Location: Davenport, IA | I have had way too much fun customizing my boats. I think I will have to do the LED's this year. The camera mount would be great too. Some great things I've done in order of importance:
1. Trolling motor pedal recess: If you have cable steering this is a must. You will feel so much better after a day of fishing. Before I would have pain in my legs or back if I used a buttseat. Now I never use a buttseat and have no leg pain because weight is evenly distributed to my legs.
2. Deck extension: My boat came with no storage other than 2 small compartments on the rear deck and one in front. I can store a few 3730's in my extension or almost all my bass boxes.
3. Trolling motor setup. My boat came with 8 gauge wiring and a 40 amp breaker. I have 2 gauge and a 60 amp breaker now. I use automotive terminals on the batteries to assure I never have to tighten a nut.
3. LED tail lights. No more replacing bulbs and they are very bright for safety reasons.
4. Livewell upgrades. I mostly use my livewells for suckers/minnows but my boat came with no recirculating pumps. Also the original hose was breaking down and had something in it. The water was turning back and fish were dying within minutes. I used clear tubing for replacement. I added 2 pumps and a timer. If I did more tournament fishing or fishing for food I would definitely add pump-out.
