my brand new rod holder, the 258 journey

[alantani]

thank you maritime electronics, sausalito, california, for a complete eletronics package. left to right is me, and the maritime staff - galen, billy, mike, ari, sandy and tony.

next is the canvas, then back to the dealer for detailing, and then she comes home.

Dang, that is nice! Like the gull chaser on the hard top.

Nice upgrade from the last GW.

Beautiful! And twins too! What's the electronics package?

Congratulations... beautiful rig... best of luck with her.

Very nice. Congratulations.

Did you forget something?

 

[alantani]

logistically, i needed to get it to the electronics guys before the dealer could go through the final systems check. then off to the canvas lady, then back to the trailer guy, then back to the dealer for a final go through. he made me promise that i would not splash it before he gave it the final ok. i guess he figured i would not miss the props!

hahrumpf!!!

I thought they were jet drives.

 

[alantani]

believe me, i was tempted. i was only 50 yards from the water!

Man that's a nice rig!!! Congratulations.

I wonder what that fishing machine costs... 70, 80, 90k? I'm thinking of moving up in a couple of years and that's one model I'm considering.

CONGRATULATIONS on a really sweet boat.

Hope it brings you all the pleasure, safety and FISH you could want.

We repowered our 270 from a single 250 OX66 to twin F150s, and it moves along really well. I imagine your 258 will be even faster, and more economical.

Also, really enjoy your posts on THT about reel maintenance.

Journey 258 electronics package....

That's an awesome fishing machine you have there! I'm also seriously considering the Journey 258. I was wondering what electronics package you purchased and whether or not you decided to flush mount your electronics. I'm also curious as to why you went with maritime electronics in sausalito. A final question I have is about your transducer. I didn't notice one on the transom, so I was wondering if you went with a shoot thru hull model or possibly a thru-hull model. Keep us informed of how it goes when you finally get the hull wet. Congratulations and have fun!

Hey Alan,

Congratulations! What a great looking boat. Lots of room in the cockpit area which I bet was a plus for you. Look foward to seeing her in Santa Cruz this June. Just in time for salmon too!
