inflatable rigging (ocean)

[idrb]

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice on rigging up my inflatable.

Boat details: 10' Caribe with a rigged bottom (RIB) with 8 HP 2 stroke.

Id like to use the boat for cruising around the the harbors in southern california and on really flat days going outside the harbor max 2-5 miles. Max would be 2 guys, but mostly solo fishing.

Any suggestions on a sonar, gps, radio and whatever else I may need to rig up my raft. Since I have no battery source on board would you suggest buying a portable sonar and radio or are these just a waste of money? and what about a mini bait tank, live well?

I guess what i'd really like to see are pictures of your inflatables(if you have one) and how you rigged them up.

I can not tell you anything about the GPS and Sonar......I am looking into the same thing for my boat. I am using it for diving not fishing. A sonar would be a huge help in trying to find things on the bottom.

I can give you an idea for your live bait box though. Check out the following link,

I have used one many times while stripper fishing. Always worked great for me.

Good luck on the rest of your endeavor.....

Merry Christmas

Thanks. Merry Christmas to you too!

BTW, I found these websites who sell a smaller sized bait tank. Thought you would be interested.
