Good Afternoon So I have been on the fence as to what I would like to do in the continuing saga of " let's dump some more money into the boat " game show. I have three ideas. First on the list is to somehow reconfigure the leaning post so I could upgrade the seat to some sort of bucket style. This would be a great addition I think, and maybe I could find one that was unfortunately caught up in one of the boats that got banged up during last months storm down south. Or just buy something straight up. Second, Smart rails.... already asked this question. I am just tentative to do the whole grind the gelcoat and glue process. This would be another fantastic addition for sure. Finally a trolling motor with spot lock. Nothing needs to be said about this. It's the cost that has me troubled. If I were to do this I would go with a super capacitor instead of batteries.This is what adds the cost but it will save a ton in weight and ease.
Well that's it. Any thoughts or ideas would be welcomed. Thanks for reading and I hope everyone had a great season up to now Sol...

Some good thoughts there. I like the smart rails but like yourself the preparation is crazy. All three would be awesome projects for the winter. With the crazy boat prices these days along with not knowing where this country is heading upgrades to our boats are our best choice. Good luck be sure to take photos to share.

Hey sol, nice to see you back. My LP seat upgrade was one of the best investments I made and one my wife would actually agree with me on and she don't agree with me on much when it comes to the boat. Lmao I think spray rails are ugly as hell. I'd just get some nice curtain/wings. They're nice when it rains too. Fortunately or unfortunately I've dumped so much money into my boat getting it the way I want I cant turn back now. I look at like this... It was still cheaper than buying a new boat.

I’ve kept a few pics of curtain ideas in the past as I always thought about them but never pulled the trigger
