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...



can't wait to try it in the waves...(after the poop goes away)

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

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. Its time to go high tech.... back on topic, that t16a is a dream.

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

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.
