23.5k installed for a 250 SHO at Cajun outdoors in 2024. The service wasn't the best. its was like they didnt care about the sale. They did acknowledge the shitty service and replaced my leaking hydraulic steering seals for free.

No it would create a whole bunch of other problems such as filling in the Atchafalya basin. In the 1990's I went with members of USACE to to speak with some of the locals about these concerns. Old timers showed me massive islands in the basin that didn't exist until the control structure was built.

Eventually Morgan City and other towns along the Atchafalaya would cease to exist since they would become part of the river's path as the river slows down and widens as it builds a delta at the Gulf of America.

Then you have the other problems associated with the current path of the becoming a saltwater from the Gulf to BR.

These issues would make our current sinking of coastal wetlands seem like child's play.


No plan is perfect, I'm just stating that it would help coastal erosion. This could possibly be the only fix for LA not washing away.

Its like you dont even care about the Point-au-chene Chitimacha indians who;s land is currently sinking and eroding away.

J/K Im just tired of my fishing spots and barrier island washing away.

Beautiful boat. Came close to pulling the trigger on one a while back.

That boat must be a rocket.

I’m loving it.
It definitely a fishing boat with no creature comforts. I had the 2200v before this and the 2300 rides way better. Tons of storage so I’m sure the 26 would be exceptional.

The true stepped hull keeps the ride super flat and nose down which is a nice change from using tabs all the time.

Also, the motor is on a bracket off the back of the boat which opens up the back deck. No transom well.

Where are you in Texas? I drove to Beaumont to get this one. Peterson marine I think was the name.

Thanks for the help…looks like the replacement solenoid was the issue


I had this issue, thought it was the battery, brought battery to store to get another one, got it tested, said the battery was good still. Bought a new solenoid, installed, still didnt work. Bought a new battery and it started.....

Glad you figured it out.
Up on the first day of the month with no news.. watch out guys!!!
ensure your garage doors will be tall enough for future Toys, RV, Boat with T-top etc..
Nope, haven’t had any issues. I’ve heard of some bowfishing guys get kicked out, but not day time fishing

I have a 14 year old 22 foot Sun Tracker and it has been a good boat but I am thinking about getting a new boat. Veranda pontoon boats look nicer and fancier than Sun Tracker and they are not "Bass Pro boats." However, they also cost a lot more money. FWIW right now it will mostly be my dogs, my girlfriend, and myself who will be using it and occasionally some friends. Is a Veranda worth the extra money?


IF the motor is in good shape, Maybe redo the floor, seats etc, buff the pontoons.
I have a 2021 2.7 f-150

Good on gas and plenty enough power to tow. If you don’t care about money , get the V8 or 3.5, but if you’re on a budget like I am, the 2.7 is the way to go.

I tow a 2300 pathfinder (5000# with trailer and fuel) every other week with no issues.

Are you significantly upgrading your home? Or is it weighted in higher mortgage interest?


Going from my Bachelor pad to building a custom home. Plus loosing my 3.5% interest rate. But what the wife wants the wife gets.

Anybody been lately?

Fished catfish lake area last Friday. Lots of perfect slots in shallow clean water. Probably caught 15 or so on a solo trip. They were all super hungry.

Good luck!

Committing is easy, but nothing will happen until there is a PO in someone's inbox. No IFC package, no long lead items ordered etc. Thats what we need.
