i have the pod on and the motor is hung,cleaning it up and getting new captains chairs ,paint ,top, the electronics have to go in,bilge pumps and batteries alot to do yet.will be done in a couple of weeks.

speaking of fly fishing i have a story for you.went to Kamloops for a job and bought a cheap fly rod for i forgot to bring mine.went to Jacko lake in Kamloops area.was fishing my belly boat in the lake and got a snag ,i reeled it up slowly and a rod tip appeared.went over to it and pulled it up,happens to be a Sage fly rod and lamson reel with good slowsink,leader and fly.amazing set up.online it is over $1000.00 dollars.then i managed to pull a three pound rainbow out of the lake with very same rod.another to add to my collection.the most expensive set up i have now.however i do like my Fenwick.Ss out

congrats on the new boat and the new rod SS! Love to see a pic of the new ride?

i will post pics when the boat is done,it is going to be nice.i am about halfway there.i have seats and fuel tanks ordered,(captains chairs)that swivel.have electronics need one more deep cycle battery,got to hook everything up (wireing)bit of woodwork needed as well.SS out

Hey SS,

what did you go with for the seats? I need a pair of helm seats for my project but haven't decided what to go with?

i went with pedestal captains chairs,white ,nice and clean,not terribly expensive about 500 for a pair.you can spend thousands on seats.SS
