I didn't mean to say it wasn't a good portable device; I think it is. I just never felt like the Side Imaging was helpful to me. It's pretty much made for what you want it for Jim. My older unit even had great battery life.

I have an old one from when they were still Bottom Line. Used it on my pontoon. It works well as a depth finder. The side imaging said it was picking up fish, but I can't say I ever caught one because of it. Found it hard to mount to my aluminum boat though. Ended up installing a Humminbird...

I used this for a 3 bank charger I installed up front. https://www.amazon.com/Mariner-15-Feet-Battery-Cable-Extender/dp/B000KOR766

That is like OCD clean and organized! :wink: Darn good looking rig man. I to have a Fisher (SV-3).

Hey gang. Got my first boat this Fall - '87 Fisher SV-3 with a '86 40hp Johnson VRO. There's not much I'm going to need to do to her, but most of the electrical on the boat & trailer will need re-wiring. But this is my first powered boat, so I'm sure I will have a lot of questions. I

The boat, and engine, look to be in great shape. There are some cracks at a few seams; but I think it's just the paint. It looks to have been kept very well. Right now, I'm fishing from a small pontoon float boat. It's a great little "go-anywhere" rig (i.e. throw it on my car roof); but I'm...

Hi and Thanks. I've read that actually. I found this site a few years ago after inheriting a little jon. This site made me scrap my "big" plans due to safety concerns, in fact. (Too small a boat.) I've been looking for a new one ever since. In regards to these semi-V's, the Do's & Don’ts section...

OK, I'm looking at a used Montgomery Ward Sea King and have some questions about, what else, decking it out. It's 14' long and 54" wide at the gunwales. I just want to know, hopefully from other folks who have similar boats, how stable these are stock and then modified? The transom is 16" tall...

154

Sweet. It probably makes a nice fart noise too.

This dude cut a bull's nuts off to get his guys pumped up? How'd they do that game?

Where can I get marine grade balloons? Does Cabelas... Wait a minute. This doesn't sound right. How do I keep the balloons from floating out of my boat?

Got it. Thanks fellas!

I was looking into increasing the "floatability" of my pre-mod jon boat. However, from what I gather, foam would only make the boat heavier, not float higher. Is that correct? If the boat took on water, that's when the foam would kick in – to save it from sinking basically. Otherwise, it’s just...

I'm going to start with a thorough cleaning and probably a repaint to spruce things up; inside and out. Since my inside work will be minimal, maybe I’ll get a little creative with the paint. I'll limit my wood & carpet to a floor, but I think I'll do all 3 sections. Stapled, not glued. I’ll...
