    Nice rig! This is one of the boats on my short list for next year. what did you go for graphs? What did you put on for bow Trolling motor? Did you do the rigging yourself or have the dealer do it? Let me know how the rock guard tows.

    Thanks! Put 2 959’s DI at the consul. New Minnkota Terrova with 80lbs with improved spot lock linked to a 1198 SI up front. Did all the rigging myself. I have had the same rock guards on previous boats, they tow great and keep the stones away.

    Very nice boat! I like the all black look. Just curious what you are running for batteries with 2 big screen graphs and 2 trolling motors? I’ve always been curious about the battery set up on boats with 2 trolling motors. I’m guessing they both run off the same set of batteries? If thats the case, can you use both trolling motors at the same time or is that too much power draw?

    I have an Optima blue top for starting and graphs and 2 seperate group 31’s for the 24 volt trolling system. I rarely if ever have both trolling motors running at the same time

    It was the stock ladder that came with the boat from Alumacraft

    What is that strap system to stabilize your bow mount? Looks interesting…

    Just a velcro strap! Used the same set up on my last rig, works great and is simple to use. Its amazing how little movement you get just by taking away the upward motion of the bounce on the motor
