New PT175

[Jeff Brown]

Hi All.



New member here.



Just traded in my Suntracker Party Barge 240 on a PT175. Picked it up Saturday. Looks great next (or behind) my red Dodge Dakota. Can't wait to get it into the water.



I am looking foward the great threads on this site.

I am happy to welcome you to our little corner of The Twilight Zone. Just a suggestion, never ask which is best glass or tin and never ever mention jacknuts. Also remember, Toxic is a bad kisser.

Glass is Past...Tin is In!

The red ones sure look nice. At first glance I didn't even realize it was tin. Those are nice looking rigs.

I'm kinda' partial to the graphite. Think about it...at least if it scratches..it's not gonna' show. Somethin' to ponder..

I don't think I'd like the black on the 185..especially on the topcap...man on a hot day..that'd burn you up. My shiny aluminum gets hot enough...

I got the red one. My 2002 Dodge Dakota is also red and they look like they match. Up until last weekend I was thinking of putting KC Chiefs arrowheads on the side of the boat but now I don't want to stink it up. Look for me on Bull Shoals.



I will post photos as soon as I can.

Here is your first project. Go to the resources section here where people have directions to modify your boat. There is a very simple but great example of how to put a rod organizer in your rod storage area. I did it in a few hours and you can install without really cutting into the new boat. Mine holds 10+ rods nicely so that the tips do not get tangled. Great first adder to the new boat. Welcome to the board.
