Mine was the washdown kit. The boat never smells anymore!

washdown pumps are cool until you burn out the 3rd phugging one Evil or Very Mad

For me these new scotty rod holders (won this one in everett derby) are the shit! just grab the rod, rip upwards and it comes right out. I love it.

2nd would be the glass I installed in my hatch door so that I could see fishfinder and not have to leave door open. Should patent this and sell it to Alumaweld What a Face Leaving the door open in winter and getting stuff wet wasnt working for me....

i put a pair of these "smooth move" seat mounts in, they are not as good as the mariners but they take the shock out.

I put the trim tabs in this year too. I just haven't learned the trick to using them. Sometimes they're great and other times they piss me off..

The trick is small movements a little at a time. Otherwise its easy to over compensate.

Ditching the Tri-Hull and building a V-Hull for east of the mountains. 1st step was to take the OLD V-4 85hp Evinrude to the dump!
