  1. I use vasoline. Little smell and easy to get off hands and equipment.
  2. I also have a 597ci on one of my boats so let me know if you need info.
  3. I’ve had a 383ci (385ci is just the upgraded unit) for 4 or 5 years now on my bass boat. It’s been an excellent unit. Sonar works great. Marks fish and bottom well and tracks bottom well at higher speeds. The gps is accurate but the mapping is a little lacking but the 385 now has an option for mapping cards so that takes care of that issue. Great unit for the price. Other unit to look at is a lowrance m68. Have one for ice fishing and works just as well with a little more fine adjustment on the sonar then the humminbird. Cabelas has it for $350 right now. Hope this helps.
  4. Thanks for the welcomes everyone. Glad you all like the fat chick. I love building boats and this is my second one. This was my first salmon boat but not my last. Looking forward to talking to everyone here. Great site with lots of info.
  5. forgot one. Motor after rebuild/paint.
  6. Well to start out, hello everyone. This is my first post but I’ve been signed up for a while and check here every day. This is my project I’ve been working on for the past year (mostly the past winter). Its not the 24ft striper I wanted but with the way the economy is right now the 500 dollar price on it looked much better.(gotta love friends that need money) It had a cracked block in it when I got it so it has a new 4.3l that I rebuilt for it. I’m a certified mechanic and work as a welder/fabricator and machinist so all the work was done by me. (Except the top, my mom sewed that) With her top My manual hydraulic kicker lift. Can you tell me what I made it from? It works awesome My swivel mounts (own design) Reels Machined from abs plastic and aluminum My version of easy steer She’s big, heavy and ugly but I love her. That’s why I named her fat chick. Be testing it all week and can’t wait to get it on lake O. Not to bad for some 24yr old punk kid hu. So what you think
