1001 Questions!

[Jeff Miller]

Maybe not a thousand, but here goes. I am purchasing a new 1850 Crestliner. From my research I am going to go with a Garmin 168 GPS/Sonar on the console and a Pinpoint 7420 on the bow to go along with a MotorGuide Tour ES 82lb. thrust 60" shaft. Putting on a Yamaha 150 HPDI VMAX with a T8 kicker. I could go into a list nearing 1001 questions, but I would like to get peoples opinoins on the set up. Boat has not been ordered and nothing is in stone. I have also looked at a 2003 Mr. Pike, but like the 1850 better. Please help me make the right choices.

I have a 1850 Sportfish on order now too. Mine will be wearing a 'Rude175 for go motion. I chose the Evinrude because I could max out HP with the rebate on the D.I. motors. I'm going with a Garmin 182 GPS because you can double the features for $200 more compared to a 168. I also chose a MK 65 AP troller, I've never had a Auto Pilot motor but I was less than satisfied with the Motorguide on my last boat so it is time for a change. Sounds like you have given a lot of thought to your set-up. What trailer will it be on?
