I have the Garmin striker 4 portable set up with the suction cup mount it works great on my canoe

Been working on my canoe relineing my rods and letting the bait monkey loose on the tackle box stocking up ?

Well got some better pictures and did a couple mods today as well

I can’t wait to see your video I’ll send some better pictures of what I’ve done

Love your set up. I’m always looking for ideas on new mods On my canoe I currently just finished my battery box and am working on a different stabilization system. These pictures aren’t the best I’ll try to get some better ones later

I’ve used a 30 and a 36 pound thrust motor and I currently have a 55 on my 16 1/2 foot canoe and it moves along quite nicely loaded down with two guys and all the gear

I got a old used small boat trailer for my canoe and modified it to fit

I started off with my dads old 8 foot raddission canoe that took a lot of damage over the years. Then went to a 8 foot John boat that I go for free it had more Silicone and duct tape holding it together then aluminum with a 30 foot pound trolling motor. Now I have a 16.5 foot ascend dc156 canoe with a 55 foot pound trolling motor that I trick out a little bit more every year

It’s never good to see that if you take the time to walk down the boat ramp first you might be able to anticipate a problem such as that happening I think that if you are smart enough you might think to bring a tow strap or change and find a spot to attach your truck to it with enough slack to be able to launch your boat and that way of your truck starts sliding down the ramp the strap or change will stop your truck from taking a swim

I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who put there canoe on a trailer lol. I have a garmen striker 4 with a suction cup mount and it holds up really good. I run a minn Kota 55 lb thrust on a assend dc156

Hi there. I power a 16.5 canoe with a 55 thrust pound minnkota It moves it around just nicely and it should push yours around without a problem i pared that with a 1000 CCA deep cycle battery and have not had to use my backup booster pack

The world would be a much better place if everyone was willing to lend a helping hand do to others as you would have th do to you

You’ll need to make shure you have all your paper work lol I went in to Boston to register my canoe last year and ended up needing a signature from the place I purchased it from but that did tell me that I could do it all by mail witch really helped

I like the dead man switch idea I pack my canoe up in late September and stay on the banks until April

Man I never carried a kit On my canoe but I’m thinking it’s going to happen this year especially now that my sun wants to go out more with me

I tow my canoe it’s a 16.5 assend square back I have it loaded with everything and it is much easer then trying to lift it into the bed or o. Top of my truck if I’m going somewhere where I cans launch it off the trailer I have a smaller pack Canoe that old as that come but light enough to toss in the bed and carry to the water

Just my 2 cents I am a certified master technician and I get to fix them all what you buy should all depend on what you like I see more problems with fords and dodges then I do with chevys and GMC with that being sed if you are going to purchase a new truck. You need to drive them and see what one feels better for you I have a 2013 GMC 2500HD with a 6.0 under the hood I use it for work I plow with it and tow my little boat with it I also tow car trailers from time to time and I know for a fact that I have exceeded the towing capacity for the truck . If you use your truck for more Then just towing a boat then getting a 3/4 ton if a good idea but if you are only using it for going fishing then 1/2 ton will do fine

Those are some beautiful fish

That’s a nice looking setup I take it you are the only one that can fit in there or are you able to take someone else I’m always taking someone else with me

welcome im south of Boston in the brockton bridgewater aria

Ok guys I hav had my canoe for 3 years now and the new ness has worn off so it’s time to start doing some modifications to it . So far I have re located where I put the battery to the center of her and I’ve added 4 rod holders and a fish finder also a stabliser system and I’m still brainstorming on things to do to it what kind of modifications have you guys done I’m looking for ideas

I’ve been tinkering around with my lil water wip the fish finder is my latest addition to her I’ll have to send a pic of her when she is all geared up to hit the water

I have a 16.5 foot ascend dc156 I love it it can hold me and 2 of my buddies and all our gear . I have it on a trailer so it’s easier to launch . You can go in places where the big boats can’t and it’s easier to put a motor on it then a kayak even though some of those fishing ones look pretty snazzy

I to fish in a canoe and I launch it with the help of a boat trailer I’m quick to unload and quick to load as I get her ready to go out or to go home in the parking lot I have seen way to many fart nockers hog the ramp and thay are usually to Pleasureboaters as far as respect in the water I have had no problems with other fishermen on water mainly because I like to get in to the spots that thay can’t ?

Just a couple small additions to my truck
