I picked up my 1st bass boat, it is an early 80's trihull. I will be using the boat for bass, perch and rbt. What should I do to make it and ideal bass boat.

Forgive this maybe obvious question, but do you have an electric trolling motor on the front? Also, a depth finder up front is really nice so you can always know what structure/depth is below you.

Tri hull works just fine. I've only owned Bass boats. My first one was a 16' Chrysler Bass Runner with front tiller steering, no console, 70 horse Chrysler Force motor.

I have a depth sounder Eagle 3D for sale.

Probably could put together an electric motor from the stuff I have here. Loaned a couple side rods of the mount for my spare to a guy and it took him years to return them. I need to put them back on.

OK, since we're spending your money... :cheers:

pedestal seats? Kinda nice to sit back on after a long day of casting.
