I borrowed a neighbor's trailer and got the toon out of the water and was able to get the trolling motor mounted and wired and got front rod holders mounted. Batteries are in and wired. Took it out for a little spin and I could get 30 mph out of it GPS speed. I will add lifting strakes to it after the first of the year. Tomorrow I will get everything loaded and get ready to go look for some crappie next week. Merry Christmas to all
Glad you getting er rigged up I think you gonna like it when you er finished. Merry Christmas my friend

Sounds like you are working hard on that thing. It better catch fish when you are done
Good luck and have fun! :ThumbsUp
I'm waiting on a report about how good it feels to ride and fish off of it! Hope you get it going soon. Merry Christmas to you and your family!:santa
This thread is worthless without pictures. Lol
Enjoy that new toon.
Post up them fishing pics, even if you don't catch anything. Some of us fish vicariously through others during the winter.

Tried to post pictures but tap a talk would not let me. I will take some and send them to Searay to post for me.
Send them to my email address and I'll post them. I am driving up to NC tomorrow so may be that evening or Sunday morning before I can get back on line.Quote:

Depending on the pixel count, some pictures are much larger file than others. Can you try posting just one picture at a time or did you get that message using only one picture?
Ray I was only posting one picture that I had on my phone as soon as it charges I will send it to you
OK ��
Here are a couple of pictures. Got two more that didn't upload, I'll post them later tonight after I fix my mistake.

Looks great just need your rod holders don
Good start but I'd bet you can find some place to spend more money on it. I can always find a hole to pour money in on mine.
looks good Don she's coming along nice
you'll have to take me on a trip on Murray someday
Unc I will be glad to take you anytime you want to go. Should finish what I have to do tomorrow. Grady I got a few things I planned on doing to it. Because of the engine size I want to add lifting strakes to it and if that does not help then I will add a third toon. I still got to figure out how to add rod holders to the back to
Looking good so far.Quote:

Great looking set-up Don. I bet it's tough looking out the door at the lake all the time.
It is sometimes like a couple weeks ago when the weather was in the 60s and no wind and I was stuck home with the wife who had just had surgery on her hand. I have lived here 27/28 years and kinda got used to it. I am hoping to get back on the water next week. How are you doing are you getting ready for back surgery. I am hoping to have my left knee replaced in April. Take care and God bless
Don,
I like the ski tow over the motor. I think it is to hook the fish stringers on, right !
That is the only use I can find for it to old and decrepit to ski. As soon as we get a good day I will call and come pick yo up and we will try it out. This wind is brutal today.
Don, You could probably bolt a bar on the top or sides of the ski bar to mount rod holders to it?
Thanks Grady I hadn't thought about that. I finally got my battery wired and hopefully I can take out a little while and try to learn the trolling motor. I got four spyderloks rail mounts coming so will probably put them on the back.
Don,
Just remember when you set the auto pilot if you change anything it will forget the auto pilot setting. Same thing with spot lock, if you touch any button it will drift away.
Spot lock only has a range of 1/4 mile if you launch and park the truck it may be too far away and drift. I wind up tying the remote to the dock, then parking. Your newer model may have a longer range
If you mount the rod holders on the ski tow bar make sure they are low enough so the cover fits correctly
