8/17 - Been visiting, the "other-side"

#1

Post by JETTYWOLF »

Didn't want to have to do this. But it was neccessary in these days and times.

In between charter fishing, I'll be in this big Red Mako 26' F'glass boat, doing the Tow gig.
(BIG W.....hit me baby!)

Man compared to my boat this boats a TUG. I mean S-L-O-W, and H-E-A-V-Y, even with 450 Yamaha ponies!
Water logged, maybe. I don't know. But gets the J-O-B done....

"excuse my Fadda, it's been at least 2 plus years since my last confession....
I personally could never go back to glass again ever in my LIFE. I can't deal with
the weight, and heaviness in the water feel. I've seen the light and will always be,
an ALLOY ADDICT!"


Fuel efficiant, rock steady in the water, carries more weight, and "alloy" be nimble & "alloy" be quick!

WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING????
PREACHIN TO THE CHOIR....MY BAD.

It's hopefully some BUCKS, and not a new career path. I don't take to NEW very easy.

I have 150G's in fishing at least. And I gotta do what ever it takes to stay in Biz.
Thanks to a whole bunch of greedy idiots in the world and in Washington.

Pete, that must be a Aussie saying.....because I'd rather be fishing in my own boat, than attempting this change.

Not much business to be had in the towing scene here, either. Everyones going broke.

Except them darn rich Alaskans!

A lot of them Alaskans are going broke too if it makes you feel any better :sad:

Anyway, if you get serious about that assistance towing I'll find you a beefy NW alloy workboat purpose built for the job . . . what's your budget?

Oh . . . and don't be this guy
