Re: Salt Water???
I get a little bit. I pull it once a year and hit it for about 5 minutes with a power washer and it's all good..

Re: North River Boats News
Lots of 26' North Rivers in my area.. I ran one for two seasons... Not impressed.

Re: Salt Water???
I leave my boat in the water 11 months a year.. And the harbor is hot from all the old commercial fishing boats. I have to replace zincs, but I've never bottom painted it.

Re: WTB 20'
A Pacific 1925 or 2025 with a 150 4 stroke is about as good as it gets, IMO. I recently went from a 90 to a 130hp engine on my 1925 Pacific and it really brought that boat alive! I scored a 130 Honda for cheap, and that was the reason for the upgrade. I'm thinking a 150 Honda 4 Stroke will be the ne...

Re: Pacific 2025V Fuel Tank Replacement?
I have a 2003 pacific and I don't have issues with fueling. I've ran enough North Rivers to know what a fueling problem is too...

New Guide Service
Well guys, I decided to start my own little guiding service up here in Alaska, in addition to the charter work I do during the peak of the season. With the economy the way it is, I figured a few people would appreciate an alternative to the expensive charters available up here. I'm using my 1925v Pa...

A walkaround is sure helpful if you are a charter guy in AK. Fishing four rods of the back in a 20kt wind, with a good tide, in 400ft of water will sure make you want to spread guys out. Get one halibut that wants to swim in circles on the way up and you'll have a tangle this will bring most men to ...

That always gets me when I see many of the cold climate boats. So little cockpit room, and so much cabin. I'd want more fishing room and just enough cabin so to sit people for the ride out and in. I agree 100%. Missed that on my first read. The boat I'm spending 73 days in this summer is all cabin,...

A guy doesn't understand the conditions of SE AK until he's actually in them. I've been fishing in a SE 30Kt this week and the wind is soooo cold. I get hard core hunters/fishermen all the time who basically tap out after 3 days of fishing in foul weather. It's a good thing we have excellent fishing...

I crawled around in them, and the cabins were pretty bare bones, to my liking.. I'm curious what a WA7 would look like on that 26' hull... edited to add: I'd want the motors set back and I'd want the extra deck space from getting rid of the fix boxes. I can't stand cleaning built in fish boxes every...

A lodge in my area (El Capitan) uses a 26' Pacific based off of the 28' Hull. I saw them in the Pacific factory when I went to visit. They look very nice and absolutely bulletproof. I almost want to go work for them just so that I can drive the boats. Google El Capitan lodge and you can see the boat...

Given how I see the government employees abuse boats up here, I'd never touch a gov boat unless it was just for the hull and even then I'd look at it very closely....... They run around red lining the boats burning 50gph trying to catch somebody having a good time. And then they wonder why they keep...

I broke my boat engine! Actually I sheered an impeller in my Honda 90 and it's been sitting in the repair shop for a week without even being looked at. (don't get me started) Most everybody in my town has switched over to Yami/Merc as the shop that deals them has amazingly quick repair service. I've...
