Rodmaker, sweet tiller. Love the white, looks like you could keep cool in that on the hottest of days. I think I see your strategy now; withhold photos and build suspense for months to steal the BassCat thunder. Sweet rigs guys.

It just took a long time for things to come together. I got the boat late June. I went through 3 different trolling motors (damaged while being shipped). Finally made up my mind on electronics. Believe me, it would have been nice to do this weeks ago. But after using it Sat. It was worth the wait. Thinking about going back up there Sat.

Boy... did I pull a big double take on this photo.

My first thought was you do not see many tillers with the electronics storage console on that side of the boat. Cool!

Took a couple minutes to put the pieces together but realized the image was mirrored.

Nice Boat!!

Thanks. I was beginning to wonder if I would have to wait another year. Just a tip to anyone looking for a glass tiller or console, either YarCraft, Warrior, get ahold of the Plant Managers. I had great help from them both trying to locate boats for me.

Alot of the "cleaner" boats like this one don't "Officially" make to for sale status. They (YarCraft) knew of someone that was considering trading for a new boat. They gave them my # and we discussed things and I ended up meeting him down at the boat show.

Got the ok from Marine Man (thanks) to post the names of Plant Managers.

YarCraft - Dean Nathe

Warrior - ask for Jeff (not sure if he was Plant Mgr. but that was my contact at Warrior.

They both did alot of looking and answered any questions I had

Mark,

It's nice to finally see your rig. I hope I answered some of your questions along the way. I would second what was said about getting a hold of plant managers or pro-staffers, they know who is getting a new boat and who is selling. I know there was 3 or 4 other guys interested in this boat if rodmaker didn't take it.

Good luck with the new rig!

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • 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.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • 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.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
