Badbagger said:Well just back from a run down to St. Marks and Shields Marina. I brought them 5 pages of type written instructions lol, yes I AM ANAL. Met with the owner who is a hands on guy and great to deal with. Went through it all from soup to nuts and they'll start on Sunday and be done during the week at some point. He took one look at the boat having seen it before and said "WOW"... then he looked at the rigging work and he's someone who knows what it takes and said
"You've got a LOT of time rigging this"... boy you ain't kidding. He told me that people just don't comprehend that it may take 40 hours to completely rig out a boat when they're buying a new boat and it's NOT cheap! Glad I did what I could and sure have learned a lot and saved a LOT of cash by doing it myself.
Badbagger said:Indeed, this is a pretty big marina and they pay their mechanics very well. I'd be the shop labor rate is $65+ per hour at the minimum.
Have a look, beautiful place: https://www.shieldsmarina.com/custompage3.asp?pg=marina

+2...I have the Humminbird version which is called Side Imaging (si). While you can spot fish and bait balls, off either side, these units really shine when locating structure. When fishing the canals around here, I can see stuff lurking under docks....might be a mullet, might not. Just have to throw something in there to see what happens. The 10"screen helps these old eyes too.Country Dave said:Hey you did a great job of explaining that and besides all that, maybe the most important thing of all is “it’s cool” :mrgreen:
No seriously you pretty much said it all. When I’m up skinny “and that’s most of the time” we look for the sand holes, the reds trout and alike love to lay in them and ambush the bait as the swim over. Funny thing is the potholes may only be a foot or two deeper but the water temp can be as much as 4 or 5 degrees warmer and that’s another factor that attracts them.
