hey all,
i am getting an old boat from my sister in about a week. its a 1977 something or other and it is basically what i would call a floating piece of crap:head ...until i am done with it. its a 17 foot bowrider with the original engine. (1977 110 HP Mercury) engine and boat are still going strong, i ran it for 87 hours last summer at high speeds with no a problem. now, i have prior boating knowledge, having been on a boat since before i was born. i can run, dock, anchor, and do anything else with a boat. i would like to rig this boat for fishing as well as spearfishing. i do not need any help with the fishing part, i have that all covered. but are there any sort of things i should put on to make spearfishing easier? i already have a swim platform with boarding ladder, i have a danforth anchor (my favorite :inlove ) is there anyting else, gun mounts, (stuff like that) that would make my time on the water a little more enjoyable? anything would make this boat better, hahahaha rofl rofl
