Something I didn't think about when buying my boat is how low the stern sits in the water, meaning whenever I come off plane water goes over the cowl.


That sounds like a negative situation.

I'd like a new 4 stroke on the back and maybe a trolling motor upgrade

Did both of these things (replaced Ficht with 200 Zuke) and added an iPilot during the Chyna virus downtime. Unless I could upgrade to a 25-29’ Cat, I really have the perfect boat for me. So, if I could change one thing, I’d figure out how to make the “dry” storage compartments truly dry.

1.Whole new depthfinder/fish finder system incl. an exterior transducer. Current one which came with the boat is inside hull mounted; sucks.

2. New wheel stand in the front.

I'll probably do both myself in the off-season (after football).

I'm the only person who can start it.
When I was a kid that's close to the way it was with my dad's lawn mower. Every time I cranked it and started mowing, it would throw the belt.

He always wanted me to have it done when he came in from work. I wanted to wait and start mowing at 6:30 or 7PM when it was cool. I couldn't keep the blade on it during the day time, but never had a problem with it when it was cooler. I acted like I couldn't get the belt back on.
I always laughed inside when he'd ask, "Don't you have any gumption?"

First choice would be to trade my 20’ Reno for a Ranger 2660. Second choice would be to replace the rotten wood in Reno to composite. Third choice is swap 115 opti for 140 zuk
