Mine weren't - I can speak for your boat - but I thought it would be a bigger hassle than it turned out to be when I replaced mine last summer. Good luck.

Figure out what kind of connector you have on your blades (for example mine are 5mm bayonet) and then just go to any autoparts store and buy a 14" blade with that connector.

Could be a little rough on Sunday...

I'm not surprised - I have noticed similar issues with the Navionics App for ice fishing. I have a garmin on my boat and it doesn't seem much better. I honestly think there is probably a lot of estimating and interpolation.

My guess is this - I am sure they don't survey every square foot of the lake - I would bet that there is a lot of interpolation that goes on between contour lines vice real hard measurement which can lend itself to some inaccuracies. In addition, differences between seasonal water levels, transducer mounting locations and angles and all other variable essentially render a true apples to apples comparison nearly meaningless. No different than two people standing next to one another each with a wrist watch - which one is correct?

The problem with listing under one heading is that now users are forced to look at each person's post with several items - it makes it very hard to scroll through listings to see what's available at a glance by using the subject line of the post as a filter.

If you want something that will sleep 4 comfortably - will need to look larger than 25'. We have a Tiara 3300 that will sleep 4 and is a great fishing boat. In your price range for a bigger boat you will probably be looking at something older and will need to figure in maintenance costs.

Meguire's cutting compound (Mirror glaze I think it was called, but not the most aggressive polish) followed by a good wax. Will remove oxidation and water stains.

Was 10 degrees at my place last night about 25 miles inland of Lake O - I hope no one had any issues!

Most boats I've seen are running size 1s

That makes sense. Probably some upper value threshold that once crossed then they require a survey...

I don't know but feel your pain. I had my new boat surveyed last January - it surveyed in above average condition (the surveyor was completely anal) and he told me it may have been worthy of an upgrade even beyond that, but there were a few minor findings. GFCIs weren't operable, new fuel lines needed as the ones on the boat were original, wingnuts not permitted on batteries, and ground tackle was missing. Based on that I was able to get a policy once I showed and provided photographic evidence that I had fixed the issues. Both BoatUS and CharterLakes wanted a full C&V survey completed prior to initiating coverage. My guess is that's what you are going to run into unfortunately...

Seeing lots of great looking brown trout being caught and showing up in my facebook feed - unfortunately from the pictures being posted looks like almost zero compliance with NY's cold water PFD law. I know it's not the most popular law - but surprised at how little compliance I see. Just making a statement - not trying to start a pi$$ing match or anything - just an observation.

The F200 is a "weak" 200 by most accounts, as I think technically it outputs like 187 HP or something - but that being said the fishmaster is plenty light. I got good performance out of mine. 3 batteries up front could hurt it some but you should still be able to get it up on plane. I don't own the boat anymore but another member on here does.
