I'm awaiting the arrival of my new vibe sea ghost and wondering what upgrades are going to be necessary right from the start any suggestions would be awesome

Hey Zach,
I have a 2017 SG 110. The things I've done so far are: Installed a Garmin Striker fish finder, yak attack anchor trolley and an electronic console(check out Dinsmore Outdoors on Youtube). I think that is about it, so far.

This was posted a while ago...what upgrades have you done?
For my SG130, the biggest mods I've done is added the ModPodII center hatch and fish fish finder. The ModPod is a great addition and adds a bit more modularity to the center storage area. Instead of just a big lid, it has a top watertight compartment for a cell phone, some bungees, and gear tracks. And it hinges in the middle which makes it much easier to work with on the water.
It's a little expensive at $85, but worth it IMHO: http://www.h24outdoors.com/old-town-mod-pod-ii.html
The LiPo battery for my fish finder is also attached to a USB charging hub, so I routed the charge cable into the cell phone compartment. After a full day on the water using the fish finder and keeping my phone topped off I still have around 40% capacity. The nice thing about the LiPo, is that it's small and I can always carry a spare for longer trips. Easy to swap out and those 5000mah batteries only cost around $25.

This might be a little late but I just fished out of my 130 for about 4 months before I did anything to see what I thought was the best thing for me to do. Modify the center hatch, fish finder and set up for lights if I want. Fish On

I bought my Sea Ghost 110 in April and have fished out of it as is (stock rudder, stadium seat and paddle). The only mod I am considering is the center hatch but so far it serves me well. I view adding an anchor or a fishfinder as just adding more equipment.
