Re: Ed Wing Pilothouse.

No, the 90 was still doing fine. I just wanted more midrange power. It cruises at 3500rpm's at 22kts, And it hits 40kts now, which doesn't nice since I live on big boat cruising at 7-9kts.

You can have it back anytime you want to downsize from your Laconner. :thumbsup:

Ed Wing Pilothouse.

For a limited time. I found a bigger boat, and if that one sales first this will be back off the market. It is CHAPS old boat, so if I cannot answer any questions he probably can. I am selling my 20' 1998 Ed Wing pilothouse (it's really 21' and close to 23' overall) because I am looking at a bigger ...

Re: Bottom machine Chart Plotter

By hitting numbers, I mean going to a lat and long and start fishing. I am a fan of separate systems for redundancy, it's a product of my commercial fishing upbringing. For my money I would Get a FURUNO fish finder and cheap chartplotter. But if you mainly after groundfish only then you could probab...

Re: Bottom machine Chart Plotter

I got to chose my end of season bonus this year. Well told my boss that I needed a new fish finder, and he said order whatever I wanted. So I chose a NSE12 :beer: If I had to pay for it I don't think I would have gone so expensive. Especially since its only a 20'er. But I won't turn down free stuff....

Well the bottom looked alright but there were a few spots that looked like splash zone was used as a patch. So my dad passed, and I decided to take on the project.

Re: Need Help

I'm going to take a peak at it tomorrow and I'll take some pics of the bottom. He said he would sell it without the motor, but what would be a fair offer? He said it has a columbia anchor set up on it if that matters. Also he said that it had a vinyl cover that was painted over with the grey paint. ...

So my dad was looking at this boat and I figured I ask you guys and gals what you thought of it and if the price is fair. $3500 It would be a little work skiff for around the marina. The owner said it had a 60hp previous that was perfect but sold it with another boat. He wasn't sure on the guage of ...

That brings back memories. Think we moved when the dividends were around $900 and we drank allot of milk-man. But we spent almost everyday we could fishing, and camping with my dad and 3 brothers. Good times and I wish my son could have the same experiences. That milk man was some awful stuff, wasn...

Re: Variable Deadrise

Not completely sure. But more dead rise equals more rocking at rest. Then dead rise affects down swell ride as well. I am just guessing here but a variable dead rise will rock less at rest and have a more stable down hill ride. It gains this by sacrificing some upswell performance. Again that just a...

I have looked at the Pacific's and that is pretty much what I wanted. Just couldn't afford the name so I would save allot of money by having someone else built the same thing.

Re: Need Advice

Thanks. That is why I ask questions here. I am only at the drooling point right now. But the top picture is 33,500 for a 26x9.5' ready for power and the bottom is 40k for pretty much the same. Both with a 6'x7' pilothouse.
