Need some help fellas

[quack head 11]

I am about ready to pull the trigger on a pontoon boat to outfit for stripers and catfish

i am trying to figure how much more money I am going to need to "outfit" it as in trolling motor, bait tank and graph.

I may have to take it in stages, trolling motor, then bait tank, then graph.

Looking for suggestions on makes and models of each of the above items.


Much appreciated

Minn Kota autopilot trolling motor, I would go with 24 volt system so it will last longer on windy days($1k)

FF/GPS (color) $$$ depends on how big of a screen you would want) min of $500-600 or so and more if you want bigger but you could also look on some of the striper boards for a good used one

Ron Vest Super Bait tank II--$500 or so

Go with minn kota lowrance and a vest tank pro tip order the vest tank now...the waiting list is long. Depending on what u want to spend auto pilot is worth it.

X2 on both the previous posts. Minimum $1800

What they said.
70 lb min on the trolling motor. A pontoon can be a big parachute.
Toss in a couple hundred to line the rails with rod holders.

You can't go wrong with lowrance products. Go ahead and pay for the structure scan. PM whaler Dave. I hunk he has a super bait tank II that he would sell
