Just Bought One

[Marinewithaboat]

So I just bought her recently. Working on her. This picture dosent show it but the topside has been repainted. Installed a fishfinder and a radio as well as a new switch board to control lights and bilge. Not sure of the year or model maybe someone on here can help me out with it. Runs strong with an 88spl on the back. Trailer needs a TON of work but I like to keep busy haha!

Re: Just Bought One

I'll take some new pictures later today. Unfortunatly my painting method isnt awesome so sanding and a new coat is in order. Does anyone know where I can get cheap rub rails for the trim for this boat. Still trying to figure out what model it is if anyone knows!

Shes been in the water a few times. Runs good, motor sometimes hard to start but thats another problem haha. So are these boats entirely fiberglass or is it a hybrid style?

Re: Just Bought One

I've been putting of the purchase of a fishfinder cuz I'm undecided on what I want. I'm mostly in shallow (under 50') freshwater, but do want to fish in the Chesapeake Bay (still up to about 50').
What kind did you buy and how do you like it?

Thanks

I bought a Garmin 90 and I love it. Its simple, on the cheaper side and it does just what I want. I wouldn't suggest spending a ton of money on. Good ol fasion intuition seems to work best anyway!
