Off Topic How's this one?

[Naden16]

When I first joined here with my 16' aluminum boat I got a lot of concerns for the size of it at Long Point. Happy to say the boat and all occupants have survived! I still have it too! I just got this one. I imported it from Florida but it's a fresh water boat. No salt corrosion to be found! As you can see I'm looking for a deal on used Cannon downriggers!!

@Naden16 I was going to say that you need to talk to @turtle over in classifieds, but then I noted those are Big Jon D/Rs.

@Naden16: Did you scrap the Naden, or is it still on the go ?? Sorry was looking at your new boat didn’t read your message…..

For now I'm keeping the Naden. If I don't get it out this year I will be selling it next year

That's quite a step up but looks like a perfect boat for the Great Lakes @Naden16... enjoy!

Thats a beaut!! I also imported mine from Florida..lightly used, a mix of inshore fresh and brackish water but zero corrosion. Have you looked on Lake Ontario United for riggers? Its US but shipping is easy enough.

Thanks. I have been checking every forum I came find for DW's . they are either really old or over priced. I saw on where the guy is asking $1000 for a Mag 10!!

No Need! It was a trailer Queen for 2 years didn't see any water unless it fell from the sky

Found a couple of downriggers. Now have to mount them. Do you guys with fibreglass boats use a backing plate for the mounts??

Yes, the load should be distributed so that there are no small stress points. I'd suggest towing it down to Grimsby Tackle and having Martin look at it. He is a rigger extraordinaire.

 

[Naden16]

Does Grimsby have backing plates?? might be better to buy than make

Long time since I started this thread. I managed to get the electrical gremlins sorted that I needed to sort. There are circuits that I don't need as of yet. My first launch was in the beginning of July. Launched at Collin's, great people there. The thrill lasted all of 15 minutes, as the motor was acting up. Long story short, I took the boat to Marina Shores. Larry diagnosed the problem as a bad stator. Part was back ordered until July 29th. The part came in on Aug 03 or 03. I took it to Larry and he had it all fixed up by the 12th. I can finally go pick it up tmr, darn work!! So, fingers crossed for maiden launch version 1.2. I am going to assume its going to run like a top. BUT, Can anyone point me towards a general area to catch so nice fish? don't want specific way points, just a starting spot would be appreciated. Are trout biting now or just Wally's ? Going to Launch from Collins again

Nice boat Naden 16.If you don't mind how do you find a boat like that from Florida that hasn't seen salt water?

I have these on my Amberjack. They are pricey. But they hold there value if you ever decide to sell them. And they have some really cool features.
