Dang, them's some nice rocks! Looks like a great day was had by all.

JP,

Nice to see it done and having fun with your son, My son is 7 and it may take two years to float mine...Hope to post a similar picture..BH

That's what it's all about!
Congrats!

There is nothing better than harvesting sea creatures with the boy, unless you just have girls. Nice fat fish and the deck looks awsome.

Looks like your off the highlands, nice fish. I hear they are doing well in the Raritan as well.

Assume looking cockpit!

nice, the big girls are just starting to show around here. i give it another week

Nothing big yet, maybe 25lbs on the last trip. Going this afternoon with the boy and girl see if they're still hanging around.

Game On!!!!!!!

JP...

Great pic and great catch! Nothing beats boating/fishing with your kids, or in my case now, the grandkids!

Also.. a beautiful cockpit! Is the wood coaming trim laminated or cut from solid chunks?

JP-

Great picture. There is nothing that's as much fun as catching with your kid. Smiles like that are priceless.

JP,
I hope my wife never sees you boat it is absoulty awsome!!
She loves the teak and I hate the up keep.
Awsome boat.

Good stuff JP,

I made the mistake of showing the wife the picture and she loves the teak...I have the same problem Frank does. It looks fantastic and the look on your boy's face was worth all the hard work. As a kid my dad and I were always fart'in around with boats together.

He will remember the sound of those diesels, salt spray and rollin around out there catch'in fish for the rest of his lfe. Good for you.

its great to hook your kids into something you both enjoy......that way when they are 16 and dont want to be on the same planet with you...there is still something you can share ....great shot!!

Boy, what a great pic. I have a new grandson and I'm in a count down mode for age. He's eight months old.

But we have 2 twin granddaughters who are eight yrs old.

Hey, CWJ - Please let me know when the big ones arrive!

just starting, i give it a week or two

jr and i went with jp tues afternoon and had four good ones and three real happy kids thanks again jp, sorry i didnt bring enough beer

the boys smile is priceless and he will remenber good times with his dad more then all the toys in the world.as usual jp you do the right thing.

Got these shots back today thought I'd share.




Boat leaves 0 dark thirty tommorow and friday see you guys up there.
First Thresher caught in the pound nets, bunkers up to the red church, its like Christmas.

JP

Real Pretty. Good luck. Looking at your boat, you just have to think about how popular they woudl still be if Bertram still made them today. One of the prettiest boats on the water. Tony Meola

WOW!! That Boat looks HOT!! What a killer ride.

Very nice JP. Pictures like these are very inspiring for guys in the middle of a restoration project (like me) Keeps me focused on the light at the end of the tunnel. Also, enjoyed the article in "The Edge"
