My Boat

This is what most of the fishing will be done from.  It is my Skeeter SS 90 SP.  A 16 foot fiberglass boat with a 90hp Force by Mercury motor that will crank no matter what.  I have had this boat for 5 years or so and have never had a problem cranking it unless it was something stupid on my end! (I have left the kill switch on before and after days of trying to fix it my friend Brad said, "Hey man, have you checked your kill switch?" Of course that was the problem!)  This thing cranks in below freezing water or if it has set up for months at a time.  I have a 54lb thrust Motorguide trolling motor but sometime I would like a little more power up there, especially in open water.  I've put a Lowrance HDS5 at the console and a matching HDS5X up front.  Working on getting them linked and getting structure scan for them.  It's not the biggest boat but it is perfect for what I need.  I can get in smaller places and shallower places than people with larger boats and it is plenty fast for me (40-50mph) to get around to different holes I have in lakes.  One day I'll get a bigger boat maybe but for now this one is perfect.

HDS5X up front.  I got it because I didn't need the GPS and maps in this one since they are going to be linked together anyway.

HDS5 at the console.  I have this one mounted on a RAM mount to help with bouncing and vibrations when making runs.  It also get's it more eye level to easily see what's on the screen.

Just an introduction to my boat.  I'll have some more posts up soon.  Hope to get on the water Friday or Sunday if I get my boat out of the shop by then.  I had some electrical problems after my dog Tripp chewed on some wires!
