I'm happy with my boat for the most part, but the longer I have had it, the more little nice to have things keep popping up.
For starters I need a forth seat, 2001 style grey interior. If I can't find a matching seat, I'm thinking about a captain's chair for me.
Then there's the poor passengers in my boat when it's late November and the wind is blowing, waves crashing, making life miserable for my guest. I'm thinking there's got to be a way to get a second console for this boat.
Also, I've got a Mercury 115 2-stroke that has been very good to me over the last eight years. My only complaint is that it doesn't troll down great. I'd like to troll down to around 2 mph if possible. I'm thinking it's time to try a different prop, maybe something that will give me both top end speed and lower trolling speeds.
I really don't want to have to get a kicker, since I'm not a serious troller. I really only do it a few times a year exclusively. Just hoping somebody else has played with different props on their rig and could share the results.
