polarized sunglasses

I have 3 pairs of Maui Jim Hookipa's...all different lens colors. They aren't exactly $100, but you can get them for around $125-$135 if you look. They are great...great lenses/clarity, light weight, and they're pretty sharp looking, too! wink

Yup. Picked up some Half Jackets with 3 sets of lenses (frames and one set of lenses are right around the century mark, with more sets of lenses and a hard case it's closer to two bills).

Orange lenses are my fav, help bring out contours on the golf course, and helps in low light conditions, and still effectively cuts the glare and lets ya see what all is under the water.

Bought my first pare of spendy shades in High school, since then, i've replaced them once (That's an avg of 10 years or so a pair).

The vr28 black iridium polarized are the shiznit, especially in the winter. They take just enough of the light away and the rose tint makes definition in snow amazing. Its really tough to explain what they actually do to someone who hasent looked through them but they come pretty close on their HSOforum to show what it does. Pretty cool how much more you can see with them on.

    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
