Matt,
He probably does, but, I'd check out the info Mark S. gave you...I think that I'd pay the extra $ and do it right.

JohnCranston

I appreciate it, Bob. You're not kidding about all of those cool goodies on the Everglades...keeps me up at night also.

JohnCranston

We went to the Houston boat show yesterday and there was a big Everglades...I think a 29, but, anyway, the running lights were led flush mounted in the hull just under the rub rail. The thing about these lights was that they were machined out of heavy stainless and extremely nice. Bob, I know that y...

JohnCranston

Let us know the dates and where to find a hotel after things are firmed up.
Need airport info also.
Much thanks.

JohnCranston

Pretty scary stuff that I'm hearing on this thread...I think that I'll go back to wade fishing. After being rescued by the Coast Guard several years ago, a hundred miles offshore, this kind of verbage still gives me the creeps.

JohnCranston

Scott,
If you were sporting a mullet, you would be 7 and a half foot tall.You need a low rider cut like D. McKinney..It makes him look not so bearish...neaning that you can take him somewhere without people fingering there mase can.

JohnCranston

Matt,
Yeah, the trailer is mine. You can borrow it if you need it...18,000 lbs load rated.

JohnCranston

Mark,
Just charge it..it's like free money. You guys stay warm also. I'm getting ready to dig into a bottle of pennsylvania Dutch egg nog to get me in the Christmas spirit. Check you later, pal.

JohnCranston

Mark,
Yeah, those other tournaments are small time compared to ours. The Tuna Jackpot sounds like a good and affordable time...I'd like to do that one sometime. When are we going ice fishing?
Thanks for the post, Mark.

JohnCranston

Matt,
Thanks, man. The spray rails were built by Salvador and really knock down the spray. Kip has the same on his boat. Did you take a look in the cabin and cockpit? Did your buddy throw down on the 50 Bert?

JohnCranston

we had Rhino-liner in our last truck and Line X in our new truck...we like Line X much better...hands down

JohnCranston

We'd sure like to make this one if there's room. Let us know.

JohnCranston

August,
The same to you and your family, sir.

JohnCranston

Joef,
My bahia mar's cabin is fared and painted...the whole cabin including headliner...smooth as a baby's butt.

JohnCranston

Port Eads? It's been a while...don't the goats eat the trash there?

JohnCranston

Harry,
Man, you're not kiddin bot the cold! I've been wearing my snuggy for the last month now. I don't think people down here have caught on yet...they keep looking at me funny when I'm sporting it at the restaurants.

JohnCranston

Brewster,
That's some good info...really like the part about the zip tie. Seems like you guys have to pull your boats right when it really starts happening. It sounds like a great time. Knock em dead.

JohnCranston

Matt,
I might have to run down there on Sun. Reel Cowboy is parked next door to Dos Amigo's getting the finishing touches done to her. Give me a call at 713-906-0842 and I'll tell you how to get there to take a look.

JohnCranston

Scott,
I'll wear thick gloves.
Matt,
Have Leon give me a call sometime.

JohnCranston

Matt, Oh, you're a drinking man? Are you? Well then, you're in the brotherhood! Salvador Duran lives at the corner of 9th st. and ave.E in Baycliff. Take 646 into Baycliff and take a right on 9th and go about a hundred yards to ave.E...he's the last house on the left just before ave.E. Cell 281-799-...

JohnCranston

Andre, Pretty rough. Nothing compared to Brian Barragy's 31's. Mechanically, she ran very smooth with no vibrations, and was extremely quiet. The cockpit was fairly cluttered up and was kind of hard for me to get around. Mike and his crew made up for all of this, and, we've already booked him for ne...

JohnCranston

Matt, Salvador is also known as the grand pooba of fiberglass and does his work in a restricted compound surrounded by armed guards. . You have to be a member of our secret lodge to get access to him. Sorry, but thats the rules written by our elders. If you want to become a member, send me a hundred...

JohnCranston

Kip,
I want a ride out to the lumps sometime.

JohnCranston

I know that down here in South Tx., thousands of pounds of processed hog meat are donated to the less fortunate. I'd much rather eat a sow that weighs in at 70 or 80 lbs than I would a whitetail any day of the week. I just got some sausage back that was made with 50%red stag and 50%feral hog meat......

JohnCranston

Kip and Richard, Dos Amigo's quoted a marlin tower 3 years ago for under $14k for Reel Cowboy...$23k sounds like a bunch of cash...but there is a convenience factor to consider...Jason is right around the corner from Salvador's. The thing about Dos Amigo's is that, they've done several towers before...

JohnCranston

Richard, I think that Jason is the guy running Milleneum, and I hear that he does nice work. I've got one other shop in mind named Dos Amigo's Boat Works in Freeport 979-239-2940. Noe is the name of the owner and Charlie is the name of the welder. It might be easier for Noe and Charlie to come over ...

JohnCranston

John says that you can come help him with some of his projects. That would be blessing me, I can share!!!

Pam

JohnCranston

Matt

John does not know this boat. No computer in Freeport so I am reading it to him over the phone. Says stay with your 31.

