Great bags thanks guys, and yes I am using zip lock bags right now, was hoping to upgrade to something a little.... well nicer, these bags may actually fit in my storage unit perfectly

I have a 14' Jon boat, it has a 3 bench seats that are as wide as the boat, the bench in the middle has two lids that open away from each other it's not very deep maybe about 12 inches, and it has two plugs on either side I guess it was supposed to be a live well not sure. I have all my accessories in it life jackets, lights, buoy markers etc... but it's not water proof at all. I was hoping someone would have an idea of how I could possibly make it water tight or at least close to water tight, I have looked everywhere for a plastic storage unit that will fit down in it but can't seem to find one any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hey guys, I have recently purchased a Magellan Triton 400 and the software for the southeastern lakes for $100.00 I have recently seen Hotmaps for the same lakes much cheaper, does anyone know if this software is compatible with my Magellan? Thanks for the info.

Or you can do it the redneck way like I did, went to Walmart and bought a shower radio. Larry Munson never sounded better on those early morning saturday game days, payed $9.99.

Very nice mod, looks great! Do you have any problems seeing the depth finder screen? was just curious.

Thanks guys, what a pain in the %$*^# I will never buy another boat without having some paper work. Unfortunately I payed much more than $150.00 so I guess I will call and plead my case.

I bought a jon boat about a year ago and the guy I bought it from did not have it registered so he did not have a card for the boat, the boat is a late 1970's model and I have no idea when it was last registered. DNR wants a notarized proof of purchase which I have but there is no way I will be able to track the person down that might have a registration card. Is there any way around this? Will a proof of purchase be enough to get my sticker? I mean certainly I am not the only one that has run into this problem before (or am I). Any help would be great, I follow the Georgia State rules.

Hey dadto4 I have a boat similar to that but mines 14' and the bench in the middle is actually a huge livewell, when you post pics will you put some detailed ones of how you deck it? I want to deck the front of mine but not sure how to get started. Thanks

I hear you buddy, my parents were divorced when I was 4 years old, my dad met who is now my step mom, we moved to Pensacola Fl, I miss seeing my mom but I feel very fortunate that I wasn't raised in Oregon. There's just not much to do or sustain a life. Your right it is very beautiful unlike any other place in this country, and I love to visit, but that's about it. My step dad was a commercial fisherman out of Winchester Bay a long time ago, but I hear that has also gone down the tubes. I am trying to get my mom to move closer to here but she just can't seem to leave. My grandpa and my dad both worked at the paper mill until it closed down a long time ago, that place is pretty much a ghost town now. I haven't been back in a long time, but I would love to go someday and do some fishing.

Holly crap Basschump my mom lives in Florence Oregon, I was born in Reedsport what a very very small town and small world.

Thanks buddy

Hey Daniel I saw this mount at BPS and almost bought it, but I was told the mount has to mount through the handle in the front of the boat. I have my nav lights on the front of the boat right in the center above the handle so I didn't think it would work. I notice that you have yours hanging to the side of the center. How does the mount stay stable on the boat? Is it bolted into the boat somehow? Also how long is the shaft on your TM? I have a 14 foot flat bottom Jon, I'm not sure of the shaft length am worried it wont be long enough.

I have a 14'36" jon boat and I go about 290lbs, I have a 20HP Merc and a 30 thrust TM, both in the back, I have never had any problems with mine and because my TM is in the back (for now) I walk all over the boat and it holds me pretty good. My dad was in town over the holidays and he is about the same weight and we didn't have any problems either, I bought the whole set up from craigs list for $1200.
