    Antone have this seat? Attwood Centric SAS

    I have a fishing seat mounted on the front deck of my Sea Chaser 175. I use it for both saltwater flats fishing, but the seat comes in when I am crappie fishing in the lakes. My back has been getting real sore after 6-8 hours on the water in the fishing seat. Last time out I sat in the seat in...

    Problem with sonar losing signal

    I have a brand new Garmin GPS740 and the Airmar P66 transom mount transducer. The problem I am having is losing my sonar (and depth if using GPS) signal when getting on plane.

    Just info on my new (to me) boat issues, maybe help someone else

    Re: Just info on my new (to me) boat issues, maybe help someone else You are correct. Although the Carolina Skiff website has a great explanation of their hull construction. I will never take it for absolute fact, but I have had the thru-hull scupper drains, transom plug and other thru-hull...

    Southern Engineer windshield

    So I have been searching for a new windshield for my Sea Chaser 175. Thought it would be easy (Ebay, Dusky etc.). Could not find one. Also wanted a clear windshield for better vision at night.

    Looking for advice, Sea Chaser 175

    I own a new to me Carolina Skiff Sea Chaser 175. When I bought it I knew it had been used hard. There are many scrapes/gouges on the bottom of the hull from being used in the flats. I plan to fill the deep scrapes/gouges (a couple of small spots are through the gelcoat) and paint the area about...

    Battery locations in a center console?

    I am working on a Sea Chaser 175, new to me. Coming from bass boats I always had places for 3 batteries. The battery compartment in this 175 will barely hold 2 batteries, and it does not appear that they can be too big. Has anyone run batteries on the floor under the console? This seems like a...
