Nice! At least you have the hard part done, the rest should be pretty easy.
Glad I could help.

great job on your vhf radio mounting thats exactly ware i install mine the only thing i ware the antena was mounted it will interfere with fishing pols but i know that the only way to place a big antena because ur bimini tower.

Here's a possible option for our smaller boats ---- a quick connect VHF antenna. The whip is only 3' but I like the idea of no rigid antenna getting in my way.

does anybody had these problem with their trailer?

 

[Danielmailin]

I have not seen it on mine, I will put it up on a jack and check.
What was the dealer response?

They want me to drive 1 1/2 hr to the dealer but i dont think is safe but i call the tire manufacturer Carlisle and they will send free of charge 2 tires and rims, that's the fastes and safe way of doing these replacement.

I dropped my boat into my slip on the lake this past weekend and drove my trailer home no issues rode just fine.

Where did you mount the transducer? Can you send me a pic. I also have the dragonfly but not sure where the best spot to mount the transducer is.

Here you go. Made a few runs on havasu with it and just recently out of dana point , CA. No issues and works great.

Hi sir, I've had my FSH since September of last year. I notice the wobbling tires on the trailer right away but since I'm a new boat owner I futures it was normal. Now that I've seen your video I feel that my trailer is having the same problem. I see you mentioned the manufacture Charlisle above but just curious if you still had the contact info you used when you reached to them? I'd like to try reaching out to them as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello joey
I talk to Ronda at 18002607959 ext 4456
Explain your problem and tell her that you fill that is very dangerous to drive your trailer like that.
She had mine replaced and i still had the problem and i went ahead and purchase some alluminum rims and new Radial tires and they reimbursed me i spend about $ 450
But i had them paid for them
Thay dont have good quality on their tire and rims.
Hope this helps.

Hey guys i was looking to buy one of the fsh version. Wich model do you prefer and why, the deluxe or the sport one?? I live on the seashore and i am boating/fishing must of the time in salt water, do you guys think this could become an issue with jetboat like that?
Thanks for your help guys!

I like the look of the t-top more but find with my collapsible bimini it has a larger shaded area. What type of boat are you used to running? I would spend some time reading through posts in these forums before making a decision. My wife loves the boat for recreation however for purely fishing I find the boat is lacking in a lot of areas. No place to really install power poles without defeating the purpose of an open swim platform. Do you just like to stay inshore? These only have a 30 gallon fuel tank and burn 6gph at half throttle and 13gph at full throttle. I don't like slow putting out to my fishing holes want to get up on plane and GO!! Several upgrades need to be performed on these boats right after purchase and lots of quality checks to make sure everything is sealed properly and valves installed correctly.

I went red fishing with my uncle in Steinhatchee Florida and with power poles we could easily anchor each time we found a school of reds. Definitely realized how much those are needed while inshore fishing and trying to stay quiet.

@Toni gasse both boats will do fine in the salt water if you stay on top of your cleaning and maintenance. I love the sport model for salt water fishing. The deluxe model seems like it would be better suited for freshwater fishing.

Ya thanks! I was reading pretty much all of the forum on that boat and it seem like a "cant go wrong" kinda boat. I used to boat a trophy 21' boat with inboard 5,7l but i always was really interested in yamaha quality lol!! I use the boat for 50/50 familly or fishing with friends time so more i am looking at the reviews i think it could be a good boat for my familly tubing and fun or for my fishing trip with the boys!!
Thanks guys
