I'm running an old 500w, 12in sub in a box under the bed in my 24 flybridge. It used to sound great in my little car but it doesn't do shit in the boat. Even inside the cabin it's poor at best. It may be old and shot but it looks like it's working it's just isn't producing. I'm wondering what...

What UC Rods are most similar to a seeker 3X and 4X? Are they available in 7-7.6ft versions? Does anyone run them with a bent butt for bf? What are the respective differences compared to the equivalent/similar seekers? Thanks

Since everyone has biting the spreader bar as of late I'm hoping we can put some information together regarding pros and cons of components, rigging, techniques, etc. A few questions I have as I'm considering which setup to buy are below, any more info would be greatly appreciated. Pros and...

After a few years of rebuilding my 1970 Skipjack 24 Flybridge I had it pretty close to done... done enough to fish and the bluefin were getting close. I live in the desert and Silverwood lake is the closest place to shakedown a boat so that's where I was going when some blind cnut ran a stop...

So there are only a couple things I don't like about my boat. One is the bilge. I painted the bilge white, it was black; so I could see any leaks, etc. This works great, but the second thing I don't like about my boat is that I have too much shit going on in the bilge. I have three bilge pumps...

Anyone know of a place I can sit in them before I buy them? A place I can drive to in SoCal possibly, or any place to order helm chairs at all? Looking for two white that have arms, preferably adjustable under $500\ea.

Does anyone who has used this have any feedback or rigging info? I just got the 280, I was going to rig it like I would rig a dead flying fish with a big 9\0 j hook or a 9\0 circle in the front and big treb on the tail. I feel like the treb on the back is most important but if I use a long...

I have ab175HW installed in the bilge, has been OK for the last two seasons. I'm installing a Bait Sentry 1100 mag drive livewell pump and I'm wondering how close is too close to mount the pump to the ducer. I'm running out of options on the boat, I've attached some pics, I want to mount the...

I'm looking for recommendations on a pump for 45-50gal tank. What size and how long has your pump lasted? I like the idea of the Bait Sentry so I can feed my washdown with the same thru hole but I dunno if that's too good to be true. I have one 1in thru hull w a scoop\grate. Thanks

What battery chargers are you guys using? How do you like them? I'm talking just to babysit the batteries while the boat is not in use. I have two 8D house batteries and a group 27 AGM starter battery. Looking to replace a dead NOCO three bank.

Been trying to get tech support from Simrad to get my fuel flow sensor working for about two weeks now and it hasn't happened. I thought we could make it there and back if we didn't do too much running around out there so we headed out Saturday from Dana Landing. Water was cold and ugly until...

How do you know if you need a rudder feedback sensor? I was originally told I did not need one, I was told to use VFR.

I'm getting ready to install the wr10 with my evo3 and the installation vid says to pair the wr10 with the bae you need to disconnect the cable to the base for 10 seconds then re-power it. Once it's setup and all is well and I park the boat for a month with the batteries turned off do I have to...

I'm starting to look into options for a tower on a 24 Skipjack Flybridge. I really like the idea of a soft top, maybe one I can crawl up through into the tower, like a cobia tower style maybe. If I can get away without a hardtop that would be great, I think. I'm wondering what is important, for...

Is there a way to enter a lot of cords\waypoints into an EVO3 without entering each one at a time on the machine? Can I build a spreadsheet and upload it or download an app and make up the list on a computer and save it to an sd card and upload it, something like that? What's the best app to...

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Mike at the Skipjack facility in Oak Hills, CA. Everything Skipjack, from the originals to the new and upcoming, it was a blast. Starting out with the star of the show the new 26 footer on deck.

I'm considering buying a small number of new aluminum I-beam boat trailers from out of state.

I'm looking to buy a pair of fraser's but I'm not sure what the best option is for spotting bluefin. It seems to me that the s250's are the newer model but I can't tell if they are better than the 25's and what exactly is different about them. I would also love to hear if anyone is using the...

PREFACE: I've owned this boat for 25 years, it sat for ten because it needed a re-power, two years ago I dropped a crate 350 into her. I knew the old Electric shift outdrive wouldn't handle the power of the new motor (300hp) so we just took it really easy, never went over ten knots\hour. I went...

Mount for small outboard, used to hold the dinghy motor. $100.00 OBO

Bearing Buddy has two versions, Stainless Steel or Chrome (Chrome Plated Steel probably) Does everyone use the Stainless version for ocean boat trailers, or do the Chrome versions hold up? The Stainless version is twice as much that's why I'm wondering if I can get away with it, especially...

I'm looking to replace all the rocker switches in my dash. I recently replaced them with round black rockers that have blue LED's, they are starting to go out after one season, even tho they are "waterproof", they were about $5.00 each. Can anyone recommend a good switch? I am currently leaning...

I've got a 30 gallon bait bag that hangs over the stern. I like it because I have a very limited amount of deck space on my 24ft Skipjack. I've already got a pump, I think it's 1000gph, I'll be timing it to see how long it takes to fill, hopefully 5-7 minutes, that's what I've read so far. The...

I'm set on the ducer, I hear it's a beast, but I'm not sure about the head unit yet. I'm not looking to spend a ton, like to stay around a thousand - fourteen hundred on the head unit and the options I'm considering are Furuno GP1971F and a Garmin GPSMAP 942XS. I'm fishing for bluefin in my...

LOWRANCE Elite-5 Ti w Totalscan Transducer & Mounting Plate Unit was installed for one weekend. My dad wants a different brand, one he's used to operating. I'm not saying it's difficult to use he's just an old timer. I paid almost six hundred asking $465.00 [email protected]

I'm looking to put together a rig that's specifically for chasing "run and gun" / chasing down foamers in my own boat. I prefer to fight standing up with a harness I really like the Macforce 2 harness, admittedly it's my first harness but I do really like it I've only used simple belts in the...

Looking for a good deal on big trolling reel, something for 500lb+ Mako. Good condition please. Thank you
