Agreed with the post above boat owners manuals are incredibly generic
-
Not always. The cheapest reels I've owned were the most reliable and by far longest lasting
-
Considering the budget, how it'll be used and the HP you are looking at I would be looking at a 16-17ft TILLER deep V. Casting deck up size up front, as well as storage can be more than adequate with an extension. The rest of the boat will be wide open.

You said you will fish and camp for 3-4 days. How do you think that will influence your boat decision. I'm just curious as I haven't noticed that mentioned in a thread about choosing boats.

Can you use any size hook listed in the mold description for any of the head sizes? For instance if the mold is listed as for 1/4,3/8,1/2 oz and the hooks listed as 2/0, 3/0, and 4/0 can I use a 4/0 hook in the 1/4pz head? Ill call netcraft tomorrow if they are open but thought maybe I could get an answer before then

Well considering they fish top of the line stuff and things are updated regularly it probably isn't stretching that much to say "this is the best". Now I don't see Quantum competing with shimano especially on the higher end stuff but they may have gone the extra mile to provide them with things they felt made things much better. Its not unreasonable to think they could have received new reels with modifications already in place. I don't know maybe I'm just rambling in his defense at this point. I know I would be willing to switch to dewalt tools and promote them for free tools and $$ for the work I do. I use Milwaukee and feel like their tools are superior but business is business

I've been out of this for long enough that I'm basically starting over. I need to put my boat together and rebuild a collection of rod and reels
-
I did a quick search and didn't find if this is a welded or riveted boat
-
I couldn't agree more. A dual cable system and a hydraulic system are both NOT the way to fix the issue. Now if you really want the hydraulic system because they are nice, because they are, nothing wrong with that either. I just wouldn't spend that kind of money on that unless I was keeping the boat for awhile.
-
where are you located?
-
2) Just buy a new cable helm assembly shop around though some places are much cheaper than others for the same product 3) Just make sure you remove and replace water logged foam. Rotten floors usually mean wet foam
-
Hmmmm This is a new motor.. My mistake So I'm curious how the steering actually compares to cable steering Edit: Ugh. After reading about it more I realize I just need to win the lotto to afford all the new tech
-
The point I was trying to make is that a Terrova offers the same spot lock and anchor features among others, for less money
-
WAY to expensive for me. So I may be biased with ***. With that said the updated ipilot on other models is supported to be more accurate than when it first came out. Ipilot is available on the powerdrive v2 and the Terrova. The Pd has a different mount and pedal and it's not for everyone but as far as I can tell the ultrexx and Terrova are the same motor minus the power trim and stow
