what dont you like about your boat

[thefishingfreak]

That I need 2 shore power cords.
One for the A/C itself and one for the breaker panel.
I would like 1 cord.
other than that it's pretty good

Fishing freak do you need 2 separate outlets to plug into our do you use a splitter? Is that a wellcraft sportsman 250? If so what year is it? There is one moored near me in Falmouth that always catches my eye the seem like a well appointed boat for the age

Thanks for the post

I have a 18' 1977 jon Dory yellow tail ... when i first got the boat in 1980.. i hated the color... bright yellow... I painted it sand tone brown....my biggest hate was the transom... put two people in the stern and it would ship water on occasion over the stern with the right conditions.. hell alone in a "salmon chop" it would constant ship water... so when I repowered, i raised the transome 5 " and put an XL shaft motor.. best move I could have made... I tried an assortment of fuel tanks...bow tanks,under console.. above deck etc.... when I replaced the floor a few years back... i put in a 37 gallon belly tank...the boat never had seats...just a 40 gallon bait well behind the console... a year ago i tore my MCL while ice fishing.. last summer standing half the night 4 nights a week after standing on conctete floors for 9 hours a day made it swell to the size of a softball each night.. this spring I put in a leaning post... best thing i ever did.....it's taken 33 years of constant changes and upgrades... i probably could of bought a pretty nice boat for what I've spent.. the saving grace, I've done all my own work ( I was a certified merc mechanic for 20 years)... this spring i dumped another $4700 into misc items( including the leaning post and newKodoak bait well) to finish making her my own.. and I've never loved her more... my son will inherit a top notch inshore fishing boat when I croak!

I wish it were 3 feet longer

11 ft. is a bit short
