VF, nice job on the finish. You have a sharp rig there! I'm interested in what you used and the process you went through. My Hydra-Sports needs the same treatment....bad. If you feel like sharing your notes, I'd be most grateful.
I too like to add stuff to my boat every year. I've thought about a new motor but haven't pulled the trigger on that yet. I have a a 96 Johnson 175 which runs very good but is very bad on gas. The main reason to change is to go to a direct inject and get more miles on a tankful and of course the general increased reliability that goes with a newer engine.
Some of the add ons I've made to my HS include:
-electric downriggers
-beamer spotlight
-6 rod holders (2 clamp on, 2 gunwhale mount, and 2 hardtop)
-anti-skip stereo CD
-Fuel flow gauge (what a job that was)
-custom splash board
Always looking for more ideas. What else have you done to your boat that you really like?
You're welcome to take a trip on my HS some day this summer if you'd like to check it out. I'll be on sebatical the entire months of August and September and fishing as many days as the weather allows.
Tight lines!
