Nice boat!!! Good Luck... You got a name for her yet?

not sure yet ,I think the pearl,every boat I ever owned had the same name

[drome]

Go with it... I'm very superstitious and something about consistency would make me feel better!!

You dock her somewhere or just trailer?

[catfish hunter]

I live 2 blocks from the edison boat ramp so I trailer her down the hill and launch there its 55 bucks a year ,I wish I could afford the slip fees but not after this big nut ,plus I blew up my truck bringin her home  ,it is the pearl or white trash need one more week to decide

[catfish hunter]

thanks ,I am gonna go w/ it again

[drome]

If it means anything, my son loves pirates of the carribean and is especially fond of the black pearl

hi cat , iwas looking at your boat on here and you have the same rail like my boat ,  i would like to put a bow ele-moter on it i dont think it will work , i have on on my key west cc and it was handy

[ped579]

Nice real nice...Cat if I were you I would be sleeping on her tonight cold or no cold.  She is beautiful, Good Luck with the Pearl.   Argh

[catfish hunter]

wont work ,put one on the moter it is so nice my buddy has it ,perfect for trolling te channel edges

[rugman]

i had a 1730 keywest cc and put a foot controll on the bow and a high bunk seat it was like a bass boat , it was great for fishing the lakes. that boat did not have a rail . i have to take a look at it and see , there are some guys that take the rails off

[catfish hunter]

why do that when you can mount it to the moter and steer from the wheel

[rugman]

i like to set in the frount and cast

[ped579]

Hay Cat, have you noticed any extra drag with it mounted perminately so to speak and is there any increase in gas consumption?  I would assume that the unit is somewhat streamlined to cut down on that stuff.  I was juist wondering... 

[catfish hunter]

I dont have one yet on my moter but I am saving for it now ,my buddy has one on his and it is great for controling your drifts along the channel edges

[ped579]

Sounds like the logical choice for your application.  Will you be using the on board battery or hook up an external battery that can be chargred while you are running by switching batteries?  Hate like hell to run outa juice out there.

[catfish hunter]

gonna run its own battery to it w/ a onboard charger if I decide to do it

[ped579]

Sounds like a plan.  Good luck...

[catfish hunter]

thanks ,I am gonna see how the new boat handles first then see if I need it

[ped579]

I know with the price of gas you would want to run as slick as possible. Any obstruction protruding out there can cause enough drag to bring up the cost of every trip up.  Too bad they didn't make a model you could clamp on and off in other words, while running out its off the motor once out there just clamp it on and have fun.  Once finished you could take it off and run back in with out it on.

Or is that over kill?

What do you want from a beach bum...
