Are you still happy with your turtle box? Thinking of getting one for my husband for Father’s Day.

Some sort of material which will keep you and the water more or less separated most of the time is a minimum.....

My son has two of them. The Original 2nd gen and a Ranger.
Ne's planning on selling the Gen 2 and buying a gen 3. That way he can connect the two speakers.
He loves them though. I may buy the gen 2 from him just to have. I can connect my coyote call to it and it's quite a bit louder than just the call.

Not an acc but a must have - Black streak remover/marine polish. Them scuffs dont wash off fiberglass.

Lastly, the light requirements on boats are simply not enough at night. I had one real close call because myself and a fellow boater couldn't see each other until we were basically right on top of each other. I was able to yank the wheel at the last minute to avoid collision, but if you're boating at night, get a good spotlight to run in addition to the required nautical lights.
Please explain how three lights at night can’t be seen, all nav lights must be visible for one mile. Someone wasn’t paying attention.
OP take a boaters course and learn the “rules of the road”.

Throw cushion, life jackets, fire extinguisher, jumper cables and perhaps a lithium jump battery.

Yes. Actually have two now. One that attaches to a ram mount on the bow, near my trolling motor and one under the back open deck plate. They sound great and loud synced up.
