    Hello this is Ken Patterson I believe I was the first person to look at your boat. Last fall at the campground. I was wondering what all is going with the boat as I am interested.  I know it had an autopilot on it but I’m not sure that was included?  It also had a vision system on it and I’m certain that isn’t included.  Please respond as I’m hoping to purchase by the middle of march.  For spring fishing. 

    Oak Orchard 5/28 starting point.

    Yea on the way out in about 120FOW or so I hit something with my prop at speed. Stopped the motor dead it it’s tracks. The motor wouldn’t start back up. Dropped the kicker and trolled back in. Caught 4 dinks. Tried starting the main several times, finely caught and sounded like a dryer full of ball bearings.  Oil pressure was 20 lbs. (was 55 at speed and idles at 40 or better usually) got to the dock and trimmed up the out drive the prop is trashed. Must have hit something??  Taking it to the marina this Saturday. Hoping for good news.

    I think I’m going to run 1 300 copper line off the big boards on each side, a wire diver on each side and 2 rigger rods one with a slider.

    If I have enough help on the boat, maybe add another pair of wire divers but, the more I think about it, 6 is enough!

    For late July trip, im thinking my initial setup will be:

    Rigger 1: 11” pro troll paddle with atomik Twinkie meat rig

    Rigger 2: moonshine mag spoon with smaller spoon on a slider above

    Wire Diver 1: 8 inch spin doctor with fly

    Wire Diver 2: 8 inch spin doctor or 8 inch protroll with meat head

    300’copper 1: mag spoon

    300 copper 2: 8 inch flasher with meat head

    Do you guys prefer to run the meat heads naked behind the flasher on wire/copper or the setup with twinkie flies in front

    I always run a flasher with my meat rigs.

    If your running copper off your boards I would not recommend running 2 per side.  copper moves differently  in the water than lead or other lines. you'll likely end up with a big tangle on your first turn. and if by chance you don't, you will when a king grabs the port copper and heads to the starboard side. I only run 1 copper off a board at a time.
