This is " Hooked On U " a 1996 285 Baha Fisherman, twin 5.8 L MPIs. with 845 hrs.
It has hydraulic steering, a Simrad AP24, Garmin 4208 GPS, Two Fish finders, a Furuno
and a Raytheon (one thru hull transducer and one Transom mount that has side finder),
Furuno Radar 24 mi. and a Fish Hawk X4 speed and Temp, and 5 down riggers.
It also has a Load Rite Triple axel trailer.
I still have the original rudders. I understand that the larger rudders
help in how the boat handles. I have a friend who just put the larger
rudders on his boat. He likes how his boat responds with them.
I have a 285 Fisherman. I had Hydraulic steering installed and a Simrad AP24 . I had the AP 24 talk to the fish finder for bottom tracking and the Garmin GPS for routes and position of course. The unit will practically park the boot in the slip.I love it.
90% of the time, it is only the wife and I fishing. It will be nice to try other set ups, that the three rod rule will allow.
Looking forward to this coming season.
I had a AP24 installed two years ago in my Baha 285 Fisherman and have never looked back. It needs to be interfaced with your GPS and Fish Finder to fuly appreiate all that it offers. You'll love it.
Reese,
I converted my Baha from cable steer to Hydraulic steering two years ago and its the best thing I ever did. I also add a Simrad AP 24. Clint did a real nice job.
