John-Wouldn't that be reason enough to oppose it? It gets more confusing every day.

The latest issue of The Fisherman has an ad in it for a charter boat out of New Bedford Mass. named the Onset Chief Express. It's a 38 ft Fountain Tournament Center Console powered by four 300 hp outboards. The ad says it's the "World's Fastest Offshore Charter Boat! She cruises at 70 loaded, top en...

John Kerry is the epitome of "doublespeak" and you will not know how he will vote until after it's all over...and then he will deny it. How anyone could have thought this man was Presidential material speaks volumes about brains behind the Democratic Party.

The guy's in Juneau Alaska. I suspect he doesn't have too many options and reliability is more important to him than speed.

In Memory Walter K

The boat has to be a Sportsfisherman that had the lower stations seat removed, cabinets built and a standup head built on the starboard side where the Flybridge cruiser has it. The engine experts will have to come in on what those Cummins are. Wish they had taken better care of them.

Bet his parents couldn't get him to do his homework. Also bet he has all kinds of pinched nerve and joint problems by the time he hits 40. Boy, was that fun!

Am I the only guy who has gone offshore on a lovely morning with a good weather report and has had to beat my way back like a sequence in "Victory at Sea"? I wouldn't have wanted to have been on anyone's center console thank you.

AND I assume add to the resale value of the vessel if/when you want to sell it.

In Memory Walter K

First-How many vents do you need? Gunnel mounted ones? I would suggest asking the Bretheren on swap and sell as I suspect there may be some laying around from refits. Even if you have to rechrome them, they're lifetine vents VS plastic. As far as $10,000 window frames are concerned. For less than th...

Marshall- I saw some guys at the cleaning table in Venice that were zipping through Redfish and Trout, but they were using those electric fillet knives. It looked like those were commonly used because there were electric plugs above the cutting boards. No one ever uses them up north, but I was amaze...

They seem to understand "kill", but not why it starts, what triggers abnormal growth, etc. They are quick to blame nasty or unpopular chemicals and gasses as potential sources, but steer clear of food additives, growth hormones in the beef, pork, lamb and chicken we eat, genetically engineered farmi...

From my experience, responses to the letters will be slow and necessitate a follow-up either by another letter or phone call. The request for a logo to add to a promotional T-shirt might be motivational to some. Given the Northeast's weather this year, the boating industry is still in a state of hib...

I agree the Cam Seiglers with the heavy lower sections and the fast tip (almost the same leverage concept as standup rods) are no fun to cast, but offshore where you're teasing/chumming fish up close, casting is nowhere near the issue as it is with 8-9-10 weights. Still, it's nice to have if you can...

In Memory Walter K

I don't think I've ever seen a 1 piece 13 to 15 weight being offered by any of the rod manufacturers. Big rod fishermen tend to be more experienced and don't high-stick very often. That's the point where ferrule failure would most often happen. Otherwise, the ferrules have mostly been a for travel i...

I have to say that after all my years of fishing, I have come to the conclusion that the shortfin Mako is the smartest fish that swims. I have shark fished since the days of Frank Mundus, and watched all kinds of sharks in a chum slick. I have even caught a small Great White, but a Mako in a chum sl...

Bob-It's the National Tree of the Island of Jamaica. My memory of it when I worked on Air Jamaica was that they considered it a very hard wood. How hard in terms of carpentry, I don't know.

Hatteras obviously knows and appreciates the value of what they have, Bertram doesn't seem to.

In Memory Walter K

In my years in advertising and marketing, I have met some of the smartest people I have ever known. I have also met some of the dumbest. When Bertram started, they had some of the former. In recent years, more of the latter. They're living off their past and don't even know it...or taken advantage o...

Don't laugh, I was in a restaurant in Damascus, Syria back in the 60's and on the menu was "Birds (12)". My cousin ordered them and sure enough, out on a plate came a brace of 12 roasted sparrows/robins (?) heads and all.I asked him how they were and his answer was "crunchy".

In Memory Walter K

Bertramp is absolutely right. The guy in the next slip from me was a resident of New Jersey with a documented boat, and they nailed him. Used to be that documented boats did not need state registration because they were Federally registered...no more. It's all about $$$$.

In Memory Walter K

They changed the rules in NY at least. You're in a NY slip for over 30 (?) days and you have to have a NY state registration no matter where you're from or where you bought it. That comes with an 8.25% tax on what you payed for it the last time I looked.

At least put the lines in while everything is exposed. Finish up when you can afford it, or you feel your cable system is on it's last legs.

Boy, talk about beautiful center consoles!

We're the best advertising for their products that they have...and that's from a guy who spent 43 years of his life doing advertising!

Don't know any of the circumstances, but sounds like a strong argument for the old adage "stick with the boat". Sad.

Sounds VERY familiar...and it was a long time ago! Man, amazing how the brain stores it. Now if we can figure out how to recall it on demand.

I've just spent an hour looking for anything I might have on my old 440s before I converted to diesels to no avail...so far. I will tell you, if you have counter rotating 440's, the firing orders are different. Ask me how I know....

The first and only doable possibility would be the getting rid of Lubichenco, and the only way to do that would be to replace Obama at the next election with hopefully, a fisherman Republican or Independent.

I used it as a parallel analogy. Stop exploration (in anything) and you'll be beholding to those who do.

But Giff, we're stupid enough to stop oil drilling and exploration in America yet complain constantly about America's dependence on foreign oil. Oh, by the way, expanding those areas makes jobs for the unemployed. Am I a rocket scientist, or what?

In Memory Walter K

Ethanol is a fact of life every one of us has tried to deny. Change the tank or convert to diesels. If you don't, you'll eventually change the tank and two engines. Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news.
