Nice.... Good luck with her....

That bench seat is the ballz. Does it clip into the original plates in the deck?

Willy nice boat! Have fun decking her out. Be careful of the Nortin Snaggers you use. Billy Mac

Thanks Mac, no Norton Snaggers on her, going to do it right.

Well a couple of updates, I am the new renter of a rack storage spot at Twin Lights Marina, right on the entrance to Raritan Bay across from Sandy Hook, he is charging me 1500 for the balance of the season, which for you southern gents is a good price in this area for the best prime location and a rack setup.

And I just ordered my gps/sonar it is a Lowrance LCX-28C HD, seven inch screen and 30gig hard drive and the HD means it is pre-loaded with all the Navionics Gold charts. Plus inland lakes though she won't be seeing them with the G Spot here.
Should arrive on Monday, maybe tuesday. Hopefully the install goes without hitch and I can bring the boat down on tuesday afternoon. Picking up all the tune up stuff for the engine tommorow and will have her ready by monday.

I have decided to hold off on the hard top for now. I want one but I got a functional three sided enclosure/bimini now and cannot justify spending the money until I need to. Going to hold off on the rod boxes now too, unless something extraordinary shows up, going to make that and a few other things a winter project.
I do need to put in some gunwhale rod holders though and will be looking for them right away.
Don't want to do much right now but feel that V hull under me out on the Hook and fishing thru the Shrewsbury Rocks. She is sweet and she deserves to be fished for the first time in her life and I am just the guy to git her done.

Willy, with the Lowrance unit I highly suggest you invest in the EP-60R fuel flow sensor. For $50 (currently at Cabela's) you will get gallons per hour and miles per gallon when networked to the new unit. You can display this right on the new unit or get a digital gauge (LMF-200 or LMF-400) but for the money the gauge is not really needed. You can display all you need right on the LCX-28C without the standalone gauge. I have the EP-60R with an adaptor connected to the GPS that came with Old School (Lowrance) and I love it. The install is a breeze and connected to the gps you will get mpg in addition to gph. You can't beat it for the price!
