Finally my 2024 Starcraft Fishmaster has come in. It's been killing me to miss this early season coho!I got off work early today to go over the new boat with the guys doing the rigging and made sure we were all on the same page. They are going to be going to town on it as i leave, tentatively for Erie one week from today but that may get pushed back a week.
I was extremely impressed what Starcraft did for this model year- going with the flat dash and extra rear livewell. I will be going all out in adding extras as I believe I will have the sweetest Fishmaster in the country, lol. I will post some pics as it sits getting ready for it's makeover. I will also show a pic of the old dash with its raised instrument cluster to compare with the new one.
Here's a list of most of the addons

Looks like you'll have a great fish catching machine when your done. Just remember to use heavier ropes when you tie it up. Nobody wants a repeat disaster.

Thanks.....I don't think any sized ropes could have prevented that......I ripped out the dock cleats at first, then ripped out the actual 30 ft dock and was dragging it down the shore line....... sometimes mother nature just wins...... I will say I will never stay at that resort again .....
