Looking good. Aren't those cummins sweet.

Glad you got out an had a good day. Something about that sunrise over the light house that I never get tired of.

Jimmy,

You're the Quentin Tarantino of the sandbox, hands down.

That's what it's all about.

Best B31 vids on the net!! Looks great!!

Yes they are sweet, I don't know why but the boat handles and rides much better then my last not to mention its pushes the boat effortlessly, I put on the larger props so i'll have numbers to post soon

The 31 likes weight if its distributed properly. Most times it is not.

Its clear Jimmy nailed the refit. Awesome, awesome job.

Whoa, Bruce, they will revoke your Mean team card. One Awesome was plenty...

Jimmy your boat looks great, we saw you out there last Sunday.

Cool thanks for the pictures

cool video, thanks for sharing....congrats

Way cool Jimmy.
Good to see you enjoy the fruits of your labour.

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.

Neil,

Speaking of pictures, I got a bunch of you down at the Hudson this summer. I need your address and I will send them to you on a stick.

Hope you and the fam are well!

And believe me you will ad on more stuff in and on your boat in the feature..

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!

Than.ks. Nice set-ups
