I picked it up last fall. It's a 2012 Trophy 2102. 150hp fuel injected 4 cycle and 20 hp carburetor 4 cycle. Really easy on gas. 20 hp makes a great trolling motor. I installed new hyd autopilot, fishawk and fishfinder. Also all the downriggers and traxtech equipment. It's nice and warm on these early cold days. I still have my littleboat for jigging, small lakes and rivers. Now I can go out where it might have been a little less than idea for a smaller boat. The engines had less than 25 hours on them. Still under warranty.

Got out for a bit of a shakedown cruise. Caught 5.26# laker north of the harbor in 18ft. Water was 39 degrees. Got it with a red top/gold bottom thinfish with a 2 color. New boat ran great. I was able to take a friends grandson out for his first time fishing. He was excited. He is taking the fish to grandmas for Easter.

Port sheldon channel is open today Saturday, but the lake is pounding the entrance. I saw one trailer in the lot, but couldn't see the boat in the channel, brave souls.

Or using the webview off the phone app.

I don't get that format unless I'm doing it from my desktop.

My backyard test.

I used my desktop to post the pics. The GLF wasn't accepting my android phone attachments.

North wind blew the ice to the southside today, blocking the channel. That's something to think about, when you try to get back in. A wind shift could really ruin your day, especially on the way back to the launch. March 20th 1st day of Spring.

Lots of chopped bergs in the lake. Check my pics.

Evidently the attachment process is still not working for the Android phones. Stopped by the PS today and snapped a few.

All of the launch is frozen in and about 20% of the lake. Zoom in the picture to see better, since I almost got stuck at the gate.

1-4pm with tbutcher, 1 for 2, fished cranks/spoons down the channel around the entrance then headed nw 3mph sog to 60fow..nothing. Turned headed se approx 50 fow had 1st hit small coho at 2:45pm on lime dipsy back 50, set 3 with 12ft lead using slim blue jerry lee spoon w/feathers sw of harbor entrance. 2nd hit lost 25 feet from boat est 5# (steel or coho), on mag green jeans w/feathers on orge slide diver set 2 1/2, back 50', w 30ft lead, 2:58pm, 47 fow 2.9 sog. Lake temp. 48 on top 47.6 bottom. Got too cold to stay much longer. Putting the boat away until spring. Great season, meant alot of nice people being new to the area. Looking forward to an early spring.

Surface temp was 49. Big DR hit was on carmel spoon w/skirt which shook the hook. Little coho was on double glow yellow tail w/skirt. Didn't have ability to read depth\temps today. Great time inbetween 3,4 and occasional 5 ft roller. Lucky, no chop. Lake did finally settle down somewhat 2-3 footers.

Are you docked on the southside?
