Posting this link for a friend on another board. This is a really tuna killer. Chaps has an Ed Wing as well and these boats are indestructible!

So Crabbait is selling his boat? Thats a nice machine, I remember reading his posts on Ifish when he was putting that together. I don't remember it getting a big Honda at the time though, that must have come later?

Ding, ding, ding, somebody buy that man with the good memory a cigar!

Boat was originally powered by a Suzuki 140, but Crabby wanted more power.

He's retiring to Costa Rica and wants to get something down there. Poor guy!!

I have been cleaning her up and finally had enough and took her out this weekend. I am very impressed with the hull design of this vessel. Topped out around 43 mph (smooth water, empty with only 2 guys, and 1/2 fuel). Thought it would pound more that it does but rides real nice.Trim tabs IMO are a mandatory piece of equipment on any alloy boat. Thanks desert dog for posting the add on here. Posted pic's in the About section of the forum.

So the the Rock is the 1st guy to buy a boat listed in the For Sale forum and the 2nd guy to buy a boat thru AAB.

This is one of the reasons I built this site , to bring Alloy Heads together.

Congrats on your new ride John, she's a winner. :D

I love what this dude says[i]........"I strongly considered taking my boat to Costa Rica but the cost of importing and retrofitting makes it impractical (it would have to be white or the aluminum would turn into a frying pan)."[/i]

Cuz its a cabin maybe....other than that. Heck I'm in Fla. and have zero headaches about it.

I'm down here too, a little farther South. My boat never gets hot when I'm out either.

Yeah I hear ya. I don't know what crabbait was talking about the heat thing. I know he said the import (protectionism) thing was unreal but I don't buy the frying pan comment.

What do I know 3/4 of my fishing time is in Stanfield woolies and full blown rain gear :D .

I have found the cabin to be quite nice and I'm sure if you opened up the windows on a hot day the air flow would take the heat out of it.

Up here the cabin is a must. I'm going to put a Wabasto diesel furnace kit in it this fall for winter Chinook fishing and prawning.

I've noticed that if an alloy boat is sitting on a trailer out in the hot sun it can get pretty warm but once it is sitting in the water the entire hull cools down pretty quickly as the aluminum is a great heat conductor.
