08 sea-pro 196cc

here's to the best day in boat ownership




Anyone got any suggestions for ff/gps combo? I'm thinking about picking up a Lowrance Elite 5 dsi, they are on amazon for $399.00 right now. Looking to keep the combo under $500.

Your next best day will be the day you sell it...


Nice boat, though!

Congrats on the purchase.


That's a great boat you got there. I essentially have the next size down (18') and love it.

My simple recommendation, get a good hand held GPS and a separate (and probably cheaper) fish finder.

If you want a combo, the new Garmins are pretty solid.

Like someone else said, hand-held GPS and seperate depth finder. There's no point in wiring up the big nasty dash units anymore

This trolling motor will work with your rail in place. I've had mine since my boat was new in 07. Been a bad arse trolling motor.
