  1. I am considering getting a 24V trolling motor. Right now, I have two batteries on board. One is a regular cranking battery, and the other is a combo deep cycle/cranking. I also have a 1/2/both/off battery switch. If I install the trolling motor, what am I going to need for a battery setup? Will I need a new deep cycle (or two)? Thanks for any input. I know nothing about this.
  2. I'm looking for a dry slip for my 20' Everglades (no t-top) around WB or Bradley Creek, but I do not want to do a year lease. If anyone has one and is willing to discuss terms other than a year's lease, please give me a call. 910-612-3719.
  3. I've spent a lot of time on a friend's Conquest 305. Whether it's right for you depends on what you plan to use it for. It is a big, wide, nice comfortable boat, but I would not say it is ideally suited for offshore fishing and long runs. The head sea ride can be pretty tough. My friend's boat has twin 225 Opti's and seems underpowered. I'm not sure if we've ever broken 30 mph in the ocean, even on the calmest days. Perhaps it would perform better with different power. At least with my buddy's set-up, the boat seems great for cruising (albeit slowly) but not so great for offshore fishing.
