I have just purchased what I call a crappie rig , It shows on the boat as a 165. registration shows L 165 eu. Where is more info available ?
Interested in mainly the electrical and possibly trolling motor upgrades.
Neat little boat for my wife and I . I am looking forward in using but do see making changes in the future, I desire to hear from other owners about ideas and experiences

welcome Ki4ux, where will you be boating?
I’ve got the little brother to yours- a Lowe 1448.
Over the years I’ve added some things you might want to consider- a small steering console, an electrical junction box, a fishfinder, running lights, horn, a lighter socket, and a bow troller.
Feel free to ask questions.

Thank you, the 165 I purchased has all those items except for Junction box I am currently adding Fishfinder # 2. I desire to know more about updating my trolling motor in the future. I fish in NW Alabama in TN River.

LOL, as a kid I earned Seaman 1st Class at Admiral Farragut Academy, does that count?
I‘m impressed with your work in the USCGA, nice going!

The trolling motor- in my case I needed more weight in the bow, so I simply added a separate battery up front and connected the clamps, easy!
