NymphO

90hp Honda. 36ish. More than enough to get me where I need to go, as fast as I want to go.

I just did my transom on my 89 before dropping a newer 4 stroke on there. If it needs floors, it prob needs a transom. Don't even plan on putting a new motor on till transom is done! It will give you a real piece of mind.

Oh yea, and don't plan on finding a boat without issues..... Just look for something that's least likely to have them !

I love my nymph. It's my first big water boat so I'm definitely biased. I found mine cheap(ish) but re did the entire interior. Only bought a few things new and the rest I searched for deals on used stuff, which most came from here. I have it dialed in to how I like it and she fishes like a dream. High sides is a must at this point in my life since I'm typically taking my 5yr old and 3yr old out. It will handle the snot if your always minding boat control. I've been out (without the kids) in 3-4's and trolled with em and she did fine. I've fished out of a FM, an STX, and a 21' alumacraft recently. They are all great boats. My fishing partner has a Starfire that just seems to fish well in any condition. As others have said, there's some bullet proof hulls that are older, pair them with a newer motor and you are styling. Find the right deal and you won't lose if you decide it's not right for you in a few years. Stick with a name brand and a boat that's dry and you will be good ! Buy good gear and transfer to next boat, or realise you want new gear too and sell a fully rigged boat. Last piece of advice, don't ask what's "the best" cause only you can answer that !

Any option for "this unit" or "global" in source settings ? If so, "this unit" is what ya need.

Slammer ! Nice catch !!

I want in on this.... My opinion is you should have bought a Honda four stroke. Who needs a probe when you have a great outboard !!??

Looking for a pair of big Jon swivel bases. I believe there is a few other manufacturers that make bases with same bolt pattern for the 4"x4" or universal. Trying to not invest a ton in this project. Lower profile preferred. Let me know what ya got ! Thanks !!!

I disagree. I've met a few, and was boarded as well. Guys were good to go. Had an old extinguisher and a missing label on my throwable. Wrote me a warning and let me go.

Dingleberries.... A fantastic name for a fantastic spoon. I had to buy a few as well. Great guys, spoons def catch fish !

Right on. I have a shelf system around my boat that I can easily move it to the shady side. I also have a uv blocker screen protector on my "to get list" but most of the time on the back works just fine.

That's honesty right there. Good to know it still exists even in competition !

If your elite ti has wireless, just buy a tablet !!! I have an HDS carbon with wireless and I bout a 11" tablet off Craigslist and it links through the lowrance wifi. I paid 50$ and have the ability to remotely control my front graph, in all aspects. Look into that before you drop the money !

Nice catch !!

FYI. These are 303d's

Love that for spring and fall. Nice stealthy presentation.
