Blew off the striper fishing and bought some crabs and went toggin' yesterday. Good bite. 18", 16", two 15", several 14.75" and a bunch of peanuts. Love that KRAKEN!!!!! There is an early AM large striper bite on live bunker along the beaches. Might hit that later in the week.

oh ok. I guess thats just old gelcoat dripping. One picture looked like they were sealed up with white. The side handles on my LiTime 36v/100ah were just enough to prevent mounting sideways. I thought I would be recharging after each 4-6 hour trip. I get two or three trips before it goes...

Is that an 8D size? I could not turn mine that way. looks like you sealed up the vent holes for the refrigerator? Won't it get hot in there?

Thats some nice engineering!:) So you still have refrigerator in place? and fit a battery sideways behind it. I know my battery would not fit sideways. What size battery is that? You are going to love the Kraken. Changed my life!!! I have not anchored all season! I suppose you moved nav...

heheheh that was a daily commute...

heheh Just ran into the constant problem with hiring the professional... You find a good one for a couple seasons and then " oh sorry, I'm not doing that anymore" "here's the number to "a guy" and "the guy" is the one you didn't like 5 seasons ago...

Thats "patina"... ;)

The expresses all had centered helms. Pros- Helmsman has a much more comfortable ride in rough seas(vs normal starboard helm) Helmsman can see better to both sides, both forward and aft. I think this is particularily important when fishing. If you are a fisherman, the center helm on an...

Can't help you. I have seasonal slip. Pay a professional with a 1 ton truck and a hydraulic trailer $300 in /$300 out. Blocks and stands in the winter. I can't rationalize a truck & trailer for this beast. Seems to me the 25 yo truck is "free" as long as it works. "Historic" plates & 1000...

it was an option so most likely not. They don't list two dry weights The drawing in the manual has no top

Assuming you are going to launch to go fishing.....My guestimate is easily over 10k. without the trailer.... Realistically, you need a 3/4 ton truck 5400 hull 1000 hardtop & canvas 1500 250 gals of gas 1200 motors 200 Batteries 9300 before gear & ice

That boat would run fine with 200s. Well into the 40s. plenty of hole shot.

Thoughts... That breaker switch in the hatch, under the fwd cushion of the bunk(covered with rods), is going to be a pain. Not thrilled with the outlet position but it is accessible. Decide if opening and closing a foot of rail on the pulpit helps you in any way and is it worth the trouble.

On many boats they are really only for access to motor bolts. If you don't need them to reach bilge pump or something important, you can just seal them with silicone

Go a page back.. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/265x-with-a-bow-mount-trolling-motor.39685/post-288693 I will probably put an elbow and vertical post to the deck on the end of the cut pipe. leave the gap open
