Thx Rod....I really like the fishable space! Plus with the Traxstech systems i can play and move stuff around till i get it how i want it! Looking forward to getting some more time on it!

sean, here is how i set it up (a touch too tall yet for the kids to use, this is my 2.5year old working a small coho for her first fish) i went with a 12" track- 4.5" swivel mount with 18"track on top and three rod holders and stacked a single in the bottom track Have you seen the new Traxstech rod holders (Vector Originally) they've touched em up and free float mode for Dipsies! real nice!

Thanks Sean, The only thing with the cabin is seems to be alot of wasted space... after this season and getting to fish with it i'm sure i will have some modifications to add! Thanks for the info

Thanks guys! The only opportunity to open her up i had 4 guys and about 150 something gallons and had her on plan and doing 35mph in seconds it planes almost immediately and crusies i'm guessing about 28mph i figure with less gas and less people its an easy 40mph boat No plans to add a table of any sort...but Sean that drawer system is nice! much better look than the second steering station i've seen (have you see nthe tower that can be added)? I'm actually going to remove a pedestal seat in the cabin and go with a bench style seat and custom tackle drawers inside the cabin i think where you have the drawer system i will add a seat or two and will incoporate a small Bimini Top (retractable) for the rainy - Hot Sunny days for people on the deck and add the Traxstech Biminim access. for it Sean, That is a real nice set up you have!!! I heard about the engine!!! Got me nervous, this is a 2005 and only has 70 Hours total - on a 250 Yamaha I would like the guys number if you have it handy- that would be great as you can see in this picture i don't have any room uder the helm...this is the 2520XL Cabin - i like the more open like yours but will sufice for now I did something similar as you with your cutting board.....except in the center of the Live well i went with a Traxstech Swivel base and track and rod holders to run my center THumper rod or Dipsies Will put up some pictures of inside rigged after the weekend

Thanks guys did alot of traveling and searching, this is not what i expected to end up with but with time i think it will be perfect...the deck space is awesome in the back and running 9 rods saturday almost seemed to easy.... Just need to get used to it and things will come together very nicely That's the problem haven't waxed it yet!!!

very good condition - practically new White - Hi/Low range w/ mounting bracket $65 - shipped

NICE JOB RICHARD - WAY TO GIVE IT BACK AT HIM!!!

traxstech all way round quick to install - rugged - and it can set that boat up any way you want.....gimbal rigger mount, raised tracks (trolling bar), etc. especially with their bird trees you can run a 6 inch track mid way and run 6 to 8 rods off them and they double as storage when running top quality equipment they also have purchased Vector and put some finishing touches on their equipment - the new rod holders with teeth are awesome! Great dipsy rod holders free float as well as 360 rotation and angle any direction Plus a couple tracks on the big boat and you can transport your gear east to west very easily

Nice job guys!!! Sorry i miss'd it- i love those ice cold days and being the only ones on the lake!!! Once the new boat is settled and things calm down maybe i will make it out! Should be about May at this rate!!!!!! Good Luck this weekend

minor at best.... it is an outboard boat!!! i've done my research and the i/o - inboard posts have been scary- the outboards seem to be diehard

thanks for the info i think it comes down to the previous owner and their maintenance habits as far a flushing and spraying down i am very specific with my boat - motor- etc. so far the boat i'm really interested in seems to be the same way (very specific on his maintenance & clean up) this weekend will tell - pictures all look good but been burned three times so far by pretty pictures on the net... Thanks again...always open to more opinions!

Now to really stir the pot.... I know alot of the what ifs on this topic... but has anyone actually bought a previous salt water boat and brought it to the great lakes region If so what of the "don't do it's had you suffered?

Good info as usual, thanks for the input!!!

thanks for the input guys!

Looking for input on a Single Screw Straight Inboard 6.2 Merc. 300hp 10"x16" bronze rudder the boat is 28-feet Baha 9'-6" beam 6300 dry weight deep-V Hard chine planing type with a Thruster & kicker Looking for input on Speed - fuel - handling - docking etc (generic info) Never driven a straight Inboard Single is why i ask

Tony, Thanks for making arrangements so quickly for me on my way thru.... Good to meet you and for those who are interested....this boat is real nice it is by far the cleaneast interior hull i've seen - bilge, etc no dirt debris or mold and engine is spotless Nice set up with trailer and exterior is in very good shape as well! Will make someone real happy especially at the price!!! Thanks again!

Paul, By far the best Salmon mount i've ever seen... I couldn't be happier, i finally made arrangements to pick it up and she is now at home above the sliding glass doors in the house looks great..... finishes off the new house perfectly

Just curious if anyone has a baha Gle 277 (2008 ideal) on the South Shore that i can take a look at sooner than later......not looking to buy just see! call would be great 315-263-7661 Thanks!

Happy birthday boss...feel any younger?

Ohhhhhhhhh Baby, After all these years of knowing you guys it was great to finally get on the Cherokee and be able to fish. It's always fun/interesting to see how someone else runs things and how they can produce fish. You guys are always great company and finally got to fight a few fish with the Oh Baby Team. Thanks for the lessons learned and hopefully i left a little piece of knowledge with ya as well. Always a pleasure - let me know if you can make it up for the LOC. P.S. Big Weenie flies definitely did their job last weekend - and the way Matt knows these flies you would think he was the one distributing them- give me colors and i'll try to match give Matt the name and he'll dig it out the pile amazing how someone can remember the names and colors...... Definitely need to get some of the Big Weenie Flies let me know if you have any left over Thanks again -
