Greg,I really got out .good chance to try everything ==all the electronics, even stopped & caught a few Quahogs, threw them back for luck,, Very happy the way the boat handled, things are looking good

:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

Glad ta hear it :btu:

Its about time you dirty rat bast--- as John would say:eek: How was the trip to long I bet with thinking about the boat in Johns hands that is:smash: Glad to hear it's all set now we need to get together for some fishing!

Welcome back Clammer hope the vacation went well. Good to here about the boat treat her well,no bouys and rocks maby a seal now and then,see you on the water.

Mike, I knew you got a new boat, but missed all the details. What did ya end up buying?

Denis, you headed south this spring? I made a last ditch effort to do a long weekend down in FL the weekend of the 29th while my wife's friends come up to visit and help with the twins... but daycare fell thru for the new babies and I can't spend any $$$ till I have that resolved.

We may go down to Tampa in May though, so I would sneak out for a day then... there be tarpon in the IC waterway at that time of year.

Anyway, hope you're headed down to the Lagoon... good luck if so.

Greg, Yea I got a 2003 , 21ft Sea Hunt, with a 150 yamaha, s/w model, plus the trailer , upgraded the electronics and did some modifications to suit my wants but I,m still keeping it in the slip == because of the extra time I.ll get to use it ,, like short time trips , sometimes I only go 1 1/2 hours or so , and its real easy with the slip around the corner
next time you come to Johns let me know and we will ride ,, ifs its later on ==bring your pole////
later ,Mike

Schoolie Monster

not in the spring will go down to Titousville in Sept for a week fishing with Nel-65,then my wife a some other friends fly down and we spend a week in New Smyrna.

Clammer, I will definitely try to do that this year. I know I struggled to get together with John the past couple years and I know this year will be tough as well with the kids. But I would like to come down and the three of us go out... especially when the herring are around.

I can't wait to see the new boat.

Denis, sorry to hear you won't be going soon, but I won't feel sorry for you, 'cause September should be fun. I'm still hoping for May and its looking pretty good so far... we'll see.

Clammer,

I saw that seahunt at the boat show last month.
is it a new make on the market?

My buddy was looking real close at them.
They look good and seaworthy.
