Season 12 months vs 6 months would be the prevailing wisdom. Yes there are a lot of factors but, for a larger salt water boat kept in water, I would put Florida as a negative factor. The ideal boat is a trailer queen, garaged, lake boat from New Mexico.

BLASPHEMY!

those bow riders tend to have 1500W amps and 17 speakers....

if I had to wait til July to go fishing I'd blow my brains out.. Getting a boat ready by April is not easy. Can't bottom paint a 40degree hull. Funny how 50deg in February feels like summer but 50 deg in April feels like an Alaskan dick punch... Need a string of 70+ days to get things done...

May 14th Haven't had the weather to complete anything on my list. Started too many of them...:eek:

thread morphing into ballyhoo discussion ;) I guess you deal with toothies like kingfish, spanish, wahoo. Are you targeting sails or dolphin? Here in NJ I'll only put 'hoos on the long riggers and the way way back down the middle when trolling for tuna(yellowfin/bluefin) If we get mauled by...

IMO if you were ever going to learn to do fiberglassing, pulpits are right up there with recoring undersides of hatches for things to try yourself. Grind to clean material, don't try to save pieces of chips, grind them off. Grind out all cracks. Fill and fair and prime and paint. Lots of...

Nice! any color, as long as its a Blue & White Islander..... :rolleyes: but didn't BFT South close back in Feb????

Interesting. They fit an FS30 up there sideways. I was thinking of replacing my old Quicksilver but thought I would have to mount an FS30 inside somewhere.

Might get hot?

Yep my 1242xsv Touch Plus is uptodate and does not have that.

$14 for dry ice. You don't have a freezer that will keep it. $15 for a dozen medium ballyhoo...probably $10 in FL Not seeing the ROI on this one :rolleyes:

If you do the "hack", please take pix and tell us how it goes.

Yep absolutely great for kite fishing because the kites keep lines up high and downwind of transom and sock is off the bow. I don't kite fish here in NJ. (nobody does) Tried using for slowing a fluke drift (bottom) and a striper drift (live down baits). In that case the sock is in the way of...

Ya if you look at this the 20240103 updates your 8600 to v34.00. My 1242 Touch Plus is still at 28.40 Do you now see the "Where to" button? I still don't see where the Map updates are shown. They say with subscription you get "daily" updates whatever that means. How do you know whats...

I have one. Used it a couple times. It gets in the way. Your crew needs to know how to deal with it. I see its usefullness drifting in the wind but I usually just call it a day or switch to trolling.

Apparently there is also a software change that allows certain models to now use SD Cards over 32GB Says mine is compatible? I JUST bought some 32GB to have around because one of mine with old garmin data took a crap while I was trying to reformat it.

oh ...found version list https://www8.garmin.com/support/note.jsp?id=8743 I have latest in my machine.

I do get confused by Garmin and Active Cpt.. Look at Garmin site for latest update description. How do I know I have it? https://www.garmin.com/en-US/support/software/marine/ Garmin literature shows updated screens but I just updated and I don't see that. Active Capt says I'm uptodate. There...
