I think I'm gonna get me one of those great big magnets and throw it out behind the boat next time I'm trolling and casting...never know what u might catch!

Got alot of great thoughts and ideas i didnt think of.... thanks everyone!!! keep em coming!!

good idea... never thought of that one... can u explain WHY it is so much better?

Come on, tell the truth. You know you don't really want her going with you. lol...welllll....ok ur right. she hates to fish. but taking the wife and kids tubing was kinda what helped me pry the money from "the warden's" death grip to buy the boat. I carefully weighed the cost, I think it'll be worth it... :-/

came with a zercom in-dash flasher, hb cheapo on the bow. got my mind made up already on that one... gonna be a hb 898, 998, or 1197 with side scan mounted on a swivel base at the console so it can be turned for use on the bow. TM is the original MG 43# bow mount. dont think I'm gonna change that yet, but ya never know!

also: hot foot pedal. oh yeah one more thing... a shoe box full of $100 bills.

Just bought a 18' Viper cobra and it didnt come with a few things i need. Whatever's left on the list by Sunday I'm gonna pick up new. heres the list: Life jackets: tournament fishing style (auto inflatable would be nice) for me and maybe the wife, good kids jackets for the rugrats; anchor, boat fenders (goes btwn boat and dock to protect the boat), outboard motor support bracket, new bow roller for the trailer, 3-4 marker buoys, keel guard. also open to any recommendations in the process...

shame on you for thinking you could make it thru a WHOLE YEAR boatless! :-/

well I guess that answers that.

No kids to sell.....But I have a wife I'd be willing to auction off! With that income I should be able to get a powerpole and the 1197! ;D ;D ;D

sell one of your kids and buy 'em both :-? ;D

Javelin200 just emailed me a scanned copy of the manual I needed. Awesome Job. Cant wait to pay it forward!

OIC. thanks.

does anyone have any info as to when the HB 1198 is coming out? The clerk at BPS told me that they didnt know when but it could be soon. when it does come out THAT means the 1197 drops in price ALOT. and I just happened to be in the market.

going over my new (to me) boat and cant find any hour meter on the motor. its a 1999 merc 125. is there an hour meter on this engine?

just bought a bass boat and thats how the previous owner had his mounted..... I'm thinking about changing it too.

+1 :-? :-?

get the scuba gear out and go see....there might be sunken treasure!! ;D ;D

does anyone have any experience with zercom in-dash flashers? there's one on the bost thst I just bought, and I don't have the manual. The previous owner loved it.

how do u keep from opening up some of those packages??!!?? i cant wait to open 'em up and rearrange my boxes to make room.

boat is purchased. :D ;D ;D 1999 viper cobra 180s 125 merc. pics on another post soon. think im going to go with progressive.

makes sense... fish rarely see the top of the bait so any writing in the dorsal area seems like the best spot.

WHAT!! really, I have done well on those. But, mostly catching pike. scares the hell out of bass that lure is to bass as insane clown posse is to a wine and cheese dinner party. yup pretty much clears the room.

yozuri jerk bait in green and white. looked like the bait monkey drank some green and white paint, ate a hot dog whole and barfed it all up. what was i thinking!?!

Nice collection ;D. I don't feel too bad now. yeah...sheesh...i gotta go get more dt's now! :-X :-/ :-/
