Damn shrimp traps, huh..... If I wants some I gotta go out and throw a cast net till I'm whooped... That actually looks enjoyable. I could drag for them, if I wanted to jump thru all the law hoops and get me a small net. Was thinking about it for next season. All recreational shrimping here is done ...

what is that?

looks like a pile of over grown Whiting???? :shock:

Nuke,

Good job, man!

"dirt" like that is the kinda dirt we like around here.

That's really something.

Jay, what year hull is that?

I see they do offer a V bottom bow.....that boat would do me real good in our back waters here. But I like that bow roller in the flat front version. Perfect to hang a small anchor maybe? For quick deployment, when a tailing redfish is spotted in the grass. Man I want a small alloy creek boat so bad...

Ya got that right...... The reason for this entire post wasn't that I do no maintenance and then LITTLE GIRL about repairs, it was the SAGA First repair place gave me a key switch and sent me on my way.... second one did what a real shop is supposed to do. But, I have always got two years or so out ...

Looks to be one of those very popular Australian style cabin boats.

See Peterbo, he's having a boaut built like that right now. He's a member and has posted his pics as it's being built.

Re-learn??? That's sort of funny....Yeah, I guess you could call it that, but for me it was just us "getting aquainted", for that ride into forever, that's all really. Yep, the diff for me compared to my ole F'glass boat is just as you said, the security and confidence of being in my own b...

Thaks for the reply Peter. It's really great to have ya here. Giving us another perspective. Pass us on to the fellow Bule water and Fisher and other Alloyheads in your circle. I think "silver is beautiful". By the way... what's a gallon of gas cost there. If you can figure your price into...

Are ya thinking of welding a ladder together AlloyToy? That would be good practice with some nice thick aluminum pipe and plate for the steps. Then Maybe even weld it to the trailer instead of like mine which is bolted.....certainly would be permanant then, huh. I want to learn so bad too....that I ...

FISHOFF, I hope to see a big load of Striper pix in the the other forums.... and boat pix, please. (you can always use Photobucket.com which is real EZ) I'll show ya mine if you show me yours...... (scratch that>>>>>Kinda creepy sounding<<<<<) WELCOME fellow Labber! Jettywolf - 2006, 26' BlackLab Ma...

I'm here lurking so I'll answer.....www.blackspotboats.com

aka: a Scooter, in Texas......Luguna Madre or Baffin Bay anyone??
(I ain't polin' ya though.)

almaddog,

Please see my topic on outboards that never get flushed. Just an FYI for you.

Mine gets flushed, and sits on a trailer......and had a $600 repair after 15 months.

I know some of you have to remember all the talk about flushing your outboard on THT, not all that long ago. I think it was Broadcove (??) not sure, but that name rings a bell. That was building a cabin 26' BLM and said that it would sit in the cove for the entire season and the engine would never b...

I seen a ACB on ShipShape TV on cable one time and they were doing stuff to a bare ACB hull, like new seats etc. . But I did notice as they were cruising in a South Florida canal how loud that boat was, it was a 22 or 24 with a small cabin. Being that it has air in the chambers and no insulating typ...

Alloy, Marty, I know what your talking about...kinda per most direction manuals. As I had about 10 different machines on my last two boats, and was always changing 'ducers. They always want ya to have the 'ducer just a 1/4 inch or so below the bottom plane of the hull and kicked back just a hair and...

I will have to takle a pic of our Pilot Boats we have here....That's a boat I'd like to fish from!

The BW is kinda ordinary looking....but so are $700 hammers.

OHHH, it looked great till I saw that bow, or lack there of!

Thanks for the pics.

Yeah, we call it survival in the charter biz. The next part of the Saga is as follows. to reinterate...(for your comparison.....I mean all outboard owners) 1st shop: It was the key switch, there was a service bulletin on bad key switches. See if that fixed the over temp alarm. Nope, it had zero too ...

opppps, I keep forgetting its deep winter for alot of you folks, and that I fish any day of the week, and call it too cold when I can't just wear slickers over me shorts. Summer here sucks....so you'll be able to post pics of Charlies and Rockfish, and I'll be wishin I could find my fish (big Trout)...

That's a cool Marina....I mean Beach.

Yeah it sure looks like a smaller ACB. Thanks for the reply. I can only imagine that Stabi, with a Jet Outboard running through the shallows around here. I'd freak people out. Because of it's design and what I'd be doing, they'd think I was a Martian. They already think I'm a relocated Canadian or A...

Oh...okay. I was in the USAF too. Osan AB Korea and then Grand Forks ND, and you can bet your hat all I wanted to do is get back south when in N.Dakota! That place is like Hell for someone like me. No people? Yeah, cuz it's frozen all the time and in the summer was 105 degrees. I tell a good custome...

sign up for photobucket at: www.photobucket.com - you can take pics from your computer and post them here. Photos need to be "hosted" somewhere..... Then it'll give each pic several formats you can choose from, one being a format.....just copy that and paste it here and you pics will show ...

CAN I COME LIVE WITH YOU??????????????????????? PRETTY PLEASE! just the thought of collecting a bear off the shore in my boat makes me want to move! That is some seriously pretty country. Where is that in Alaska? I keep contemplating, do I belong here or in a place like that? But all I know how to d...
