I am impressed with the tackle box!
Thanks. There is rod storage under the tackle boxes going towards the bow. Holds 5 rods.

I’ve had it in and out of the water it operates better than I could’ve hoped. Deck I built is plenty stable for the wife to cast from. (No need for outriggers!). It pulls and launches super easy with the wife’s SUV. Gas motor started first pull and ran like new. Electric motors run all day and move you pretty well. I spend a decent time fishing drinking water reservoirs and they are electric only.

Very nice J. When can I pick mine up? Although it is a bit of a drive to Cleveland for me.

Nice setup J. What ever makes the wife happy. She catches fish and feels safe up there thats what counts.
I have the same boat, not near as pretty as yours though. I took middle seat out, put in a floor.
I found mine behind a old barn, with a hole in the bottom. I fish small inland lakes in northern Michigan.
