Katoh and Welder, "thanks!" I get it. I figure better to ask ?'s and know what everyone's talking about...

Thanks for the feedback.

Was reading a thread by Katoh and ran into the term ...

That's where I found her (in Alaska). I like looking at the Alaskan Craigslist adds because I love all the industrial looking alloy boats up there. I would of bought at least 8 boats up there vs. having a new one built accept for the cost of shipping.

O.K. I was enjoying reading some of the threads here and the term "mill scale" keeps coming up. I looked it up but still don't understand it other than it's not a beneficial thing for aluminum or any kind of metal. Can someone put it in laymen terms so the likes of me (challenged :deadhors...

O.k. guys, finally got the boat wet today and started breaking in my motor. My boat is definitely no speed demon (topping out @ 27mph today) and I'm o.k. with that. I was wondering what do you guys consider to be your "SWEET SPOT" in relation to your speed and RPM's. My boat seems super ha...

I think Jettywolf would look good catch'n them speckled trout on the stern of this super fort.

Sweet Ride

Cut out your deck, apply desired floatation material, patch the deck, pressurize= airtight deck with floatation. good as new. I don't know what I'm talking about, but I don't see any reason why it couldn't be done? Talk to your hull's manufacturer 1st (I guess). I've seen aluminum decks cut and fabr...

Great trip, great action, great pics! What more could a guy ask for?

S w E e T r I d E !!! More underway pics please.

Thanks for the great fishing report. You'll get that monster next time!

My Tigers have aluminum guides (which I love), but I'm noticing that I'm not seeing them around anymore??? The 2012 models have the black plastic inserts. I still see the random Tiger w/ the aluminum guides but I think they are just "leftovers?" Does anybody else know?

I'm no expert, but I'd say it's a dying breed. The wooden boat builders still use the motor well here and there, and I think I've seen a couple of aluminum examples over the years. I think there are a couple traditional builders in the New England/Maine area that still builds them new as well as a b...

I'm a big Ugly Stick fan too. I especially like my US Tiger and Tiger Lite rods for vertical jigging sea bass and lings out on the Sunken Jetty. Most of mine are in the 15lb-30lb. and 6' tall. All my buddies use "high end" stuff, but I seem to hang with'em just fine.

Many fisherman preferred having their outboard motors placed in a "well" inside the boat rather than off the transom for various reasons such as: # netting- you could hull a net full of fish off your transom without getting tangled on an outboard or prop # maintenance- you can pop the cove...

No kidding? Why?

That's my kinda boat. Tough as nails and a "clean slate." Work her hard! Congrats!

I shouldn't have used the word "submerge"; however, I do give'm a fresh water dunk a time or two after a day out on the salt.

Way to go! Man, all I've been thinking about is tuna. Seeing these reports is getting me all irritated, pent-up, hot and bothered, etc. Again, nice job and beautiful boat.

Uh, hmmm..., sniff, sniff, snort... Goatram, I don't remember drinkin no stink'n sissy coffee, do you? Must be some kinda mistake? That brown stuff is a new pro cure color. Lol!
