MY NEW LIVINGSTON

[fishingmachine]

I was wondering if any of you guys have any suggestions on add ons i could buy for my livingston boat

[Toni]

What size is it? I liked my 10' livingston. We put it on top of my 1981 Escort. The boat was as long as the car.
I have seen people put plywood across the bow for a deck. Then you could put a fish finder there, too.

Buy Kuttkilla's fish finder, some rod holders are always nice, an anchor system, DR's if you can afford them, but those can wait....

[fishingmachine]

well mine is 7.5 feet and was thinking of using a downrigger

[fishingmachine]

i already have a fishfinder and yeah i am gonna get some rod holders

I'm holding on to my fishfinder, it finds all those big cutts in lake washington not for sale anymore

Don't add on too many things FM. Just be patient and enjoy the boat, fish out of it 5-10 times and get a feel for it, and then maybe add some things you think need to be added...don't add things without having taken it out for some spins and trolls...

i took the boat out today and it was fun

DR's are pricey. If you think you will use them enough and benefit enough from them, the clearly they are worth purchasing. It's all up to you though. You the one paying for it, so you gotta decide what you wanna spend....

well i mean sam what rod holders should i put on there

You don't need a downrigger right now...that's overkill...but if you insist, go with the Scotty Lake Troll clamp on mounting system...it'll set you back a bit...

i mean where would i use a downrigger kutt

[kuttkilla]

i mean where would i use a downrigger kutt

That's what I'm saying...you don't need one...use banana weights or something else...you could use a downrigger in Lk. Sammamish or Lk. Washington, but you don't fish that all too much...downriggers for Pine and Beaver are overkill, just in my opinion...keep it simple, and it'll be the best.

[fishingmachine]

yeah so what type of rod holders should i use

[kuttkilla]

yeah so what type of rod holders should i use

Your hands...that's what I use...the best rod holders...EVER.

Boat seats and a GPS

[fishingmachine]

hahahahahaha okay kutt

[A9]

well i mean sam what rod holders should i put on there

Whatever ones are cheap and look like they are easy to attach. Clamp ons aren't bad at all.

You don't needa go spending big bucks on expensive stuff.
Glad you found a good boat for yourself...

I like Scotty rod holders. Drill 4 holes for each rod holder and your set. Scotty makes one that is removable, wich is a must if you dont have a trailer.