Pam

JohnCranston

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone...from the Cranston family.

JohnCranston

Good game, sir. I got my stuff packed for the ice fishing trip. I'll call you next week.

JohnCranston

Harv, I know how you feel, brother...
Mark, who are the Packers gonna lose to this Sunday? Put that in your igloo and snoke it...

JohnCranston

Chris,
I'm doing cartwheels! Thank you very muchfor the great info. Much better than the 170's that I preveous had.Fantastic news.

JohnCranston

Bob,thanks man, next time around will be with the Ten Point crossbow at 175 lbs pull. I bought it a couple of months ago but havint had the time to sight it inwith the laser sight. UV, those kind words burn deep into my soul...that was the best week of my life...great people, great food, great fishi...

JohnCranston

Bob,
Thanks for the run down...I've heard that the 32 was a good looking boat.
Chris,
That's good news...something to look forward to. Are you running 1.5 or 2to 1 gears? Any numbers on the burn at cruise? Many thanks for everyones responses.

JohnCranston

Sim, What I didn't tell you, was that Jim, the man that I was with, was a bit on the portly side and was sporting an incredibly huge noggin...some might consider it a somewhat bulbous pumkin head. Anyway, when he positioned his large cranium behind the scope, I had to move my substancial gord over a...

JohnCranston

Sashimi for Thanksgiving?
Blue fin a mile off the beach?
I'm jealous...go get them guys.

JohnCranston

Good info everyone, The timing belt swap doesn't sound so scary anymore. Bob, any numbers on the fuel burn on that Luhrs? My Yanmars are in a bahia mar. Brewster, I think that you have the 315's with a 1.5 ratio, don't you? Anyone else? I'm already planning our first long range trip even though we'r...

JohnCranston

Has anyone ever compared them at a cruise speed using a Floscan? I've heard that the Yanmars burned a little less. I know that every boat is different, but, I'm just trying to figure if the difference over 1100 engine hours might save up enough to cover the LP's timing belt swap. It's probably a dum...

JohnCranston

Thanks guys, We were hunting the "Triple R" ranch in Gonzales Tx...about 10 miles North of I-10 between Houston and San Antonio. I was with a man that had the shakes real bad due to a bad case of Parkinsons and can't shoot very well past 50 yards or so. He said there's a big red one out there about ...

JohnCranston

What more can I say! The've let me down too many times in the last few seconds. My heart can't take it anymore. I'm gonna start following the Vikings, and good luck for everyone else and there teams. All I know is, I'm done with the Texans, and for that matter, the Astros also.

JohnCranston

Meat hunt, blind guy shots 320lb Red Stag with Weatherby 300 Mag...how he did it I will never know. Beautiful wife Pam "2" Axis Does - both shoulder shots - first two kills with 7mm.08. Tina Moody - Red Stag - shoulder shot - first kill with 7mm.08. The 7mm was shot three times and there were three ...

JohnCranston

Attached are a few pictures of the Striped Marlin caught in Cabo in the "Black & Green". The bill is turned up...I could not get it all the way in the picture; fin looked like someone took a bite out of it. It was a great trip. Mike of "Renegade Mike" is in the turquise shirt holding the marlin. Gre...

JohnCranston

Dan, All you have to do is rough up and clean the area that you want to non skid, tape off the area and apply. The stuff worked great with top siders on, and was also easy on the bare feeties. Here's the number 206-579-4017...talk to Willy. Matt, Give me a call at 713-906-0842. If the water clears u...

JohnCranston

Matt, I also have the Awlgrip with the 2 non skid particles mixed. Come on down and take a look if you want. Renegade Mike and Kip have Kiwi Grip that is pretty cool. It's a one part paint that you roll on and then go over with a roller to give you the texture. It's thick and seems like a piece of c...

JohnCranston

I found a mew mix for the Fire fly vodka. Try it with sugar free mixed berry green tea...Lipton, or anything else. I did a poll with the neighbors, and it came out like this...50% Crystal Light...50% mixed berry green tea.
I'm cool with either.

JohnCranston

The SSI 320 holds ice great, just don't drag them on the ground...there's no runners on the bottom and the plastic is real thin and you'll wear it down to the foam. Nowhere near as heavy duty as a Yetti.

JohnCranston

Matt, The deck heights seem to be about the same. I heard that the older models were a bit lower...don't really know the truth on that one. You must be having issues with your tank now? Right ? The flounder run should be getting close to ramping up. I need an invite to come over to the Yacht Basin a...

JohnCranston

Matt,
I had LLC 31 make a 270 gal tank about 6 years ago. It came out nice. It's made out of fiberglass, so you'll probably want to go another route. Come on down to Freeport and take a look.

JohnCranston

John, Carl called me a couple of weeks ago and said that they were about ready to splash her. He was very proud and I know that you and your dad are also. Very impressive. As far as the tips go in Cabo...First, you must be completely blind. I apparently ended up this way by masterbating too much as ...

JohnCranston

John,
Those numbers sound great! Please give us more performance data when available. Where can my wife see some pics of the final product with the tower on?
Thanks.
