The guy that cut the plate for me talked me out of using 1/2” aluminum in favor of 3/8” and I’m glad he did. The only flex is in the pulpit itself and zero concerns about the integrity of the aluminum. PM me your address and I'll trace it on a piece of paper and mail it to you. I still...

I repowered with new f250xb mechanical last summer. In a hurry at the time and didn't realize the new engine is Command Link so just swapped out the old gagues with a new CL5. Just finishing the dash panel and I'll add some pics later. Aside from that, I have a box full of small add-ons and...

Thanks for the comments and happy to answer any questions. After a couple seasons use I'm pleased overall and no regrets about choosing this installation option. After 2 years of use I'm honestly not sure if i could have used a shorter shaft but think it will be close. When I purchased the...

Would have liked to have gone to SRR but my SIL started turning green so glad we didn't. My brother is going to delay winterizing but with no Bluefin season this may have been my last fishing trip in NJ this year. Mine is in Ocean City MD so I won't winterize until Dec, usually get an...

We ran from the hook to the rocks both Sat and Sun and no bass. There were a lot of birds and other boats in search mode but no real concentrations or surface activity. Marked loads of bait and a lot of fish but couldn't make it happen. We stopped on one of the Highlands wrecks and caught a...

That's discouraging but thanks, we're still planning to go Sat and Sun and I'll post a report. I'm hearing there are a lot of smaller slot size bass in the Navasync and Shrewsbury rivers where we keep the boat and I'll bring some bait for Tog and Seabass if we can't find any action along the beach.

I ran my brother's regulator to the Bacardi at the end of Sept and went 2 for 4. The next week I ran with a friend on a big boat out of CT, started at the Dip in 65 degree water and got a nice Bigeye right away. Made it to the 100 square picking away on Albicore on the troll and just a big Mako...

My boat is in MD but I'll be running my brother's 28' Regulator this weekend. The boat is currently at Gateway right next to Bars and the Highlands bridge. He just finished building a new dock about 1/2 mile up the Shrewsbury from there, not sure why is still in the marina... We're all arriving...

Looks like a we may have a rare Sat/Sun weather window coming so let's hope it holds. Haven't decided which day yet but we'll be running out of the Highlands to either Bacardi or the Tripples, hopefully not both... Anyone else or intel?

Thanks for the report again, we fluke fished Rattlesnake to the Shrewsbury rocks on Saturday and Sunday and was wondering what all those boats were doing in the mud hole. Caught our limit of small sea bass and 5 and 6 keeper fluke to 21" both days. Crazy how many short fluke out there, threw...

Thanks for the report and bummer you didn't find them. One boat in our marina said he said he found them at 60 miles and seeing scattered reports from TT to the Tripples but that's a big area. We were thinking about making a run this weekend but it's going to blow Saturday and left over north...

Congrats and thanks, that's quite a haul. I'll be visiting this weekend and familiar with that area, but will try pressing closer to the rocks than usual. The Rattlesnake used to be the spot but for some reason it went dead a couple years ago. Any Stripers still around or Tunas on the...

Hey KY Grady, I came across this old thread and wondering how much you got for your 04 F225? I have almost the same engine with about 600 hours, exhaust replaced, and good compression, still running strong but thinking about repowering. Bob

Jay, I'll send you a DM about mailing the template but it's really easy to make if you have a router. The template I made does not have mounting holes so you can just flip it over if installing to starboard but I'd recommend against it. It won't matter for operating at slow speed but it will...

OMER, Are these seats the same height as the OEM seats? I'm 5'9" and when I'm seated now up on plane I have just enough clearance to comfortably see over the dash/bow. I saw in one of the responses there was not enough room to stand between the helm and the seat to use it as a leaning post in...

Luckydude, I'm researching seat upgrades and came across this. FYI a Yetti / RTIC 45 qt cooler fits perfect in the space between the helm and the chair. Need to slide it out to get a beverage but and I'm able to comfortably rest one or both of my feet on it while operating the boat.

We left the Highlands at 6 and picked up a couple more snappers. Rolled into AP around 9. Lots of Whales and good bait but no major tuna marks, trolled till 11 and setup for chunking. About noon the deep snapper on 40 floro went off, 60ish yellowfin in the box. Just after we boated it had...

I fished Little Italy this afternoon, think I saw Skunk running through just as we were getting there, maybe 3 other boats. Started trolling, good marks in the middle water column but all we caught on the troll were false albacore. Started chunking / jigging a live snapper got hit but pulled...

I deleted the porta potty and mounted (2) 36v / 60AH lithium batteries (in parallel) on the floor, put the on/off switch and 60 amp breaker on the port side wall next to the 1" wire hole i drilled for wiring. I installed a Monster Marine Ultimate "on the run charger" under the starboard stern...
