to be honest, the electronics on this thing suck, and so does the trolling motor. The trolling motor is only a 40lb thrust and the previous owner lost the front fish finder head unit. Im going to put a 60lb thrust trolling motor up front and wire in a new head unit.

Other then that, the boat is in great condition. I gotta put a keel guard on it, and a windshield but other then that its just changing things to the way I want it. Going out on ballston tomorrow with it for the first time.

I know I was saying I was going to get a newer Triton tr-20 but I decided to do the smart thing and start out with a good boat, and put money into the savings instead of spending all my money on a insane boat. This boat will ge great for this year. I will upgrade next year possibly.
