      Have you figured how much more lift they will add? I about to be in the process of raising my transom and adding sponsons.

        Yes. They will add aproximintly 220 lbs of lift. It's about water displacement.

        The fish are biting, and there's hogs to be kilt. Gotta go!

                    Got a few more things done to the "Wild Thing". Built a lil cover box to cover two more bussbars for more power up front. And to cover an ethernet hub. Also added another Helix 10 to the front. Got the troller and both Helix networked into a US2 transducer, a Sideimaging transducer, and a high speed 2D transducer in the back. I also added some E-locks to the sonar heads to help keep people honest.

                    The fish are bite-n and there's hogs to be killed, gotta go!

                        I got another Ram mount. But that lil deck area metal is to thin to mount. So I just popriveted the gambril into place for now. I plan to use the Ram for a second Helix 10 on the console where the other is. That will make the Side Imaging largdf with a left screen on one head. And a right screen on the othe.

                          Hope to go float her tomorrow. Going to give the pods some work. She ain't been out since last May before the pods went on.

                              Not sure yet. But hoping to head somewhere where it's not flooding.


                              I'll check the water levels in the morning on area lakes.

                                Hope you got fresh fuel! Glad the boat is making progress. Got my helix 10 out today for the first time and very happy. Report back! Hope the rain stops for a bit.
