameter so at 12 sq inches each they have plenty of strength (under ideal conditions) - but a dirty seal could be a real issue. I had thought about tethers but that seemed cumbersome. I hadn't however...

Ok, I'm all proud of myself so I thought I would share :-) When out fishing it seems that the unused rods are always in the way so I wanted a holder up by the bimini where they wouldn't interfere with our efforts. Still, the boat is used for family activities quite a bit so I didn't want...

Human powered but hey, its got a NEW a/c unit !

I can't venture a guess as to what its worth but I would price out what you want to replace it with and then ask the prospective buyer what he is offering. IMO it's always best to go second in price negotiations..

Thanks D, I wanted to get one last year but they were sold out. That's a great price you found there...

Post #10 in the following THT thread. Ouch.. http://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-forum/788263-how-dispose-fiberglass-hull.html

Agreed. I have had good luck with them too.

Nice. Thanks

LOL... What I really need is less meat on my bones ! :-)

So here is an update on my seat installation. Over all its real good. I have the weight adjustment set to minimum even though I'm about 195lbs. It bottoms out occasionally which is no big deal and I like the softer ride. If I went into rougher waters I would probably tighten it up but I haven't...

Ok so I want to update this thread for future posterity :-) I never found any wet foam or wood so I decided to move the batteries. My main goal was to get weight off of the starboard side in general so I didn't put much thought into the benefits of moving them forward too. It helped a lot. Now...

Me too

I'm hoping that the new hats look just like this. How much for the bear?
