Starboard battery box anyone??

rap's rite bro. think on it good, or you will be wishin you had done this or that later. that starboard is $$$$$
 
Puttin' a TM on the cuddy was a no-brainer ... in stored position, it's over space that's already taken up, leavin' both sides of bow-deck accessible ... w/TM down and slider closed, opens room for casting from bow ...

The plug-in is CLOSE to the motor-base in the vent-cap ... plugs are SS ... plug-in is vertical, so won't catch/hold water ...

Parrot makes a point ... if this thing's in the wrong position, it can be a MAJOR PIA ;) ...

location isn't as issue for me IF I can get a freakin mount!! But RAP I been meaning to ask u...what size trolling motor u got on that big sucker?
 
The one on mine is a 72lb thrust ... just after I got mine, the 80lb came out, which is what's on the other one...both 24 volt ... better start thinkin' about on-board battery charger ;) ...
 
how much does academy want for a new one. rode out to check on that used (and to get some smokes) one i told you about yesterday but, that guy has his yard decorated just the way he wants it and none of his ornaments are for sale.
 
wow RAP that's kinda small for a V20...how does it do? This is a 70 and is the smallest I would go on this boat. I would prefer an 84 to 101 but the price was right...so..:wink:

PH I don't know man cause this is the 3x steering and they don't carry it nemore. The regular 70 with a shorter shaft is 650 though.
 
i meant the mount. you know, the thing that you need to MOUNT ur trollin motor.
 
Oh....Im getting it for free because I have severals buddies at Academy. That's was setup before ever getting the motor. If I would have had to buy one it wouldn't have been worth it. they want like 400 bones just for the mounts!!! :shock: Anyways my manager buddy there is getting one from a Minn Kota rep.
 
good deal. i found them direct from minkota for $250. still hi though. free is better!


unless its paint. free paint bad!
 
on that note...I called him this morning. He said he is 99% sure the freeze over the winter done it. Once paint freezes and thaws he said its worthless. Messes up the chemical composition. :-/
 
Actually, Stinky the 72 works quite well on the "V"...I've never wanted for more TM power under any condition...w/Auto-Pilot and Co-Pilot it set me back 9 skins...then add two grp 31 batteries and 2-leg charger...but it's the PERFECT set-up for the way we fish for these stripers down here ...


WTF mount are ya'll talkin' about for $400 :o
 
now you tell me! the freeze sure didnt make it no easier to sand. and to think, i was this close to giving you the green and gettin some blue. just think of the trouble i saved you,lol. like the color though. looks real good from about 50 feet away,lol.

so, what kind of sander you got? d.a. or jitterbug. i need a jitterbug but aint seen no cheap ones.
 
Rap, thats good to hear...Im ready to get mine going. The motor mounts haved range, but averaged 350-400. :-/


TP, jitterbug, does real good. 8)


Oh and on the paint being hard to sand, that aint got nuthin to do with the freeze. That aint car paint ol buddy it marine URETHANE. How many times I gotta tell you...ITS TOUGH!!! ;)


And stop biatchin about it...it was FREE top of the line paint! And YOU are the one who left it on the proch all winter...it was good before YOU got ahold of it. ::)
 
Here is a little update....

I took the family camping Thursday night ad Dauphin Island and MAN she ran alot better with those batteries moved forward. The scuppers were above the water at rest while anchored and that has NEVER happened before.

here she is: 8)

not biatchin at ya. was just sayin that 2 weeks ago when you wanted ur paint back it wioulda caused YOU the greif. thought it ironic, thats all. dont get ur panties in a wad.

remember: YOU CANT BE A PIMP AND A PROSTITUTE TOO !!!
 
I can see where 2 batteries would make a bigger difference the smaller the boat...not that the 18 is small but its smaller than a 20. That was a good move man.

You got the 18 dialed in and looking nice. I hear ya.
