I have yet to purchase a lower unit for the one my buddy (fireman) smacked last fall when he borrowed my boat... I may take the cake for the most expensive "must have" to get back in the water, darned friends..... lol

P.S. fireman, if you read this the bill will be on the way...

[waskawood]

A 90 hp E-Tech. I hope I don't live to regret it. Have a great season everyone.

[Hooked On a Feeling]

waskawood...

Keep us updated on how you like your new e-tec, I'm in the market for a new motor, really don't want to go 4-stroke for couple reason's, 2 stroke for this fisherman. I believe the new 2 stroke technology may overtake 4 stroke rage sooner than we think. Thanks.

[The Chemist]

Aquired a 16ft lund from my father in law. Let's just say the price was right and considering it has live well, trolling motor. Boat just needs to stay in the family.

Gonna pick up a bait caster for running cranks.

Got both boys, a rod and reel.

Also got to find a vertical rod storage rack for in the boat.

[hoggs222]

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD FISHING!!!

[dfv87]

Planer boards and 7' trolling rods with counters. Gonna try some open water techs this year!

[Farley]

I got a Abu Garcia 5600 with a gift certificate. Bought a $20 Pinnacle UL for panfishing (already has about 150+ sunnies under it's belt after 3 days fishing). Other than that just 2 dozen angle worms and a 30 pack of Schmidts. I'll probably buy more gear the closer opener gets. I need a pole to match that Abu, also would like to pick up a new G Loomis and reel before opener...Come on tax return!
