Wind was brutal all morning today. Just got home and feel like I went 10 rounds in a bar fight.

No boat, back in the suds.

10 rounds is pretty good for an old guy, doubt I could make it out of the 1st Don't think I will be on the water all week due to winds, doesn't seem to be any safe spots.

thanks Buzz but my knees still feel it. The good thing was I had my partner with me who is 35 and he said he was tired from the beating we took. We DID stay out for 5 hours in the crap.

You guys need real boats.
I kind of like a certain amount of wind (within reason)
Keeps all the pain in the ass little boats at home.
Fishing is usually best when it's rough out also.

I do and mine is only 21 1/2 ft, helps keep the bow down. You might just try by (over) trimming the engine.

Makes a world of difference Paul. That and autopilot for long range journeys were my two best add-on for my 20ft boat.

I agree Paul. Mine is only 19' and made all the difference in the world. Easy do it yourself, if your handy.

Best $500 I've spent. Makes a HUGE difference in the chop.

Trims tabs are a must Paul. Specially for a guy like you. If your out and about in all kinds of weather they are a must have. They might help save those knees.
