I don't know if anyone has read the book or watched the video on "The Secret", but in there it has a segment on making a wish list and picture board of everything you WANT to have. Soooo, I fish (hard and soft water), hunt (not much though), and living in northern minnesota, I like to take advantage of everything that is here.
Where I need help is the expected costs. I want to put everything together and have this...number in my head to shoot for when everything is added up. My wife and I are not made of money, but I've always been a good saver when I really want something!
-Boat (brand new 19' Lund)
-Fishhouse (if this is my dream...snobear, so might as well dream snobear)
-ATV
-Snowmobile (2)
-Pickup (I have a good pickup now, but I want to keep what I have now for utility purposes, I guess if this is a wishlist right?)
-workshop/storage building (this is the biggest one! My wife and I will be buying land to build in the next 10-15 years)
I know what your thinking...but all I have is bits and pieces of experience with snowmobiles and ATVs since all I've ever done is borrowed from family. Ideally, everything would work together for functioning purposes. Thanks for any help, and dream on right? Sometimes that's all a man can do!
I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought.
Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just
buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
Congrats on the motor! I think you’ll like it.
I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers. 160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.
Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor. Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to
get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius)
says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
