The boat is a Mint 1994 19ft Islander It has the economical 3.0 Merc with an Alpha one outdrive that pushes the vessel 35 mph. The boat/motor has only just over 100 hours on it. Everything is still like new. Trailer is a galvanized bunk trailer for easy loading and unloading. You don't have to worry about the boat sliding off while you are backing down the ramp. Loads just as easy due to the side bunk guides. You always ends up centered. The boat is pretty well loaded and is ready to fish. There is nothing that is required to fish. I will even included some quality rods and reels (Talora, St. Croix, Tekota's ect) ,TBD during negotiations I bought this late last year from a forum member. I have added and improved upon what I got to make it even better if that was possible. It is super clean and ready to go. I just do not have the time to fish this and have to admit I just will not use it as I had hoped Extras include: (some info from last September per the previous owner) Honda 15hp 4 stroke 25in shaft, electric start, power tilt, Power Trans wireless remote steer (also hardwired incase batteries in remote die), If purchased new this would cost over $6000 for the same set up. Troll all day long on around $20. Super quite and a guy can fish by himself because of the wireless remote steer, it allows you to steer the boat while fighting a fish. Big Jon electric planer reels with dual masts for each side of the boat ($800) Custom canvas cover ($800) I had a second custom 1/2 cover made and side windows (another $1400) that zips/snaps into the bimini top. Lowrance HDS 5 Sonar/GPS with Navtronics chip, super detailed ($700) FishHawk X4 ($650) VHF Radio ($125) 10 Big Jon Rod holders ($1000) Bimini Top ($500) 2 Cannon Mag 20 Riggers, High speed with auto stop. They are mounted on Heavy duty swivel 4" pedestal bases in tracks. ($1000). 2 Cannon Mag 10 Riggers, They are mounted on Heavy duty bases. ($1000). Stilletto Stainless 4 Blade prop ($350) That's $14,500+ worth of extras not even counting the rods, reels, tackle that may be included. Also included are life vests, buoys, ties downs, anchor, downrigger balls, paddle ect Asking $8800 but am open to cash offers in person. My consider holding paper if need be. Test drive/fish for serious buyer. Out of water right now but will arrange launch location if need be I will also consider selling without the kicker, downriggers ect. Open to ideas. Listing for ruger1nut PM me for information or post here 5854726634

For trolling I'd imagine your saltwater rods will work fine

I've tried a lot of different shells but always end up going back to winchester HV bb's for geeese, 3's for ducks. 3'' for both. Most important thing to do is sit down with various shells and shoot paper and see what patterns best out of YOUR gun with the choke you intend on using. All guns throw shot different.

I shoot the 1 3/8'' grim reapers out of my 60# hoyt maxxis 35 and have no complaints so far. They shoot identical to field points and penetration has been excellent. I shot the 2'' grim reaper white tail specials last year and had had one not pass through on a 20 yard shot on a buck last year that was quartering away, the arrow opened up and failed to exit through the opposite shoulder, the buck went down in less than 30 yards but that was enough for me to go to a smaller diameter, gotta have some power for the larger broad heads in my opinion. this years doe with a 1 3/8 reaper, 20 yards broad side, ran 40 yards and piled up

Super long dipsey Leads
zackblain replied to darkfisher's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
if fishing solo try setting the rod in a rod holder towards the front of the boat once your dipsy is reeled to the tip and your drag is set so that if the fish wants to run it can run. then you can handline and net while not trying to hold the rod, or just go up 10# heavier to avoid breakoffs as dipsys aren't a stealth approach -
I feel that that the kinking associated with putting the wire into a release clip would be asking for snapped lines. Never heard of anyone using wire for downrigging.

Running main engine what do you do with the kicker?

I've never heard of anyone targeting them. There are far better lakes to fish if you want to target browns.
