Boat Update 3A
First coat sanded an prepped
Second Coat Thru hull fitting aren't installed in these photos. The new ones are chrome plated bronze. Some of the thru hull fittings Plus Five more on other side, Three on the bottom aft, 2 (vents 1 each on the side just forward of amid ship) Two anchor locker drains forward. Plus the inside fittings that drain into the ones shown. I think we replaced 22 fittings in all ( I my of missed a few in the count) And of course all associated hose replaced. Lot of reflections in this photo, my brother, the color of wall of the house, plus some smears from cleaning the excess sealant that need to be wiped off. |

Thanks Gus, It will look even better when the paint gets buffed and waxed, but it has a high gloss now, so that will wait until after fishing season.
The bottom paint needs to done yet, it will be a gloss black, made for boats kept on a trailer. |

But I just read a great article in Florida Sportsman magazine. I go too my Bros in Port Saint Lucie, Fort Pierce A.O.. We net our bait and start heading out, offshore. Sometimes good luck, sometimes nada. Author says. "Why are you driving away from the big fishes food source. Wait till people leave and fish rite there." You should see the fish these guys were catching. Some junk fish, but they were nailing all kinds of nice fish. Why spend $200 gas, when they rite where your catching their food. Food for thought.

Golly, that's kind of ingenious 4thIDvet.
You mean that BIG Fish hang around areas where there are lots of little fish to eat? Who would have ever thunk it! |

Hell I dont know, I read the magazines and believe what they are saying. No wonder were not catching any damn fish. I bought the secret map from a guy outside the bait shop, where all the fish hang. Wasted my $10... Last time at the race track, Saratoga. I buy the race form from a guy in the parking lot $2.00... First race. "What, these horses are not on this form?" Damn form was two days old. Hey. We cant be rocket scientists everyday. |

The biggest snook I ever saw came up to the surface, grabbed my sergeant fish I had just caught, and then blew ballast. SLowly sinking downward until my 20lb test grew taught and snapped.. the dorsals were close to two feet apart I'd say...... it was huge and moved like a blimp.....slowwwww.
