Merry Christmas to me!
 
Took the plunge...
so there I was...
upside down...blowing bubbles...
laughing my ars off...
that was it...my last paddle of the egg...
the last endo/pearl on the Outback...
me and my Outback have had a great run, but it was time to move on...
after many months of wanting...
the waiting is finally over...I am my own Santa...
I am now the owner of a nice new Revo...

thanks to all who answered my inquiries...
I settled with the most expensive rod holder known to man...
it seemed the most logical solution...
my reasoning was this...
(it holds alot more stuff than my ice chest did!)
what can I say...
the biggest hurdle was having a 2" hole saw punching thru the bottom of my brand new Revo...after the first test drive...not even a micro drop of water in the hull...shoulda done this along time time ago...

Congrat! That thing is sweet. What make and model is that fish finder?

Nice kayak, you are going to love it. I was also going to ask about your fishfinder.

yakrider 12-27-2010 04:24 PM

the fish finder is the Lowrance 522c iGPS...
it's about two + years old or so...
still can't justify a new FF.....yet...

mtnbykr2 12-27-2010 04:25 PM

that f/f is a Lowrance....but oh man I love the transducer set up...let me know the pluses and minuses on that beautiful Revo, I am in an Outback, with no complaints at all but I have been toying with the idea of movin on
as well....congrats on the new boat looks great

MVC 12-27-2010 04:47 PM

I am planning on buying a Lorance HDS-5 in the near future. Do you know if I can switch out the transducer for a thru the hull without paying additional money?

I got a mac notebook for myself last week(if u have'nt noticed my increase use in computer activity lately,this is reason why). I have 15 notebooks of hand written fishing journals that I have acured over the past 14 years that I need to transfer to the mac.:eek: Its time to go high tech.... back on topic, that t16a is a dream.

Very nice setup, congrats on the new ride. :cheers1:

Hunters Pa 12-28-2010 07:16 AM

way cool, & you will love having the ducer in direct contact with the water. When I did mine it gave me a whole new perspective

For the 3 days a year I get to be on the water that is :argh:

lterrero 12-28-2010 07:34 AM

How nice is to be happy!!!:)
Congratulation

They are made by Airmar http://www.airmartechnology.com/
Unfortunately, they are only made for the HDS series.

GregAndrew 12-29-2010 07:40 AM

BTW, Sweet ride bruddah. Wish they would make the fat man version of that.

John M 12-29-2010 09:55 AM

Arimar does makes the P319 to fit Garmin & Hummingbird.
I have a P319 that has been mounted in a Prowler 15 for about 5 years.
Got a Revo this summer and have a HDS 5 with P319/Tempature mounted in it.
So no excuse not to have a clean thru hull tranducer.
