non-pro-archer Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 If you were buying or remodeling a boat, what features would you want? What negative features would you look out for? Quote
Super User Sam Posted June 16, 2013 Super User Posted June 16, 2013 Also would like to have: 24-volt trolling motor system 3-Bank onboard battery charging system Easy way to check water levels in batteries depending on their placement Jack Plate Two Power-Poles Ladder to get into and out of the water Hot Foot Ice Chest built into the boat Eliminating the small step so you have more fishing platform in front of the boat Remove all fuses and replace them with circuit breakers Drink and Cup holders by the console and up front by the electronics Couple the electronics together for the console and front of the boat Sidescan and Downscan electronics of your choice Comfortable seats, like you find on Rangers Add a plastic support to your front seat to hold an umbrella to keep rain and sun off you while fishing Biggest live well you can have with an 800GPH pump Water restive compartments Place to store BSX in an compartment and speaker on trolling motor to be like KVD and the other pros Just a few things for starters!

Super User Sam Posted June 16, 2013 Super User Posted June 16, 2013 Also, think about where you want to store your net. We always forget about storing the net. Quote
non-pro-archer Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 Well my budget is pretty tight so im looking at older bass tracker. If any of you guys that have pics of any modifications you have done to your boats would be great if I could see them. I've got quite a few ideas so far of what i would like, how big does a rodlocker need to be for say...15 poles baitcasters and spinning rods mixed? I know that I'm goin to be limited on space but do you have any tips to maximize what I will have? Quote
jherm87 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Probably going to need more than one rod locker for 15 rods Quote

I know that I'm goin to be limited on space but do you have any tips to maximize what I will have? How old, and what is the length of the boat? I once owned an 80's vintage 17' Tracker that had ZERO room for rod storage. On the other hand, I now own a 2004 Tracker TV-18 that has enough storage for fifty 7' 6" rods if you want to cram them in. Quote
non-pro-archer Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 Probably mid to late 80s or early 90s and I really want something longer than 17 foot Quote
