NEW TO ME RIDE! (long)

I know there is a thread for pictures of your rig but I wanted to share with y'all my new rig. I still have my 1720 KeyWest that I fish out of normally but I sold my 15' Xpress duck boat with a surface drive motor and bought this. It is a 2007 1756SC Triton paired with a 2006 Mercury 75hp Optimax outboard. The motor has 66 hours on it and not a mark on the prop. The paint on the bottom side of the boat is all still intact. It was used very little and I think I got a great deal on it.

The boat was plain jane and needed new seat covers on two of three seats and need the cushion for the gun box recovered. I hope I am done adding stuff to it. So far I have a Minn Kota powerdrive v2 70lb thrust with auto pilot trolling on a quick release bracket, a Lowrance Elite-7 HDI on the console, a Humminbird 788CI on the bow and a Lowrance HDS 5 on the stern (depthfinders equipped on Johnny Ray mounts), a on board three bank battery charger, two new 29 series Interstate bartteries, a 29 series battery tray, two new Tempress seats on the bow and stern, two new seat covers for the driving and riding seats, welded another transducer bracket on the transom, added another seat post in the back, extended the livewell overflow tube, motor transport bracket for the Mercury, and finally all of the rod holders. I built the rod holders and tubing. I could technically fish 16 rods on the bow and 16 rods on the stern. I don't plan on ever doing that but it is possible.

Here are some pics:

That's one sweet ride Brandon. With all the fish that boat is gonna catch you gonna NEED that camo to keep the other fishermen from following you around on the lake. Very nice!:)

Very nice. Now add a few more rod holders and it will be just right.

Thanks for the compliments. I went ran her for a bit this morning and I am ready for Friday. Hopefully the wind and some of the rain will hold off. I am ready to put some fish in the boat.
