Lite Tackle, boat looks great. What is that white, cylindrical thing mounted in front of the 250?

Is your GPS antenna in line with the radar beam? Hard to tell from pic...

Motor is a 250. That was built as a simple but effective fishing device. It is part of a balance beam we use for sturgeon (along with Scotty triple rod holder and starboard forks) or just for raised Scotty rod holders off the back. It also can be used as a gutting tray and all around storage when fishing. Underneath is a bait cutting board with a small bait cooler on top. All removable. Plan was to do a little fishing and get as much of the 8 hr motor break in done as possible.

It’s close, unfortunately I have a bit of wiring (forgot to land the 12V) left on the radar and was unable to set it up. May have to drop the point one off the riser. Day was also a major shakedown run for the electronics. Chart and sonar was flawless once adjusted. So much networking and linking of devices, etc.

I didn't notice the white cylindrical addition, interesting. Would be interested in seeing it up close and in action...

Don’t have any pictures with the rod holders/rods in place but when anchored up bait fishing off the back for sturgeon we balance our rods to detect the very light bite. When trolling for salmon, we have anchovy rigs set up, releases, weights, etc., think of it as a poor mans tackle center. Very useful catch all. Removable via Scotty mounts.
