A while back I signed up for a fishing rod building class put on by Mudhole.com. Today was the class and I have to say I had a blast. If you find one of these classes coming to a town near you I highly recommend it. We even had guys in the class fly in to take it from other states. We got to...

Went and trolled for some stipers today in the lower Chesapeake. 20” limit, 2/guy. We got 6 keepers and probably threw back 35 17-19 inchers. Good sign they’re moving on down the bay. Big boys should be here soon.

A body here have a top mount Yamaha control laying around they’d part with? Looking for one for a 04’ 70hp 2-stroke. I believe it’s a 704. Figured I’d see what kind of deal I could find before buying a new one.

So I’m compiling supplies to put new stringers, transom and floor in the V-21 hull I have for the center console conversion. I locally located an early 70’s flat cap center console junk hull. Pretty much stripped of everything and rotted to the core. But the cap has sparked my interest. Anyone...

Went offshore out of Wanchese last month and got right on the fish. Got on the grounds at 8am and caught our limit by 11:00am. Was back I. The truck with coolers full of meat by 3pm. All in all a good day other than 8-10’ seas but no one got sick. Here’s a few pics.

Seen a video of a guy passing this scene on Facebook yesterday ironically playing that country song “Buy me a boat”. Not sure if that’s the name of the song or not but you’ve probably heard it. Apparently the video going viral. Then today I was sent this picture by a buddy of mine asking how...

So since I sold my last V I’ve been looking for another one to tinker with. I’ve wanted to start from scratch and build a boat exactly like I want it. I’ve compiled some parts and the main thing I was missing was a hull. I have a console, motor, poly fuel tank, t-top, leaning post, rigging etc...

My father has a ‘72 center console V-20. Beautiful boat I might add. Last week he got it all ready to go for the first trip of the season and after filling it up with fuel noticed a fuel smell. I know he has 2 tanks. One is under the console on top of the floor and one beneath the floor. It...

Well it’s that time of year again. Time to get the boat cleaned up for Memorial Day boat fun. Hopped in the my Coastal this past weekend to get it cleaned up and found a few disappointments. First the floor is covered in oil from the helm to the stern. It appears a seal in the old power steering...

So the paint job on my 23’ Coastal is looking pretty rough. Almost went out today and started sanding on her to get some paint on the hull sides and started thinking about vinyl. I’ve looked online about buying a wrap and all I’m finding is crazy design wraps. All I’d want is a single plain...

Hey guys. So I picked up this little winter project however it***8217;s not for me. Money wise I don***8217;t see much value in this boat. It seems like something you would of ordered out of the Sears catalog back in the day. But there***8217;s a lot of sentimental value here. This boat belonged...

Well it***8217;s been a while and our 23***8217; Coastal has been treating us good this summer. But I stumbled upon this bad boy. Going today to look at it. Might be making a barter deal with the guy with a truck I have that just sits so might work out for me. It needs some love, looks like...

Hey guys. Today I wanted to update a thread of mine and can't see any of my pics. I see a sign that says update settings to allow 3rd party hosting. Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?

Sad day guys. My last remaining V-20 is on the market. I need the cash to finish up my new boat. Plans are in the future to find another V-20 fisherman and not let some jack leg tear the transom up. So anyways here's the blue boat. This should give me the funds to have the Coastal ready to go...

The Wellcraft Coastal I just picked up recently was stocked full of flares. I'm not imagining when I say there were at least 50 flares, some handheld, some of the pistol style. Apparently they just never disposed of them as there were some expiring from 1989- present day. How do you guys...

Sooo.... this happened today. What you are looking at is a 1985 Wellcraft Coastal 23'...and it's in my yard. This kinda happened quick. This boat popped up on our local Craig's for $2800. Advertised as a solid, running boat. I was nearby so I thought hey, why not go check it out. Definitely...

Anyone here have a newer style (98-up I believe) VRO pump laying around. Doesn't have to be in good working order, I actually just need a piece of the housing. I'll pay for it as well as shopping if you have one. I really don't want to buy a $400 pump when all I need is a small piece that broke.

Hi guys. I have a trailer with strictly electric brakes. It's a brand new trailer and the brakes seem to be fine on the trailer end. If I pull the emergency release cable they lock up. If I use a 12v source and touch the trailer cable in the 2 correct spots the brakes lock up. Here's where I...

Going to post my t-top here. It doesn't come with the hard top but I have the soft canopy although you'll probably want to replace it as well. Its a fully adjustable top but not a flimsy eBay top. It's very heavy duty and sturdy. I'll also sell the console with it. Console is in good shape. Has...
