I have sea chaser 17 , I just got it last October and it needed trailer work , electrical ect . This was my first trip to O in it .Handles water better than my last 19 but it was a bowrider pleasure boat . I did install ff and fishhawk tight to outboard for future 9x12 electric trim tabs which are supposed to make huge difference according to Arima owners site . If you have not been on it there is tons of info and some very helpful people on it .Sorry I cant give you better answer but it works for me and Im just getting back fishing up here again . They have cult following out west and its actually my first real fishing boat and I plan for new stand up canvas and kicker .I need to be able to trailer 5-8 hrs . It will go to my son if I step up so doing good job on it .Good eye on picking it out ! Good luck Glenn

Yes , only got out one day

Had engine problems as soon as I launched 8/23 and thought it was fixed several times but finally got it straightened out with an outstanding individual from Harbors End marine inHenderson harbor . Got out finally Thursday 8/26 and went 1/2 down 94/106’ had 55 degrees on blank screen on DW 42 nd ,ran ff fm jplugs flasher meat took hit off down rigger in same water but missed it .Wire divers did nothing . Lake turned 4-6’waves so had to leave ,my problem was ethenol fuel in Ct I can elaberate if anyone who can’t get ethenol free fuel having issues. It only take a week or two of not running boat to foul carbs.Lesson learned cost me two days of fishing but got my buddy his first king after putting up with boat issues on his first trip to ontario .

Oh and beast of a fish ! Congats

Great news! Headed up Saturday .Was questioning my timing again but if We get 1 it will be better than our trip last year 🤣Thanks for report. I will post any good news I have , will be running out of port ontario

Awesome to hear ! Going up next week Went first time in25 yrs last yr only got out one day and got the dreaded skunk.Nice work thank you for report and glad to see you get that special memory . Glenn

I remember you slayed them days after I took my 14’ up to Catfish last year , if Imnot mistaken you and two buds all limited out one day ! Nice work thanks for the report. Glenn

Your posts are the best ! thanks for such detailed reports .

Nice work , Thank you for report . Heading up 8/21 hoping for better trip than last year .

I have them curing in the sun as we speak 😂 Hoping thinners cure paint completely outdoors in the sun .I never had much luck with them 25 yrs ago so thought black might be the new 40 .Spent a ton rehabing boat bought last October and on shoe string budget for my first trip this year .I was going to put scent on them upon deployment wth 10-12 ‘ leader . Is clear my best bet I buy new ? Thank you in advance Glenn

Thank you , found similar product for plastic from rustoleum .Much has changed as far tackle and techniques from 25 years ago .

Nice work , what is best paint to use on plastics ? I have some older dipseys I was going to hit with scotch brite and paint ,I see many people going black on dipseys . Taking son up in August on redemption trip , last year I hyped whole drive up and we only got 7hrs and nobody was hooking up ! Thank you

Hat trick x3 I think thats an Ovechtrick!!! Take it when you can get it,Your the man 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Congats Mike ! I brought my son up in same size boat and fished the same water and couldnt get it done ! lake didnt live up to my hype with son but he s a diehard fisherman and is going to give me a redemption trip 😥 I was out with the armada off power plant 8/26-28 th and I wasnt the only one not catching so I didnt feel to bsd but wanted to get him a king in the worst way .Nicely done!
