Boat looks unbelievable!




I remember those cold grey November/December days out on the water. Icy cold air, nose running, fish biting.
I can't say I miss it much...the toasty indoor home projects don't seem quite as bad this year.

very nice Jimmy , your boat is beautiful and hauls ass with those engines !!
I would stick to the latest set of props , your tests runs were in flat seas , when it gets rougher you have something left !
And believe me you will ad on more stuff in and on your boat in the feature..
good luck with her !!!

Women are like boats ,the older they get , the more money and professional help they need to look beautiful.

Wow. Boot looks perfect, and looks like a nice day of fishing. It looked like you had umbrellas on spinning reels. Were you trolling with those, or jigging or what. I troll umbrellas, but have never tried them any other way. love the screen shot with the fish layered on the bottom.

Trolling, they are my White marlin spinners (Thunnus) and Penn stand up rods I normally have 30# mono on them (caught a 200# Blue on one and lost a 200# Bigeye boat side with that set up) but I switched the spools to run 60# power pro. My friend had his old wire line filled senators OMG I forgot how bad we had it in the 70's!
