If I ever contemplate selling Shambala, someone please show me that video... My God, I'm tearing up and it's not even my 31 or my family! I have four years until my oldest son leaves for college and I'm already dreading it.
Jimmy, how did you have the transom box set up on that boat? I was watching the blue marlin video on your YouTube channel and it piqued my interest. Was it a kill box/cooler; was it plumbed as a live well?

Thanks Capt PatThat boat was definitely a memory maker my Son and daughter are now 26 & 24 boy time goes by fast! My son graduated from WVU and is in a up coming TV show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=p ... lDm0S2fQhQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; )daughter works at Revel in Atlantic City, I'm building this 31 with thoughts of grand kids coming in the next few years.
John I made that box before I was able to buy any that are made now and I modified it through the years, It was insulated fish box. At one time i thought it would make a good live well ....until i stopped and 50 gallons of water started sloshing back and forth blowing the lids off ... LOL that was the end of that!
