What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

You can even use these in a pinch. Only slightly better though.

Sikaflex, but the way you’re building this boat you might as well use chewed bubble gum.

Wow a guy Jerry rigs an electric trolling mount and all of a sudden his boat is falling apart. You guys are hilarious! I picture Tom and Jerry stuff where I go to sink a screw and she peels away lol. She's held up for 31 years lol. Knock on wood. I appreciate all of it. Boats are fun.

You have to make sure to use big league chew grape. The hubba Bubba crap peels right off after a launch. I can get at least 2 weeks adhesion w the big league...

Yeah I was shocked. I had a really narrow section of gunnel on the old bayliner that I was trying to mount a scotty mount to. No chance of accessing it but there was a hollow in behind. Drilled some holes, threw those in, pumped full of 5200 and called it a day. Good enough for a Bayliner.

Got my 2nd kicker put on
Had my 3rd rigger relocated
A couple more rod holders added for tuna or whatever else
And have finally found the perfect props for my boat ended up with 19x16 which puts me doing 30 mph at 3300 rpm just sipping fuel and a wot of 5200 rpm doing 56 mph
And yes the kickers are plenty fast enough for tuna fishing wot they put me around 11 knots
Cannot say enough good things about the guys at Bridgeview in Prince Rupert they were the reason I switched from Yamaha and I honestly didn’t regret it for one second.
Can’t say it enough choose your power on who’s going to support you!

Impressive transom!
Do all motors steer together or are the kickers independent of the mains?

Everything is tied in together

That's slick.
How many steering stations, any remotes, and what autopilot are you using.
Not sure why I am all excited by steering, but this is next level.

counter-rotating kickers? (kidding!!)

2 steering stations
And simrad auto pilot
Tied in with 3 lowrance screens
This boat has always been next level for fishing but now I’ve finally got everything exactly how I want and am so excited it’s an absolute weapon to fish out of

Very nice.
Can you think about shooting some video in action and sharing on Youtube?
I feel like I need to up my game from still pictures for boat **** Fridays (which start at 3:30 in my office)
All the components are top notch, really want to see the magic of how it all comes together when working hard.

Getting close with my Commander renovation. New tanks, hoses, carpet , upholstery, batteries, thru hulls and vents . Still need a new fridge and to finish the bathroom. I have a window going into the bathroom wall as well. Should be wrapped up next week.
