I've had a nice Bieffe for the last 8 years that works great. You can convert it from the full face shield to the motorcross style with visor in less than 2 minutes. I usually just run the motorcross style all year long though.

Check out Gander also. I just picked up a couple of Raider Modular helmets. They were 30% off through today. I have the same problem with glasses fogging. These have vents on them you can open that helps with that. (Chin and Forehead.)

I would recommend that you look toward an HJC CX-2 or similar style open face helmet. You can cut out a small square in the sides of the foam ring in some goggles for your glasses. Personally, I spend more money on a helmet because higher-priced models like the HJC ACX2 are about half the weight and have adjustable vents. Lightweight means you can ride longer without a sore neck, and more vents mean less overheating and fogging. I found my helmet on hsolist and saved over $150. I would be concerned about buying a scratch and dent helmet from denniskirk, helmets are made for one hard impact only and they should be inspected or replaced after a crash. I did see that fleet farm had some decent looking helmets for under $100.

    • 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?
