Fish finder?
Saturday, October 30th, 2010Does anyone know of a good fish finder? I go on Vacation for 4 weeks in the summer and I need a fish finder that is not permanent. We use the boat that is provided by the cottage. It is not very big and it is metal. So, I don't want to actually install a fish finder. Any suggestions?

Which boat do I buy, a 1994 Sea Pro or 2001 Carolina Skiff?
Wednesday, October 20th, 2010The 1994 Sea Pro is an 18ft 190DC (Dual Console) and has a 140hp Tohatsu engine with about 90 hours. The Sea Pro boat comes with a bimini top, depth finder, fishing gear, and is in emaculate condition. The man selling it is the second owner and wants $8900, 35% above NADA, but the boat is in great shape. The 2001 Carolina Skiff is a Center Console 21ft Sea Chaser 210 with a 115hp Johnson with unknown hours. It comes with a bimini top, fish finder, GPS, and two way radio but has very minor damage along the edges from bumping into the dock. The man selling it is the first owner and wants $12,000 but will negotiate. This will be my first boat and I like the Dual Console and the condition of the Sea Pro, but the Carolina Skiff is newer and has a more popular engine which might make it easier to service. The Sea Pro has individual seats which I like better than the Bench seats on the Carolina Skiff. Although the Sea Pro is over NADA, it has many extras, as does the Carolina Skiff.
More info on the Sea Pro: It also comes with an engine cover and a custom boat cover. Both guys claim to have all original boxes and manuals for all of the equipment. I have been on the water with the Sea Pro and will be going out on the Carolina Skiff this weekend. The Sea Pro had a slight surge but the man says he can correct it with very minor repair. If I choose this one, I will ask him to make the repair with a promise to purchase if it does not surge the second time in the water. I am open for any advice or suggestions as to buying a boat or the dependability of either of these boats.
I need to correct myself on the Carolina Skiff. It is actually a Sea Chaser by Carolina Skiff. I have been told that the hull is not shaped the same even though it is made by the same company.

How can I find my boat that sunk?
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010It's a 14ft fiberglass ski boat, and sunk in aprox 12 to 20ft of water. I remember the general area it went down, but a typical Texas lake has a water clarity of about 2 inches. A friend tried to find it using his fish finder/gps that shows the lake bottom, but no luck. Where could it have gone?
Its been under water for 5 months now. I can't get rid of the trailer, because I know the minute I do, they'll find it and call me to come get it.
It's in a local lake around the Houston area.
I know it won't work, but its become a quest to find it, lol. The police have also tried to find it, but not sure how well they looked.
Anyone know of a handheld maritime GPS?
Thursday, August 26th, 2010I want a handheld GPS but I want it to also be capable of uploading nautical charts. I do not need or want a fish finder feature which is pretty common when looking at martime GPS units. Also, maritime GPS units tend to be the mountable type, I want a handheld similar to what you would hike with. So, handheld, able to use nautical charts.
