The Boat

When I’m out fishing on the Potomac River, the Chesapeake Bay, tidal creeks, local reservoirs you will find me fishing in two general ways, from shore or boat. I recently upgraded to a brand new 18ft Xpress Drop Deck Modified V. It has a wide open hull that is completely finished, without the exposed ribs. Underneath is a brand new aluminum Back T2016-03-30 22.14.57rack trailer. I matched the boat with an older 45 hp Evinrude tiller outboard. The reason for the older outboard was cost and I can easily fix them. Inside I mounted my Lowrance 7in Gen2 on the stern and an older Hummingbird on the trolling motor. Just this spring I invested in the new Motorguide Xi5 Wireless GPS trolling motor(not pictured), and I’m excited to get to use the new features like the GPS anchor! What a great ride this is, and I’ll have a formal review coming in the future.
