Figure I would repost the thread from the old forum that is now locked...

So here it is... my new to me* boat...
15' Calibogie with an 06 50Hp Honda four stroke with 56hrs on it. Just had the 50 hour service done so I am good for awhile...
For one, this sucker barely fit in my garage! :X
I pretty much spent all my money on this boat and after tax and registration... I would be broke...
But here are my current plans for this boat.
1) color fish finder
2) guide on for trailer
3) bimini top
4) rod holders
5) mount my two downriggers
Now after I get these and I save up enough the following will be next.
6) trolling motor
7) replace that ugly steering wheel
remove Doelfins and replace with Smart tabs

I got the self centering roller and added another set of bunks onto the trailer... Hopefully this will make it easier to center the boat on the trailer.
