Thanks, I’m pretty excited about it. I kept the kicker and bow mount off the old boat. I’ll get myself a new fishfinder sometime this week probably and I’ve got my eyes open for a couple electric cannons at the moment. I figured if I’m going all in on a boat I might as well spend the extra grand on the downriggers now rather than in a year. Manual ones are ok but get old after awhile

Electric downriggers are the way to go. Only have used mine a few times koke fishing. No regrets spending the extra money on them. Now after a few trips I’m thinking my terrova iplot might need a kicker for a friend. Still a little early to tell. But it looks like something in my future.
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

Nice looking boat.  I have the same trailer, they must be getting popular.

The new Mercs are amazing, the reliability, power and efficiency are so far beyond what I expected.

Keep an eye on used riggers, lots of guys want the latest and greatest and good condition riggers are easy to fix and maintain and are well worth the investment.

I snagged a couple of new Cannon’s on amazon last night actually for a good price. We’ve started using the downriggers more the last couple years fishing salmon and over on CDA, plus I want to start fishing Pend Oreille since I’m so close. Fishing deep sucks with manuals!
