Added the Garmin gvc20 and the gt34UHD to the boat.  I decided not to go fishing this evening... I did put the Bimini top back it.  It's getting hot here.  I will go Friday. 

 

I'm excited to see if I get almost mega like imaging.  

Make a video.  Also what kinda truck are you in the market for?   Boat would look good behind a Tacoma or Tundra...lol

Just getting if the lake at midnight.  It was a fun time.  I have some video of the units in action.  A couple screenshots as well.  The UHD is definitely clearer.  It is all on default, but I will play with the settings.  The mega on hummingbird is much bolder at this point.  Still, it is way clearer than the clearvu

Ok, I was reading bottom going 30 mph tonight.  It seem that I have finally found the right place for my transducers.

6.7 Powerstroke would look better

Dodge Ram for the win!

I really, really liked the 2019 RAM.  In fact, I know while it is and I believe it to be the truck of the year.  I test drove them all, high and low end.   The ram drove the very best, had the room and was the most lux, next the GMC.

 

I got the 2018 Silverado because the deal was pretty dang good and it was loaded with all the things I wanted, but many of the the things that werre on the nice to have but not going to get...  I was really sad to sell my FJ, but it just about gave me this new truck.  Thank you FJ

Black marks?!

[Mw Michaelis]

I don't have any black marks on my boat. Where are they located at? can you post a picture of it?

[SeriousBlack]

maybe he means water stains?

We’re there the day I picked up boat have tried 5 different products and cannot get them to come off.only thing I can think it was from production or transport.looks like they are from black rubber or something.

Mine has the same, just not as bad. Confined to the orange pinstripes. I moved it this winter with the cover on, and just thought it was from the cover. I have only tried rubbing alcohol (I was putting the registration numbers on). It didn't take it off.

Which 5 did you use?  No sense suggesting them again.

 

 

[Mw Michaelis]

Dont know what you used on it but have you tried toon brite?

A friend of mine used this stuff called awesome on his boat cleaned all kinds of stuff off his. Don't know if it would clean that. I would think BPS would of taken care of that under warranty being that bad.

Have tried rubbing alcohol,starbrite instant black streak remover,flitz polish,and booyah non acid hull cleaner amogst other things

[Zigkx]

50/50 white vinegar and water is what I use on the entire boat. It’s taken everything I needed off the boat.

I had a such a great night out for crappie.  I have been working with my livescope for some time getting the hand of it and all, especially at night.  Below is just a short set of videos and pictures.  We were catching slab crappie the whole time.

I am waiting on my Classic to come in, should be around the end of June. I am thinking the only upgrades I am wanting to do is install a bigger gas tank and build an extension to the front deck, if anyone has a video of themselves doing that it would be awesome. I have been reading everything on here as well as watching all the videos of the Heritage and Classic I can find on youtube (Thanks Jaime and Mark). Just wanted to let y'all know that you guys are keeping me sane while I wait!! And keep the info flowing

The black marks I had came off with Turtle Wax polish and elbow grease.

So I don't know if it's me or what, but I've noticed some people tend to get a little close to my rear when I have to stop.  I ran across this prop cover a few weeks back from Prop Alert.  The small fits our props pretty well.

My son and I picked up our new Classic a couple of weeks ago and have not been able to get out to fish with it yet but we were able to get out with it for the 2 hour break in procedure. So far so good. I do have a question about the trolling motor......when the trolling motor is lifted up out of the water is it better to have the propeller facing inward inside the boat or outward or doesnt it make a difference? The reason I ask is that when the prop is inward it seems to naturally slide along the aft rubber padding with the risk of cutting the pad I can actually see a very faint line where its starting to do it.

[ratman]

I have mine inward with cover on prop when not on water.when Iam fishing I just leave it whatever way it comes up.Do have cut in pad from turning on accidentally while inward.

Yeah, mine is always inward for cover and now because of my livescope.  I too have a cut on pad, lol!

[YRUNVS]

I think I'm going to put down some sort of protectant on that area. I'll need to make it a habit to turn the motor off or unplug it when not in use.

That's pretty cool.  I've had people actually hit my prop in traffic or in a parking lot.  The props were stainless, so the damage was always to their vehicle.  This might prevent that difficult conversation afterward.
