  1. Despite what people are saying, I don't believe you are the devil of the waterways. First thing is that you want to understand what you could do to either plane at a lower speed. Wanting to know shows you are not a haphazard boater. Also, you identified that to even get planed out put you at a higher speed than comfortable. Again, you knew this was a bad situation. Yes, you probably had the perfect combination of variables to prevent you from planing out and running at a slower pace. You could change the prop(talk to ken and propgods to figure out if there are other options) or a better solution if you operate with that type of load, is to install trim tabs. My guess is you need some serious trim tabs if you operate with 9 people on the boat all the time.

  2. 2 Cannon downriggers: http://www.basspro.com/Cannon%C2%AE-LakeTroll%E2%84%A2-Manual-Downrigger/product/91035/-1323498

    Used them twice. There is a little rust on the cables but that is mainly from non use rather than abuse.

    2 Cannon gimbal mounts for 30 degree rod holders: http://www.basspro.com/Cannon-Gimbal-Mount/product/8266/-179736

    Shipped within the continental for $300. Downriggers are 150 each new and the gimbal mounts are 70 each new.

  3. For 10-20k, I would look in the low 20 foot range. there is a big difference in cockpit space between a 17' and a 21' boat. I would look for something 20-22' and find the best value for what you want to do. Stay away from upholstery if possible as it's constant cleaning ect. just a good all around center console or dual console will serve you well.
