  1. The next one I catch, I will be sure to take a picture of and share with you all! This is a wonderful thread!! Great job girls!!!
  2. First of all, I would just like to acknowledge and thank you and everyone who chose to be vulnerable in this thread. It is very touching to read...and certainly very inspiring and encouraging for me as well! My life has definitely not gone the way I had once envisioned it. I have never been the person who has gone down the path of least resistance. Growing up, I had what some people might call a rough start...and because of this, certain qualities started to develop early on in me (ie. empathy, compassion, understanding, forgiving, willful, observant, etc..). My main goal in life has always been to "help others"...and as I have developed into my young adulthood, I realize that I can accomplish this goal in any situation I am faced with. I have realized that if there is one thing in life I have control over, it's my decisions. Everything in life is a choice. Everything we think, feel, and act on is based upon how we decide to react, act or otherwise feel about it. I am still learning and applying this fact everyday and in every moment. For a long time, I reveled in the victim role...feeling self pity was my specialty. Now, I am diligently and earnestly making the conscious choice to redefine my experiences and feelings so that I can not only survive but thrive. I want to be a living example of how life's sour lemons can be transformed into the sweetest, most quenching lemonade! Sometimes, I get discouraged and impatient because I want to be at the "end of the rainbow" already but I am slowly recognizing now that the "joy is in the juicing"! So, keep juicing my friends!! And remember, light shines brightest in darkness!! I thank you so much for your posts, because they have sparked something deep down in me to share and be vulnerable! Make it a magical day everyone!!
  3. I just want you all to know that I fully appreciate everyone's opinions and feedback with regard to this issue! I certainly get a lot out of "belonging" to a place where there are likeminded individuals with similar interests. Thanks so much guys!!! Have a wonderful day!!!
  4. I understand completely! We are going to have a sonar in place to avoid these possible hazards.
  5. Ahh. I can certainly see why not! What about sonar as an option? Is this the only body of water you frequent??
  6. Cool! Would you feel like there is additional value if you could have all of these features consolidated into one location? Instead of having so many devices to have to play and keep up with?
  7. In addition to all of the features that are already out on the market, you will be able to map out on your touch screen smartphone device where you want to go, before having to record your path by traveling on it. How does this sound to you? Do you think this is a valuable feature to have?
  8. Yes! And ours will have not only what they are offering but will also have a touch screen, and you will be able to plot your course without having to travel first to your destination spot! What do you think about these differences? Do you see them as valuable?
  9. Yes, we are designing a smartphone application that will allow you to plot your course along your desired path. From my understanding, there are different navigational systems in place that will record your path once traveled on. Ours would allow you to set your course prior to starting your route. Have you heard of something like this on the market?
  10. THANK YOU!!! I will be looking forward to it!! Have a great weekend!
  11. Cool!! Thanks so much Glenn! Can I ask, why don't you like autopilot? What is it about this feature that you don't particularly enjoy? Thank you for sharing the link above. I will certainly investigate it! And yes, I definitely agree with your battery choice. They are more reliable, lighter weight and have an overall better performance than say, lead acid batteries. And yes, they are expensive! It's an upfront investment that I believe is worth making...personally. Would you be open to speaking with me for a few minutes over the phone at some point? You seem very knowledgeable and I could really use as much input as I can get! I would not be trying to sell you anything, I am just needing to understand the market so that my team knows which direction to go! Please let me know if you would be open to this? Thank you Glenn.
  12. Wow! I love the pics!! That really helps me to capture what you are trying to explain! Thank you!!
  13. I agree with both arguments. This is what makes our decision so difficult.
  14. I agree! This is why our team spent so many years trying to develop our electric kayak but we have recently made a risky switch to focus on the electric outboard realm for now. We are just wanting to make sure that we don't spin our wheels, which is why we are looking for experienced fisherman who can help us understand the market. Would you be at all willing to maybe talk with me for a couple minutes over the phone at some point? I just feel like I could do a better job communicating with you about exactly what we are trying to do. I am simply looking for feedback...nothing else. Please let me know if this is something you wouldn't mind doing? Thanks so much!
  15. Thanks Tom for going the extra mile and explaining this to me! I feel the same way you do. It's been tough because we don't want to keep spinning our wheels not really knowing which direction we should go? We have spent multiple years on the electric kayak (Volt Boats) and have most recently decided to make a switch to the electric outboard sector and just want to make sure that we are making a wise decision? Would you be open to spending 10 mins with me on the phone? I would not be trying to sell you, I really just want to explain to you exactly what we are trying to deliver so that I can get as accurate of a response from a knowledgeable fisherman as I can. If you are able and willing, I would be most appreciative! Thanks Tom
  16. Are you able to just "tap and go"? Or do you have to "record" your course first and then you can later navigate to it??
  17. I agree. So, based on your sound knowledge and experience, what would you consider to be a practical boat for an electric outboard motor that is roughly the same as the Minnkota Power Drive V2 with consolidated features that you would not have to buy separately? In other words, who do you think would like this motor option?
  18. That's awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing that video with me! I enjoyed it!!
  19. Also, all the features would be consolidated rather than having to add additional features...?
