Re: I also have cracks in some welds
Thanks that's a good pic, I have been looking at some others on the pacificboats.com site as well. Purely for budgetary reason, I most likely will reinforce/rework the existing top along the lines of Kevin's suggestions. For now I'm forced to live with the mickey mouse backyard look given the budget...

Re: I also have cracks in some welds
Damn Kevin, thank you. Best two cent value ever. :thumbsup: I had to read your post several times to digest everything. After you present your case, I think you're right about the force being lateral and not longitudinal. So if I understand your proposed solution; * extend the console's aft L bracke...

I also have cracks in some welds
My 2004 Pacific 2025 has cracks in the 4 welds around the door to the center console. Could the cause or at least a contributing factor be the aftermarket hard top and how it is bolted directly to the console with no other support? I'm pretty sure these cracks have gotten worse over the 3 plus years...

Naragansett Bay Stripes
Finally got out last night for the maiden voyage of 2011, it's been a long winter. Hit the ramp at 5:30pm with dos amigos, a bucket of eels and high hopes on the evening outgoing tide. No one is at the ramp and the parking lot is empty save a few trailers. Dang I was prepared for battle; Memorial Da...

Re: Wed. 11/3
Not a lot of options this time of the year, your either offshore for charlie or inshore for tog. Everything else is either gone or out of season. Stripers are in season but mostly gone except for some schoolies. Woke up this am to an inch of accumulated sleet

Re: My Rig
looks like a Johnson/Suzuki 140, how does it perform? That's exactly what it is. She runs great, quiet and with a lot of power, 140 is max for the boat. 40 knots @6100rpm, 25 knots @ 4200 rpm. I never have figured out the fuel economy but don't fill her up very often, I'm very happy with the Suzuki.

Re: Cape Cod Bay
Launched from Plymouth and ran over to PTown-Race Point, FAC conditions, probably averaged 27-28 knots . It was Carnival week over there. Lots of boats on the water, no plate boats that I saw.

Cape Cod Bay
We had an excellent trip in Cape Cod Bay today. Having had a solid striper outing the Sunday prior, I hoped to repeat this with my brother and his two girls down from VT. The bite was on and we slayed them. We caught fish consistently all day in great weather conditions. Sent them home with a full c...

That's great bass!!!
Last Saturday night I take my 7yr old fishing at a local pond for largemouth bass. He is a complete maniac about fishing and has been specifically requesting to go fishing for largemouth for a long time now. That day he says that we should use shiners for the bass, so we do. On this first cast he na...

Re: Boga Grip
They are handy to have and great if you want to weigh fish. I got a good quality 60lb Cabelas knock off on sale for about $40, maybe 2 years ago. I got it in the store, I don't see it on their web site, also have the float that AT had posted a pic of. I would not pay Boga's full retail price, I don'...
