Just purchased my 1st boat in June from Hooked on the Bay in MD (great people) and some great advice from a friend who turned me on to Triumph.... I ended up with a 170CC w/70HP Susuki, Lowrance 525c, Minkota 55. First trip to Avalon in NJ netted 2 Dogfish and a sunburn...oh well. The trip was more of a learning experience then anything. The Susuki 70 is absolutely amazing. Also had the boat out about 5 times to Marsh Creek PA (electric only), can be a bit boring but a great place to learn the ins and outs of the Lowrance...launching...etc. and not a bad bass lake.
