Summer Damage Control

[SethV]

All I need to do for 2011 is sell my Z21...it sure would save you guys that plan on fixing your boats a lot of trouble if you just hooked on to that Z21 and drove home!!

Seth are you getting a new boat or taking up golf?

Thanks for the offer on the guard McCarter but I gotta pass for now.  Its pretty much what I need.  Maybe a foot long but I could trim that.  Maybe in a couple of weeks if you still have it.

What winter? Hopefully I'll be fishing all year down south here. Work has had me on the road too much this year to do too much damage so my list is more of a wish-list than a need-list.
1. 798 si up front with Interlink
2. Some type of keel guard
3. Replace 2 bank charger with a 3 bank
4. Figure out a better way to organize tackle, it won't all fit in the boat. (need a bigger boat?)
5. Really clean and wax boat.
6. Build a bracket to mount my spare prop in the bilge area so that it frees up more space for tackle. 
7. Catch 10# bass.

We need something here in the Muskegon/Grand Rapids area.  I tried convincing the owner of Al and Bob's to build a store here in Muskegon.  I am not fond of gander Mountain in the least bit.  Dick's isn't that great either.  I did, however add another job to my to do list.  I have to fix the trailer plug on my truck.  If the lights are on on the truck and i hit the brakes, the trailer lights go out.  The bracket is loose, so it's not grounded to the body at all.

Chris:

I don't have a spare prop, but, I really like how Ranger designed prop storage into my 185.

definitley a ground problem. also check that a solid ground is being made between the tongue of the trailer and hitch receiver. on my old truck i could turn the hitch pin and make the lights go on and off lol. a wire brush on a drill will fix it.

I might be able to get some things done, if I wasnt a just a lazy pos this time of year.  I must stay focused.

So here we are again.  Putting the boats away thinking about next season.  I have a BIG list of things to do.  Most of wich is upgrading my gear.  I really noticed the difference in quallity gear vs. cheaper gear. And I think I'm going to have to get my wallet out.   Wondering what everyone elses list looks like.

Things I need to do or just get.

Keel Guard
New Bank charger
A coupld of Rods and Reels
Restock baits
A good set of rain gear
Trailer lights
uggg it goes on and on.

I have everything done but install the keelguard and purchase some LED lights.  Another week and I might actually be ready to go. WOOHOO

[Redbone]

I forgot about the bank charger. I'm thinking Ill just use my home charger again.  At least until I find a good deal on one.


*FYI- Dont mind me. I'm talking to myself. Posting so I dont forget.
