No bass though. They had recently raised the water level dumping in a lot of cold water.
Even the tournament bass guys were commenting on how tough it was.

Had fun out there and the PA performed as expected!

OBTW: That cable is my transducer cable. I like the suction cup mounting method.

:D

Only a PA owner, knows the feeling another PA owner is experiencing.

Good to see you got it out on the water. How did the trailering and loading and unloading go?

It went well. I ended up using 2" sch 40 PVC with carpet and "keeper" straps both front and back. These hold the pipes during loading and unloading but allow for movement to follow the scupper line.

Put nearly 700 miles on the Malone without issue.

Nice Shred.

The wire you have hanging in the water, is that the tranducer?

Yep...it's on a suction cup mount.

That Lazy Daze motorhome brings back memories! I had an early 80's unit.
how much clearance do you have from the bottom of the PA to the cross bars?
Might I ask why the carpet on the PVC pipes?

I have about 3/4" of clearance to the bars. A little more on the front bar.
I carpeted the tubes to see if I could avoid scratching from coarse sand or other debris. Plus it gave me more clearance from the bars and its "cushioney".
