Don't take this the wrong way, but I hope you put that much effort in the running gear!

Awesome! Looks to be ready for a great summer of boating & fishing. I love the look of the sportman with just the hardtop. I am pulling my flybridge off my sportsman.

Way nice what's your game trout walleye or salmon? Speed may br a factor. On lake Erie the walleye pros like 2.5 to 3 my 32 will only get down to4 on one engine you might want to get a sea anchor or outboard set up

Capt. Brent,

On the speed factor U might want to take a inch out of the prop pitch. That’s how I got myBigM to get down to 1.4 mph to troll 4 waltereyes. That let me get rid of sea anchor bags. (BTW I have 2 of them 4 Sale) My props where 16 x16 changed 16 x15 all I lost was about 2 mph at top end @ WOT GPS reading. Shhh (do let this out cause it may hurt me in a tournament) (*,) Which in my case I very seldom run at them speeds due to wave conditions on Lake MI. AnyWho it worked 4 me Anxious

Norm,

 You'll have bad times, but they'll just wake you up to the good times you weren't paying attention to

Some people try to turn back their odometers.Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

Thanks, I fish for all of them, trout and salmon in the spring until the walleye come in around mid june through the end of july then its off to lake michigan (Frankfort)in august for the salmon. I have the sea anchors and they do work well they also help the autopilot hold course if the wind is blowing. Toss one in and bump the throttle up a lil throws more water at the rudder I guess, seems to work so far.

Thanks Jeff. No offense taken to a very valid point. I have a friend who owns a marina and is also a Marinette owner I left that stuff to him this year until I can get my fingers a little dirtier and learn my way around the engines, trans, etc. I may need some advice from you as well since you sound like you've had your fingers dirty plenty of times.

Thanks! Yes I do have interior pictures. I posted them on here about 7 months ago. I believe they are in "my boat and its picture
' on page 2 about 1/3 of the way down.
