I took a bunch of pictures of my mods so I could share.  Most of the ideas I picked up here and there surfing the web.  The only original idea was how I stored my tackle.

5 Rod Holder
Anchor Trolley
GPS/Sonar Mount (still have to commit before I drill the hole for the wires)
Tackle setup in hull
Camera mounts
Larger rudder (a must for true tracking and aggressive authority)
Turbo blades (another must, make sure you leave the adjusters as loose a possible)
Peddle weights

Read the comments for details.  Any questions about anything, please ask!

Hey, colt45, I don't want to be a downer, but I followed your link and was wanting to browse around, but my Internet Explorer crashed (first time EVER in that situation).  So, as a rule, I'm outa there!  There were a bunch of good pics there, bring a few in on the report here instead of a link...  My 2 cents.   :smt001

What, that was phase 1???  Jesus man, your setup looks killer ;)  What do you do for an encore?

Bummer man!  Sorry that happened, don't know why.  I've been using Google stuff for a couple years and have never had that happen....

Negative on BAM.  I got the Plano's from Walmart, cheap.  There were 4 of them in a soft carrying case.  I think they were about 11" x 8" x 1.75" 

(EDIT: I took a look, they are Plano model 3650, 11 x 7.25 x 1.75)
