Oop's, our boat is a 2902 Trophy, she is 33'11" Length Overall. The twin kickers really help with trolling straight in any conditions and tides. The aft steering station makes setting gear a breeze when fishing alone.

That's my dream boat!!! Beautiful boat fishchaser.
 
Ya sure if I had your money I'd load up a couple yami 350's !! But I don't so those 250's are gonna be run until they die! The heads working but only for the wifey... I got a great bucket for you though! Form fitting!

Great Viking Bloodbuggy. My brother has the same boat and I bug him to go fishing but no luck. How has it fished for you?

Thanks Kaelc, the Viking has been a great boat for me, have had it for 3 years now and she has caught a lot of fish in that time. Just recently gotten a new to me boat that's a little more roomy for the family and friends, here's a picture. Sadly I will most likely be selling the Viking as I can't afford upkeep on 2 boats. PM if your in the Sooke area sometime and we'll get out for a fish. CheersView attachment 16357
 
Heck of a boat demco99, looks like it was cared for over its life, a true classic.
 
Nice boat Bloodbuggy, does that mean the Viking is going to be for sale sometime soon. My cousin might be in the market for a boat this spring. What are the details on the Viking.

Thanks Oly, the Viking is a 1994 with same year economical Merc 115, boat and motor have 440 hrs on it. Its 19.5 ft with a very wide beam and a small cuddy and quite a large dancefloor, full canvas, baitwells, fishbox and mounts for scotty riggers. May also include a 2014 Tohatsu 8 if priced right. Stereo, VHF and Lawrance Elite 5 gps/fish finder, all on a galvanized easy load trailer. Any other questions let me know. Bloodbuggy.
 
I got a new toy!
It's a Lund SSV 16' with a 30 HP Evinrude E-TEC.
Obviously the modifications aren't complete. I've actually only begun, but here are some early pics.



You'll see in the pic I have a Stern Saver mounted on the transom for the transducer. I couldn't bring myself to punch holes in the transom. I'll see if this works long term.
Next up is mounting and wiring downriggers and the fish finder/chartplotter -- a Lowrance Elite-7 HDI with a 50/200 transducer -- and some seats.

After installing a 27 Group Deep Cycle battery and Blue Sea 6 fuse block with neg bus under the driver seat, I took the boat to Keith at Primus Metalcraft in Chilliwack for two downrigger mounts. I've seen before the clamp-on mounts allow for a lot of wobble in the gunwale, so I wanted a custom mount to hold 'em.

I couldn't be happier with Keith's work. He turned these around quickly, and the price was right. They are built like tanks and they're awesome to look at, too. Keith is a real artist.
