I think I snuck in under the radar with reviving an old thread. lol

Thanks guys! Omaha boat show in a couple weeks, so we'll see what's out there.

I've always felt like our 20' SVSB seemed a bit nose heavy, but this is the first boat we've actually purchased, so weren't really thinking about that when we got it. The wife just wanted seating for friends and the rear-facing lounger. And I had permission to actually buy a boat, so... :)...

Reviving an old thread here... In light of our nosedives when we have more than 4-6 people on, the wife & I were wondering if upgrading to a 22-23ft tritoon would help prevent that. We'd really like to comfortably take 8 normal sized humans, without worrying about going for an unplanned...

Had the same thing happen on our 20SVSB this Memorial weekend. Had a full load of 10 and I thought it seemed like the front end was abnormally low when we were leaving the dock, but pressed forward anyway telling myself it was just 'different' because it wasn't just the wife & I. Should have...

Had nothing better to do this morning, so grabbed a battery & meter. About 2.3A for one light and 4.6A for both.

Still have a few weeks before we've got enough water to put her in anyway, unfortunately.

I did climb under the console yesterday and saw a couple of 5's and a couple of 10's. Yes, that's the kit that I picked up. You're probably right about doubling up, so maybe I'll just start with one of the lights & see if it gets the job done. Id much rather just be able to connect directly to...

@sunedog I think they're close to what you installed, 7 Inch LED Light Bar Kit by LEDMIRCY, so I wouldn't think they draw too much. @LaurencetheAdventurer I'm wondering if the integrated docking & navigation lights are new for 2025. I do have nav lights, but don't see anything on the boat for...

This is probably a newb question, but after reading @sunedog post about adding an LED bar light, I decided to give it a shot. We just bought our first boat (2024 20SVSB) last year, so I'm definitely a rookie. We don't have any prewires for docking lights, but we do have a few unused switches...

Ouch! We'd love to have that rail, as my daughter really wants to be able to ride back there, but $2k is way overpriced. imo.

I've seen a few comments about putting a heavier tarp over the mooring cover for winter storage - any concerns about that blocking the air vents in the mooring cover? Or is that not really anything to worry about during dry winter months?

I've been happy with mine. I was a little worried about how solidly it would mount, but I've had no problems at all.

Sorry I don't have a decent pic, but I use a Railblaza Swing Arm & RailMount StarPort for my Striker 4. Easy on/off & non-permanent in case I ever get a different finder.
