New Power Pictures, Large Photos

[stripminer]

Her public debut... I left the pictures large intentionally, bigger is better !! Enjoy

The new baby,, 05 Carbed Yamaha 150

A wider shot of the new baby attached to my 88 Steplift, can you say room for fishing?

Different angle of the V-20's enormous deck space, some say it's like a 25 footer !! Those corner pieces you see are for a removable 100 Qt cooler that has a cushion seat.

The helm area,, simplicity rules.

Closeup of the helm, ,clean uncluttered , just how I like my life.

I hope you all enjoy the photos, I really have been motivated by you all here to embrace my boat as gem and to keep her nice. Thanks for that !!

I guess I should get a Gallery huh ?? Who do I get the password from again ??

Looking real good!!~!

Hope someday I can repower with a brand new motor!!

Boat does look clean and in order!!

I had the cooler brackets in my boat when I got it, But I kept triping over them all the time so I got rid of them.

Looking good strip! Where are you out of? I'm docked in Norwalk harbor.

 

[Blue_Runner]

Strip - that's a fine lookin ride you got. I like the unclutter look. I'm thinkin your into fishing due to the lack of seating - I'm with you on that! My wife complains all the time that I don't have enough seats in my boats. I tell her TOUGH (then I wake up and go put a couple of those back to back loungers in there for her - YES DEAR, RIGHT AWAY DEAR).

I've got my motor off of my V20 now and I've got a fiberglass guru coming to take a look at her on Monday (I know, Monday is Memorial day but he said he'd come anyway??).

I SEE YOU HINGED THE GAS HATCH, PRETTY COOL IDEA

 

[Pipe_Dream]

Really nice, Strip! 8)
Yeah, to echo CT, where are you from? We all want to know!

 

[stripminer]

The Stripminer hails from the Striper fertile waters of Greenwich, CT. These pictures were taken this morning at about 0610 before I went in to work. I woke up thinking about my girl and had to go check on her. The hinges are actually affixed to a hatch that covers a large bait well Franco.

I am off tonight hoping to tie into a few cow bass that have been cruising around my area. I am right on the CT / NY border on LIS. I can see the Throg's Neck Bridge and the Whitestone from where I am going to fish tonight.

 

[Pipe_Dream]

I had to ask . . . those windows looked like they were fogged with a little Carolina morning dew. 8)
Good luck tonight!

 

[CT_V-20]

i'm home right now and we just had a line of t-storms come through. given the tide times, i'm going out tomorrow at sunrise, we'll compare notes. it's calm right now as the storms seem to be done. good luck!

 

[stripminer]

I hit the water this morning 5-28 after having to head in last night because of those pending T-storms CT-V20. We managed one really nice 16 lb bass on a chunk of bunker around 8:30 AM as the tide bottomed out. How's that Bombardier running ?? feels great doesn't it ??

Strip...I'm jealous...anybody who can leave their boat in the water has got it made....I gotta pull at least hr and 15 mins to closest ramp...it's SO NICE to just walk out to the boat and step on... 8)...the stripers sound good , too!!... ;D...

Like Franco, I was thinkin' gas tank, too...yours must be late 80s...wasn't gas tank forward of bait-well in earlier models?...

 

[phester]

Mornin' RAP, did I read that correctly, hour and a quater to the ramp?, you are truly a dedicated boater!

 

[phester]

P.S. hey strip, I like your set-up, and likewise w/ me clean and uncluttered. Good luck w/ the new power.I also live beachfront on the sound, Northport,N.Y. On a clear day, mid sound I can see N.Y. city skyline [to my west]probably 30-40 miles to you by boat

 

[macojoe]

Hey rep, I might as well jumpm in and rub it a little harder! I live 1 mile to the closest ramp and then I have one 3 miles then 2 different ones with in 10 miles ;D

Thats the good news!! The bad news I only use one that is 10 miles away in the spring, the rest of the summer I have to trailer 23 miles to the Falmouth ramp, and 21 miles to the Chatam ramp. :'(

 

[stripminer]

Would it be mean of me to mention that I can grab the key and walk to my boat in five minutes ?? I live up the street from the marina.

This is a shot of Manhatten from my fishing trip this morning. Check the fishing section for the results.

by they way I hit 44 MPH at WOT this morning when I ducked my head behind the windshield !!!

 

[reelapeelin]

Yeah, you guys close to the ramp (23mi...MJ, my old heart BLEEDS)...and in the water...hope you know how good you got it... 8)...one of these days...

Strip, looks like your Yammie's beatin' my Honda by about 2mph at WOT....go get 'em, man...looks like I'm gonna have to go ahead w/ that 200 E-Tec....maybe in the fall... ...
