Chris,thanks for the info. Right now I'm looking at Simpsonmarinedeisgn.com and working with John on getting there 42 x14 plan lofted. After spending some time with John on the phone I believe this plan may fit my current needs. THANKS Kevin for the contact and John says hello. He is semi retired bu...

The more I investigate, the more I realize that a 10 knt .boat with big single may be what happens to have enough room for the fish holds I'm after in this size boat.

It needs to be capable of 15 to 18 but most of the time it will be trolling between 5 to 6 knts. My hopes are to get around 4 gph at 10 knts but it will be what it will. I also like the boat above lines but I'm looking for alloy build not glass. I sent off emails to Nicholas bros and Simpson yesterd...

Really starting to struggle a bit here. Trying to find that perfect hull design. I've talked with several folks now and thought I'd settled on CWB 's Bristol bay design stretched to 42 x 15 then I spoke with Bruce and he's not sure it's what I'm looking for in speed , ride and handling characteristi...

Great story, great build, and great boat for sure.

I'm serious about this design, shoot me an email at fishersofmen52@gmail.com Terry

Thanks John, appreciate the vote of confidence. I'll secure plans and or cutting file in 2014 but probably wont start til current boat sales.

Appreciate all the input for sure. I'll let you guys know and post up a few pics as I get into the winter projects in January.

Thanks a bunch Id defintley like to take a look that as a posibility, I really like Kiwi and Bruces boats I I think that boat stretched to 40 or 42 would be an incredible tuna machine. I ll give you a shout after Christmas and converse a bit about it.

Terry

Thanks,I do appreciate that coming from you since our boats are very similar in design

I know this has probably been hashed out before, but what is the best diesel/ kerosene heater to install in my pilot house? After a few cold overnighters 60 miles offshore last summer I've decided its time. Also thats one thing all potential buyes have asked for was a furnace/ heater installed so th...

Thanks Kevin, I'll give John Simpson a shout. I've seen several of Bill Lincoln's designs, Jim Norvell has built several and they are well thought out boats. I'll give Rick Whelin, who did the hull design on ReelSong, a shout also . I'll let you know what I come up with. Thanks again Terry

Still have her after another flawless tuna season. She's now back how in heated storage for the winter.

Looks like a great summer for sure.

Kevin, this is exactly what I'm looking for, and I'm just beginning the process, I will take your advice and start with Rozema and go from there. I was hoping Maybe someone here had some designers contact info. I know this is primarily a sport boat site and most designers I've contacted in the past ...

Sorry Guys, maybe I should of clarified what I'm looking for. I'm not really looking for a stock design but suggestions on designers. I .love the Rozema. Crabber and combination style, this is what I'm looking for in 40 to 42 feet . I will be the builder. While not a certified. expert builder, we ar...

Id really like to build a 42' commercial Tuna boat similar to a down scaled version of a Rozema 50' Crabber or combo. Cant find anything in this range short of the Bruce Roberts designs. Any help would be appreciated. Looking for a proven hull design to run twin diesel Tuna boat with at least 10 ton...

Great job on the new ride, nothing quite like heading west in the boat you've built with your own hands. Good on you Bro

Thats exactly what I did Mike, thanks for the tips guys. Welder, I only went boom when I tripped and fell on top of the tank while crawling in and out of the boat. This was on that Green Black sled I sold a year ago, I'd never put a fuel guage on it so the guy I sold it to kept topping off every tim...

Thanks guys this was pretty much what I was thinking, , I'll let you know over the weekend if it all worked out.

I need to cut a 1-1/4" hole in a full fuel tank (gas) to install a fuel sending unit. Any tips?

To each his own , I for one like my paint

Not sure if the PM got back to you, but yes boat is still for sale and Feel free to give me a call, She's in her slip in Newport for the summer 541-771-7051 Terry and if your still interested your welcome to come down to Newport and go halibut fishing with me either this coming weekend or the next.

Better check this one out, Id like to fish her this summer but could be persuaded and I'm asking 155K seems like it is exactly what your looking for

Yeah, I was shown to tail bleed by a freind in Alaska almost 30 years ago, really does make a differance . Those are about the standard size fish we target off the Oregon coast. 40 to 70 lb's or 52inches is about the largest well take but also about the largest we catch. There are a few 100lb. plus ...
