I have both and they each have their place. I installed a gps/fish finder, they each have a transducer and just swap the main unit. On the jet ski I have a separate sealed battery for the gps and also for a sump pump I installed. Has 2 flush mount pole holders and use a kayak fish bag that straps on the back. I have water towing and always carry a floatable vhf radio, basic tools, food and water. I make sure to be anal about maintenance and service. Use it for scuba or freediving, when freediving can easily take another diver and get where you want fast. Downside is when the water gets rough. Someone on another board said it well, "its like riding a mechanical bull for hours with someone spraying you in the face with a hose". Still love it though and still use the kayak. Do an internet search, there are many ideas on the subject.
Good luck!

Cold and wet says it, lately we've had nice air temps though. Great place to dive, not the bright colors and good viz of warm waters but lots of life.

Thanks everyone. Yeah treebilly3 searun is close, we dove a few times. Been busy the past year with work. Getting my jet ski together lately, mounted my gps/fish finder now making a gear rack for it. Can't wait for lings to open up. Also might try spearing halibut this year.

Hi, my name is Mike. New to speardiver but not to spearing. I have done scuba spearing for a while, now I have been freediving for about 3 years (never new it existed in the pacific northwest) and have met some other freedive spearos since then. I love the freedom and simplicity of it. I picked up a pole spear and have been using it a lot more than my speargun. Hope to learn a lot here to better my skills and meet more fellow spearos.
