Just wait till I can afford my 19' custom shallow water BLM boat...It'll make a Florida Flats boaters piss their pants and get out the way when they see me coming! I have it all designed in my mind. :idea: Tiller power steering, loads of fishing room, jack plate, comfy seats, front casting deck, liv...

wasn't there a comment somewhere that a 26 can have twin 300's for commercial purposes on it? Key word "commercial"

I guess that would be zuki' 300's?

Same, same Alloy....

I'll take a wild guess that a 1978 SeaCraft is a deep V boat ,21 degree deadrise????? You will drift faster in the Pacific. You need to make those kinda comparisons yourself, though to meet your needs. Comparisons would be like asking which is better a Hummer versus a 1978 Caddy?? Weight carrying ab...

TOO COOL!

It's even got that simplest of all steering systems??...the ole Pully and cables?

only thing simpler...(is that a word?)
Is a Tiller.

That boat must be so fun to own.

Glad your here

Fella's remember I live in a small world......meaning I don't get out much. And Miami boat show is like going to Mars for me. My Business doesn't allow me to go, anywhere. But I'm glad to hear that the Rolls axles aren't a secret. That's a good thing. Because if you can afford one. Its worth every p...

Marty, For us that reead magazines and see photos can you explain how those Volvo Boat Trim System works? I've seen the ads and a few pics, but just don't get it. :roll: Maybe they're ads just don't explain enough......especially in the Boaters World catalog! Seems the trim is achieved by a piece of...

Work shop pix so welcome it's almost why we're here.

Love those pics with the welder laying over the transom!!

OH MY GOODNESS.....someone North of Georgia that's heard of them? You're the first I've ever "discussed" with and knew what I was talking about from far away. Seems they have a good nitch market here in Florida and especially NE Florida. We have alot of them around here. Usually commericia...

GREAT QUESTION!!!!!

I'd like to know some details too. Even though I opted to not have the "kicker bracket" put on...wish I did.

And an windshield wiper too.

Alloy Toy, Heck, email safeboats.com and ask them. I think we've had this discussion before. I have no problems and I have a t-ducer on my transom on the plate provided. That's why I thought they were there? I would never drill a hole through my boat for such a thing, personally. Always had transom ...

Man, I'd love to be a fly on the wall at a boat show with Jay.

I used to go to shows and couldn't find out of all of those boats, one that appealed to me and made me say...I gotta have that!

A fly, yeah I'd like to be there thats for sure.

I be in the deeeep south, and sometimes wouldn't mind being even deeper. And I notice that if I'm in the blazing sun, in July when it's probably 110 degree's and there's no wind blowing not even a puff and the water temp is 88+ degrees, my deck gets pretty warm. 8) HOLY CRAP! But so did my ole 23 Ma...

100 MILES EACH WAY, TO FISH?????? I can see this forum is gonna be full of diehards Welder! Because that takes commitment. (like yourself to Port O Conner?) I moved closer to the boat ramp, and now I'm 7 minutes away, versus the 12 minutes I used to drive......(Minutes not miles.) I think I'm gonna ...

You forgot to mention...."and can troll 11 rods at one time!"Which in itself is a feat of either patiance or killer instinct.

Thanks Marty!

I have a bunk trailer with the torsion bar suspension. No problems. Nice ride. It doesn't mean much if we don't know where ya are?? N or S on the compass needle....hahahah Kevin, I can tell ya' it's not a Ford, Chevy, Dodge thing here, which was the point of the question, and stemmed from observati...

Seems that from at least N.J. to Canada everyone has rollers on their trailers. Not all "so called" boat ramps look like a shallow bank. Do they? My only experience is one I saw on Long Beach Island in NJ. It seemed fine. I was just wondering. Because they look to be maintenance nightmares...

Msilva,

You were looking at those big bad azz cat boats, right?
That's why you need to be here....no harrassment here. Just good vibes and warm welcomes.

-Jettywolf

Here in Florida we'd call them fishez a "Key West Pork Chop!"

or a "Pok'chop"

GREAT PICS!

Is this where I put fish pix and reports?? I guess so, so here I go.... Had a wonderful few days. Didn't put a whole lot of $$ in the bank, because for some unknown reason people LOCALLY don't remember that the first two weeks of January is usually PERFECT weather. But like Jerry Sienfeld...I'm alwa...

Yeah.........I KNEW IT. All I had to do is see that hole in the floor and have my fine knowledge of marine hardware and 2 and 2 together, meant just one thing, of those bad BACK SIDE hatches, like a real commercial boat has. Although I have seen them on a 27 Conch from Massapoiset, Mass. Wish I had ...

Was wondering in the last few photos I saw of the new super sleeper cab,
what it looked like, in the end.

IE:

-the box up on the stern...was that a livewell?

-and was the larger cut out in the floor for an "aluminum" deck hatch versus, the Armstrong compression "spin-out"?

No, but then again my boat doesn't look as good as some "other peoples".

My NYALIC coating is all rubbed!

That may be a cosmetic issue for the future, when I get around to it.

Been there done that.....is an old saying that usually means. "Don't bother asking, because this is the way I do it now." And that also applies to me. I fished several NON ALLOY boats, and always came back to the memories of the first boat that was ever "all mine". A 1970's somet...

I be here. I'll try....

Yeah baby.....big Troutz!:D

It works for me, Welder.
