We just made the inevitable concession to maturity and pending grandchildren to trade in our 20 year old Howard 21' 400 HP (80 mph) and "trade-up" to a fully-optioned 18SLi with a 40 HP Big Foot fishing chair, electric motor, fish finder and plenty of cup holders. We'll miss the speed a little but it was also a little cumbersome trolling with a sea anchor attached to the ski pylon and since our vacation home's home lake has a 35 mph speed limit, it's a long overdue upgrade. We could not be more excited!
Rather than re-invent the wheel, I thought I would try and pick the collective brain and experience of the Forum...
1. We need to make some arrangement for our 90 pound Chocolate Lab when he does water retrieving. Has anyone tried to attach a dog ramp for water exiting? We had seen doggydocks and the Dog-On Water Ramp on line. Any thoughts?
2. We wanted to have a custom sign for the boat's name. Where did you mount your signs? Any sugestions or sign-making referrals?
3. Any "must-have" accessories we should consider? Pontoon fenders etc ?
Thanks and Anchors Aweigh!!
