So, since I have the transom open, I'm replacing the deck drains. Sounds simple enough. I wanted to go with a flapper type scupper. I did not want to have to make the hole in the hull larger. After researching online and at stores I found that 1-1/2 inch is too big. The original equip is...

My Florida buddy got out on a Key West boat. can you say SNAPPER?

Did our annual trip to Shawnee, PA for golf & canoeing. Beautiful weather & scenery. Water was low, only got a couple of small smallmouth but a great time never the less. Here is a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOYc538KrkM

took a detour on the transom project. Too cold to do fiberglasssing. Want to mount a second bilge pump forward of the fuel tank in the "fishbox". Floor of fish box is soft anyways so I cut the bottom out. In pic you can see the wet foam coring in the fishbox bottom and you can see a bunch of...

The snow is gone and the boat is in the driveway. Removed the swim platform, various screws, and loosened the rub-rail. Stared at it for a long time... Need to borrow a motor jack & build a stand. See link...

My buddy in FL has been on the tiles whenever its flat enough to fish. Wish I could go down there...

It is a sad day today. My brother's Aquasport 290 sunk at the dock in Pompano Beach.We had some great times on that boat. She's been very neglected for many years since he doesn't live there anymore. But his dock was free so she stayed in the water and the neighbors kept an eye out and ran it...

Pulled the V20 today. Went on my new trailer crooked 3 times so I left it. Parked it with a wheel in a hole to level it out. Not sure if it is an adjustment needed to the spread of the rollers. Seems to always slip off of the strakes on one side. Maybe I just need to find the right depth to dip...

I got out today 11/10. Gorgeous flat November V20 weather so we blew off stripers and went deep looking for bft. Didn't find any tuna but what a great boat ride! Put the GoPro to good use. http://youtu.be/6OMfTZmE4Fc?list=UU4FkjTX21znGospVOD6EJuw We did bring all the freezer-burnt bait I had to...

The plan was to get back to the black sea bass but I gave the beach a try early for stripers on acres of bunker. Got a 23# and 33# on live bunker and broke one off on a jig. In front of the gun range at Sea Girt 25-40 ft of water. Between 845am and 10 am. By 10 am it got too breezy for me to...

A friend of mine in FL ran over to the Bahamas this weekend. 21 wahoo!:happy: and a Blue marlin release

Got out today 10/20 anchored up on the Morania (Sea Girt reef) at 915. Picked away at shorts with a few keepers for an hour then it turned on hard. Fish on as soon as it hit bottom for the last hour. Clam bait. Mostly 12" shorts but a nice pick of keepers. and NO BERGALS!!! Unfortunately, the...

Been worried about my trailer which I do nothing to except squirt some grease twice a year. After launch this season a rusty bolt broke and the self-adjusting roller arm dragged the ground as I pulled off the ramp. If it had been the other bolt, my baby would be lying in the road. So... 4...

http://youtu.be/vOVaCfBY7rk Got out on another boat looking for tuna at the Chicken Canyon. Good thing we took the 31cc Edgewater cuz it was not V20 weather on the ride out. Caught no tuna but did see a 70#bft gaffed on another boat. We trolled up a 3 and a 9 pound mahi to save from being...

Ran out this afternoon 16 miles to shark river reef. Looking for cod and found some. 3 keepers 4 just shorts, some red hake, a really nice bsb and a surprise Tog on a jig. Camera was dead (turned out the battery was backwards). got a couple good cell phone pix then it died. Beautiful ride out...

Launched! then caught a dozen short fluke in the Manasquan river. I hope to get out sunday. Depending on seas will stay close for stripers on bunker. If flat I'll run out to Mud Hole. Hit the "cod grounds" first then maybe drift for sharks. My brother was out last sunday teaching his boss to...

Took the canoe to Shawnee,Pa for some golf & fishing. We had a handful of smallies like this and one was 18", also a couple dozen of those rock bass/redeyes(the sunfish not striped bass). Awesome scenery, plenty of deer, a bald eagle with 2 chicks, a mink and a beaver. Bonus points for...

Well my cod fishing trip delayed my launch so I got more things done! New backrest for cooler seating. Finished up the dash. Added a skunk stripe to the gunnels to hide a row of old epoxy filled holes. AND....mounted outriggers on the hardtop! Gonna have a nice tuna spread this season.:sly...

getting things done! devised a plan and executed a rod rack in the cuddy. I used 2x4 vinyl fencing to support a rack I bought at West Marine. Secured with stainless sheet metal screws and Loctite tub-surround glue. need the glue because at far ends you can't get a screw gun in there. Spent...
