I'll let you know what I see, I will launch from Oceanside, head to 267 and then over to SE side of Cat. I'll troll madmacs, halcos and yozuris. Hopefully I have some pictures to share.

Nice!! Madmacs are the new unicorn on the west coast. I did get 2 big ones on a charter a few weeks back, a 140 and 180. The California Flyer got the bigger one. I'm headed out this weekend. Seems like there is a body of fish further north now. If you guys are headed out on Saturday 7/9 -...

Agree with comments above, the crack under the thru is a non starter for me.

Thank guys! Appreciate the feedback!

OK - I ran the boat this weekend and with a full fuel tank, full 32 gallon bait tank, 2 adults and 50 lbs of ice - I was able to touch 5,600 rpm (38.7 mph). This is my typical load. Thoughts? Would you suggest a prop change? Thanks in advance.

I do, I find the APP useful when on other folks boats and when traveling, also a great back up.

1 keep my batteries maintained in the storage lot using 2 - 10 watt panels with controllers, one for each battery. I have been doing this for over 10 years. I also have the ACR set up mentioned above, that is so I ensure both batteries are getting charged when run, and only 1 is isolated for...

Your boss is a smart guy, he knows you have and will work as hard for him. Great story and best of luck on your new boat!

good point less that 1 hour over 5000 rpms. I dont push the boat that hard at all and only can open it up in the bay.

night and day difference, great upgrade!

Hi guys, just got my motor service at 174 hours. I asked they print out the engine data and was surprised at the RPM numbers. No data in 5,000 to 6,000 rpm range. I don't run the boat hard, but I think I may be over propped? I will take it out in the next few weeks and push it to the...

all I can say is WOW!!! Beautiful outcome, enjoy the season!

I actually had screens built in on the scuppers drains I used, I ended up removing them with a dremel. It really slows the flow of water out of the boat. Agree with others above, just blast the hose thru them before / after each run.

in my 208, I believe I used wire reinforced 1 1/2 inch hose. I sourced these at a local marina, they cut to size. Try soapy water to slide onto the barb. I know... the clamps should be opposing...

I also came out of a 17 whaler and now have a 1999 Adv 2080 and love it. Easy to handle and economical. Gets me out, fishes comfortably and gets me back. That said, I would love a 228 with a closed transom for all the reasons mentioned.

Glad you figured the issue out! In case you need to replace, I went with Blue Sea Systems - 7182 187 Series, 285 Series & Klixon Circuit Breakers, 40A. I replaced as a precaution, after 23 years of service I thought it was time.

Thank you!

Hi D-fox. just curious, where in CA are you located and who did the work? I am in SoCal and always looking for good shops in the area. Thanks

+1 on SkunkBoat. I use a "Reliable" brand insulated Fish bag.

I also keep one of those battery jump starters on the boat. Just in case I drain both batteries.
