Just to have had a boat at 18-20 would have been nice, My 1st boat did not come until I was 21, 12 footer sea king no motor. Now after 7 boats I am very happy with my 1994 Pro-Craft 1890, one of only 2 walleye boats pro craft ever made, Had it since 1995 and bought it from a pro walleye guy for 1/2 price

Post Frontal I have seen you out on Tonka, actually late last fall on the West End just south of Hardscrabble. You and a guy were working a drift throwing double tens. My buddy and I were in his White Starcraft. Can't forget your boat, I noticed you kept it under the speed limit of 40 out there also wink he he he. That has to be about half throttle.

We've got her up to the upper 70's. They had one in Florida where they build them with two 200's on it that went 120 mph. Pretty cool. But the best thing is that with the catamarans it is really stable and it skips across the top of rollers. So when you would normally be getting beat up in a V haul, we can usually get her on top of the waves barring the occasional rogue wave.

Todd, very nice looking rig--a good bit prettier than your old Triton. Did your old rig stay in the area? I'm still looking at wheel boats and the Allure is a beauty. If our paths cross at Rocky I would sure like to check it out--if you have an open seat in trolling time, i'm around most weekdays.

Take care.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • 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.
