I thought I would point out that John indicated to me that they are only building blanks right now. In other words the owner of these two (a fishing charter company) did all the rigging and interior seating etc.that you can see in some of the photos on his site. Basically he is welding up the hull a...

Here are some pic's I took while down there checking her out. Just look at the difference in the hull design compared to that Thunderjet TJ offshore. This is a real offshore hull. http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii297/Coal_miner/Cope/IMG_3992_zpsfbfe6ab4.jpg Side shot. http://i267.photobucket.com...

Here's a new one to add to the master builders list Chaps. http://www.aegirboats.com/ This guy just started up last year and has build two of the Bruce Cope designed 26 walkarounds. He has a very experienced welder working with him. He used to work at Daigle welding and Wolf boats. This is the parti...

[quote="mojomizer"]Don't forget Cedar plugs on the hand lines :thumbsup: The PNW guy's are down rigging experts I bet when the winged tuna are a bit deeper it will work. :popcorn:[/quote We tried the downriggers last year with 15 lb. balls running 250 lb braided line. At 7mph the blow back...

I think for most use's a single is fine and make the most sense economically. I would agree with Dave on the seatow comment for sure. I'm not sure how far they will come out on WCVI but I would say if your fishing offshore say further than 20-25 miles than twins would be the way to go. I am like goa...

That's what I'm talking about!!! Looks way better already John. 10' of deck space is awesome. Just do the rise in the middle of the cabin like the Hewescraft and be done with it. How much step down (if any) is there from the back deck to the cabin floor? Could you take a picture looking down on the ...

I thought we should bring this one back to life. After being out 3 times in my own boat this year I think I have a basic spread down. First we deploy the Yo Zuro Dabo pins (the big orange thingy's). They sit about 25 feet back just inside of the rear cleats. Secondly we set out the handlines. They a...

Here is a good thread on a nice 23 Super Sport Offshore Pilothouse model from the Sports Fishing BC forum. http://www.sportfishingbc.com/forum/showthread.php?21150-Wooldridge-23-Super-Sport-Offshore-PH-quot-Boat-Build-quot Hope you don't mind me hijacking your thread Grant. Is this one one of the on...

John that thread is for you. What are you going to do this long and cold months ahead. Tomorrow we build tanks. I will take pictures that will first be uploaded to BD then Saved then reposted here because AAB does Not Support TapATalk. Not the freshest porn but still Alloy Boat porn :clap: I'm watc...

A fellow AAB/BD Member Ken aka Flasher made the 2 decals and stopped yesterday and applied them. He and others have tried to change my Goatram handle with various names the last one is Goatkeeper. For some reason my OG name does not suit them. :deadhorse: I use that handle on every forum I am on. N...

I see on his website the pictures of kingfishers and coastal cruisers, did he disign those hulls? Yes he did. Those Coastal Craft's are probably one of the nicest alloy boats coming out of BC right now for cruising type folks. I like how he still designs boats for fisherman, lodges, and working cla...

Just went to his site again today and he added a 14' jet boat!!! Looks like the big brother to the cool little 10'er.

Pete a little under 1.3 miles a gallon at 35miles per hour on the Patience is a fantastic burn rate. A week ago gas was pushing over 5 dollars a gallon in my neck of the concrete woods. The Patience could do some serious damage to the Albacore out of BC/Washington. Sculpin Out of Bamfield is it a 4...

Ouch!!! Big toys have big fuel bills. Goatram are you paying attention?...........

Just to make you feel better maybe it's around 11-12 cause I was loaded up pretty heavy.

spoiled one wrote:So what is your burn rate at 35 mph?

That tuna fishing looks like a blast!

Around 10-11 gals per hour. That heavy grady with twin 200 2 strokes was sucking way more than me .

Bruce updated his site again! http://www.aluminumboatdesigns.com/stock/index.htm He added a couple of new designs including a kick azz 10' New Zealand style jet dingy!!! (I'm looking for some really cheap used jet ski components so I can build one of these bad azz little toys for my son and I to pla...

Happy Birthday you big Texan!!!!

Are you having ground squirrel stew for dinner?

I love the lines of that skiff. I really like a nice up swept sheer line. Radar is a good thing IMO. I use mine all the time. You can look for flocks of birds in the distance, you can see groups of boats that may already be on a bait stop, or you can use it to see obstacles in the fog. Nothing and I...

Sounds like a great day on the water wetwhopper. Congrats on those nice salmon

Mojo- you are blowing my mind with those articles. I have some serious reading to do, thanks a bunch :thumbsup: great thread :popcorn: No kidding about the serious reading!!!

Right on! Great way to spend a morning for sure :thumbsup: Congrats to your son on his first duck and to you for being a great dad :highfive: . Duck hunting is very exciting in my books. I only get out a couple of times a year but really look forward to it every time. Goose hunting is really cool to...
