picked up last weekend.

Krispy · 03-30-2006, 10:38 AM

Nice rig, I always drool over the North Coasts

at King Cove

likwid · 03-30-2006, 10:59 AM

Whattaya gonna do? Row the thing out to sandspit?

zacs · 03-30-2006, 11:08 AM

you can't see where we are going to step the mast? With the cost of gas these days....

I will hang and rig the motor this weekend. It is the 150 rude that I bought from Mr. Sandman a little over a year ago. It was on my mako but that boat needs more work than I have time. Especially since I cut it all apart.

likwid · 03-30-2006, 11:25 AM

Turbo it.... 7/8 frac with runners.

I think Shindig might have a kite or 20 it can spare.

Still got it?
What shape?

I need yet another project I'll never complete.

yeah, i still have it. I will give it to anyone that wants it. It is a major project.
I started by cutting out the washboards to replace the core, because several holes had let water in and they were all rotten. Then I realized I wasn't going to be done with this boat until next year at the earliest, and with a baby due in august, I want to maximize fishing time may-july.

The transom needs to be replaced.
The deck needs to be replaced.
I am guessing when you do that you will find some stringer work that needs to be done.
All teak needs to be brought back to life, and one piece needs to be
fabricated. I have the raw teak for this project.
rubrail was trashed so I took it off. needs to be replaced.
I have all of the hardware (cleats, rodholders, etc..) but they are in pretty rough shape, so if you go through this whole restoration, I would assume that you would get nice new ones.
As I said, the washboards have been cut out and need to be replaced.
The console will need to be filled/painted.
It is basically your typical 1970 mako total refurb project.

I would need to get money for the trailer though... new rollers, new bunks, needs springs, fenders, maybe more....but still half way decent trailer.....

Nice boat. I almost bought a Lema 19 (the former name) back in 2003. It's pretty heavy to paddle, however.

That thing will fly with a 150 on the back!

Roger · 03-30-2006, 01:26 PM

Wow!
A very nice clean design. I always liked the look of the Lema/Northcoast.
Good luck with her.

B-assman · 03-30-2006, 01:30 PM

Sweet Rig Zac!! Won't be long now - Im sure I'll be seeing you in all the usual places.

zacs · 03-30-2006, 01:46 PM

Yeah, I owe you a ride, Dave.

quick decision · 03-30-2006, 04:07 PM

Nice boat, which dealer you go threw?

zacs · 03-30-2006, 09:05 PM

I went directly through Nortcoast. They deal direct only for RI residents. If you live outside of RI you have to go to a dealer in your state. Like King Cove, in CT.
My favorite part about buying a boat in RI...... NO TAX!

sweet machine

tynan19 · 05-01-2006, 09:34 PM

Looks great.

Clammer · 05-01-2006, 10:07 PM

SWEET good luck with it

Mr. Sandman · 05-02-2006, 06:20 AM

Nice rig! What happen to the mako?

That motor is now on its third boat. Usually it is the boat that gets 3 different motors in a lifetime not the other way around

Good luck with it Zac

PS looks good behind your new truck. (new truck new boat new trailer...life must be good over there!)

seabass · 05-02-2006, 07:07 AM

Pete_G · 05-04-2006, 10:24 AM

No front seating. The way a fishing boat should be...

Enjoy. I love surf fishing but I love boat fishing just as much.

eelman · 05-05-2006, 05:51 AM

Great lookin boat! Best of luck!

zacs · 05-05-2006, 08:22 PM

Broke her in today. Its funny. Putting people on fish is just about as nice as catching them yourself. Don't get me wrong, i caught a few, but it is a nice feeling... Here is my friend alex with a fine specimine from today in narragansett bay.....

tynan19 · 05-07-2006, 10:20 AM

Zacs, Awesome!

schoolie monster · 05-08-2006, 04:23 PM

Bigbo, that drives me nuts too. I mean, it doesn't really bother me, but he's right, its just showing, "hey, I got this fish on a fly rod"... I just think its dorky

I catch a few on the flyrod each year myself and I understand wanting to get the rod in the pic (if its a good fish like that one), but would probably stop short of holding it in my mouth. I see the pose alot when checking reports in FL.

Just don't put your sabiki rod in your mouth when you get a big herring (in 3 years)... the scales don't taste good.

Zacs, that's a great looking boat. Looks really versatile... not too huge, but looks like it will handle some big water. Good luck with it.

Roger · 05-09-2006, 08:17 AM

The pose is not so much to show that it was a flyrod caught fish as it is a convenient way to hold the rod when your hands are full with the fish. Not many people want to leave a $1000 of rod, reel and line loose in the bottom of the boat (or in the surf) while trying to quickly get a pic and get the fish back in the water.

A pose that makes a good shot might be for the photographer to lay the rod in the crook of his arms, take the pic, then grab the rod again for the angler.

I agree that the rod in teeth looks goofy. I also think it's a nice fish.
