Thanks to Firerider on this site for sharing info about custom upfits. I'll be looking for a custom one of these soon. This looks like the best solution to me.

I do have a west coast rail. Don't have an issue at all with glare. The roof contour on mine, because it is not flat, dictated that it had to be further forward to mount level. Luck in this case instead of good planning resulted in that distance being perfect to use the roof like a cap bill...

Yes, they are through bolted with stainless washers on the interior. Rigged with lighter mono for the first 6" or so as a breakaway in case the teaser gets engulfed by something large. The hal-lock has a carabiner type clip at end of the shock bungie that attaches to an arch shaped metal clasp...

I went with Maxel's. If you go that route, buy some extra drag washers. Not 100% sure if it is a design flaw or operator error in the chaos of the bite, but likely somebody forgets to loosen them before reeling up the teaser and strips the drag washers. They have been great otherwise. Think...

Thanks for the info. Just hung up the phone with the dealership. They are going to look into deck mounted first and ripping out the current 150 ct box & live-well to see how big of a box will work there. I'll report what I find out.

Anybody heard of cutting in deck fish boxes in a 2520 XLD?? I'm not serious enough yet to contact the factory, but I'm tired of having to tote a Yeti 250 in the middle of the deck to accommodate a good catch. Working around the cooler is a constant obstacle while fishing. If deck boxes are...

Hey Mark, Sorry for the late reply. Good to know another CP site guy in the area. That would have been my brother in October as I was chasing ducks in Canada. Think that was the time they caught a couple in the 50 lb range. Thanks for the compliment on the boat, I'm very pleased with it...

My Simrad AP has been awesome after the second programming. I'm very pleased with the Simrad electronics. Very easy to use and like the app that they have that turns my iPad into a remote screen that I mount with a sea sucker at the second station. Really only lose the turn wheel to zoom in &...

Absolutely good for a stream run. Just let me know. I'm about a month from being able to get back on the water. I coach baseball so we are back at it since graduation is behind us.

Welcome!!

More pics.

Three days of fishing complete on Miss Crete. Figured out the layout on her and had great fishing each day. Very pleased with the boat. Thanks again to you guys for sharing the info on your boats. It helped me tremendously with the layout & option selection on mine. One of my against the grain...

Almost there!! Next picture should be on the water. Teaser reels should go on today to finish her off.

Progress.....the boat is out of the factory & off to electronics and rigging. Engine arrived, but the props are backordered. Can't wait to go fishing. Rolling out of Beaufort June 6th headed to fish Hatteras for 6 days. Thanks for the comments on her. Still not 100% settled on a name. We are...

Getting closer. Port strike on the west coast has one engine delayed. Here are a few pics from the factory. Have any of you guys added a custom second rocket launcher??? If so....any pics? Anyone you would recommend for that in the Morehead City area?? Thanks in advance for any responses.
