[QUOTE="thomasdgs, post: 461179, member: 22880"] With only four months until next summer's fishing season opener, it's time to start planning mods I want to get done this year. My number one goal for next season is to use the boat more. With not having the boat in the water until the beginning of September, I really didnt get to enjoy it much. My plan for this year is to only start projects than I can finish in one week (including having all my parts on hand before starting) to keep the boat sea worthy for as much of the open water season as possible. Upgrades for this year: -Two (maybe three) new seats with all new 3/4" king pin mounts and pedestals, with one extra deck plate on the casting deck. - new fish finder / GPS. Garmin Striker plus 7 CV is my prime candidate. -bow guides on the trailer. Launching in fast moving currents a lot of the time makes getting on the trailer difficult. -install nav. lighting. -switch panel. And the two mods that will require most planning and be the biggest risk for eating up my fishing time.... -remove middle bench and install flat floor, with floatation underneath. -port side rod locker/storage box. What's your opinion on 3/4" king pin vs. 1 3/4" seat bases? [/QUOTE]
