I have searched and haven't found one on the Forum so I thought I would start one. What is your best modification to your boat, whether it be engine, cosmetic, fishing related, it doesn't matter. Let me know please
Thanks

Most of my work so far has been fixing, replacing, repairing and upgrading stuff so far.
But I did install this folding table for grillin' and doing fish.

Greetings,
Mr./Ms. D. Welcome aboard. We have a 23' Penn Yan sport fish that originally came with an ice box for a fridge. Ice would only last for just over a day, or so. About 3 years ago we added a solar panel and 2-way (12v/110v) fridge. Now we can stay out for days without danger of food spoilage or battery drain. Nope. Not a trawler but we DO cruise with her.

When we were looking for our current boat my wife didn’t want our Formula since it has very narrow side decks and a walk through windshield. She is fairly unstable and somewhat tipsy at times. So I told her that if we got the boat I would install bow and stern thrusters so she would not have to go on the bow to handle dock lines. We bought the boat and over the first winter I installed the thrusters. We keep permanent bow dock lines attached to the bow cleats and lead them back to the stern spring cleats. When we are docking she stands by the stern and when we get to the dock she steps off the stern with the stern line and secures it and then walks forward to the bow line and takes it off the stern spring cleat and walks it forward and ties it off on the dock. Best thing we have added to this boat.
