You should get the following tools for your boat: Clamps, Saws, Drills, Marking and measuring tool, Hammers and mallets, Chisels, Screwdriver, Sharpening
My lund 1775 pro v came with the correct cover, I have the single console, you have to remove the windshield for traveling, but it has extra cloth in the area the windshield is, actually all the way across to cover a dual console boat.
Ask for a maintenance history on the boat. Find out what major repairs have been made to the boat. If a lot of work has been done to the boat, chances are there will be lots to come, which translates into dollars.
Position the shaft as close to the center line of the boat as possible. If the shaft and propeller are off-center, you may encounter drifting and steering issues when using your trolling motor.
I run 30 hp etec even I plan to do a lot of trolling. The crouch formula gives me a top speed of 20-24, depending on load, which is fine by me. i like to cruise around 12-15 to take in the view and the boat planes easily at that speed.
