    Sharing for a friend, see link below for details: Six machined aluminum plates for LUND boats & others with (vertical, 90 degree 90*) Sport Tracks. Two are new, 2 had bases installed with 2 3/8" holes, and 2 with 3 1/4" holes. All four with pre-drilled holes can be re-drilled by positioning your base to miss them - this will not compromise the integrity of the plate. The plates are 3/16" machined aluminum - solid, no flex at all. I have pics that show that once installed, you have approx. 1" of clearance between the bottom of the plate and the gunnel (top) of your boat. I used stainless 3/4" nuts/washers to secure my bases. I also stuck on some clear "bumpers" on those I was using, just to be sure that they didn't touch my gunnel when installing or removing. There is approximately a 4.5 X 5,5 inch area of the plate that is suitable for positioning bases. Once clamped into the sport track these babies do not move at all. Brand new from LUND these cost between $65-$75. I will sell them for $40 each, and if you want all six, $225 for them all. Super easy to install - place the plate in the track, position the locking plate and slide it into place ... tighten the screws. Shipping will be a flat $20, or, you can pick them up in Fishers Landing, NY if you are close. Thanks for looking, good fishing!

    I have a Starcraft Titan with a similar dash configuration - I mounted my Helix 8 (same size head unit as Helix 9) on the dash above the cupholder with a 2" Ram Mount (6" arm, I believe). Would recommend.

    Brewer's Sporting Goods is about 10 minutes from Dean's - they should have everything you would need.

    That's correct. "⊲ each line is limited to not more than 5 lures or baits or a combination of both."

    I agree with Tall Tails - I've had better luck with sabikis during the day than under lights. Get the smallest ones you can find (Bass pro shops #3s work well)

    This time of year they will come right into lights on shore

    Another overlooked benefit to using your bow-fan as steering while trolling is how much more responsive the boat is to making quick adjustments. While fishing the steep ledges of the FLX you get get yourself out of trouble in a hurry if you find a ledge that's not well-marked on your chart. I've got a 72" Terrova on my 18' Starcraft, and haven't had many issues with the motor breaking the surface in a steep chop.

    No ice in the inlet. May be launchable, depending on your rig.

    You could also run your rods out of a track on your gunwale.

    I run an 18.5 Starcraft with full glass - I usually have about 18" of clearance under the bridge, if that helps.
