BOAT

Model: 2009 1825 Pro-Guide
Length: 18' 4"

The 1825 PRO-Guide with a roller trailer allows me to get into the small lakes and still use a sizeable boat.  The spacious layout is perfect for guiding, but still can handle the large water.

MOTOR
Make: Mercury
HP: 90
Model: Optimax - Tiller

Rob's OptiMax tiller is equipped with Mercury's Big Tiller handle and hydrolic steering assist which Rob says "Is awesome!  Great for long rides, and just like the Verado, if you let go, nothing changes on your steering direction!"

I prefer to run my boats from the back with the bow mounted trolling motor. This allows my clients first cast on the water and also allows for flawless boat control while working structure. With the wireless Motorguide I have the option of infinite locations. I can use either the remote or wireless footpedal and move around the boat at will.
