Boat Upgrade, rod holder and fish finder advice

[BURLEY]

I have the same boat with a 60 hp motor. I have added many things to it since buying it new in 2015. I first added a Lowrance elite-7 TI w/SI & DI. the touch screen is very handy. Throw away the BassProShop rod holders. The second thing I did was to add a hydrofoil fin to the 60 hp outboard to help get on plane. Next came the bimini top. Get a tall one (56")so that you can walk under it. I put 1" PVC pipe into the rear uprights of the trailer to help guide the boat while landing in the wind. You can drive them in with a hammer and then bend them using a heatgun or propane torch. I also added some LEDs to the PVC uprights to make launching in the dark easier. I have added a telescoping ladder to the bow for ease of boarding. It folds flat onto the bow and the mounting is reinforced under the deck. The latest mod was to add a second sonar and transducer. I put on a Garmin Echomap Plus 73sv. It also has side and downview plus it can draw bottom contour maps of your favorite ponds with 1 foot gradients. Some Lowrance models does this also. The boat is very stable and I have truly enjoyed it. If I had to buy it again I would op for the 90hp motor.
