Hummingbird has been nothing shy of great for me. I have the helix 7 with side and down scan on the family boat. Has definitely helped me put some more in! Just don't tip it over. Happy fishing!

Really nice, Greg. That new 'Yak does ride low in the bow, it appears! I think my next 'Yak will have to be the 12.5 Titan X though, as I tend to carry way too much "Stuff" on my Titan 10.6 - as it IS...! Lol. I really like that 3 hp Newport on the back of your New 'Yak (kinda wished I'd gone with it, instead of the 1.8 hp motor!). Great Video, and look forward to more of your Adventures in the New 'Yak. (You're an inspiration to ALL of us, out here!).

The graph setup is sweet. You’re gonna love the birds, the lakemasters alone are worth it, I have livescope and wish I had 360. Livescope really shines ice fishing but I don’t think you really have to worry about ice where you’re at 😂

Funny you dropped this vid. I was literally thinking of you selling me one of your yaks because it was about time for you to get a new one. Nice rig! The only thing missing is a powerpole. I fish the Delta and during certain times a PP is useful. I wish boondox would build a wratchet/motorized type system so we're wheels up without having to pull them out manually.
