this thread is the perfect way to get my morning started

7/28/2005 10:57:47 AM

it's a rough life, but I think I'm gonna be back down in swansboro

hopefully I can go out saturday and catch some more kings


I might tow my jon boat down there if I can convert it into a flounder boat soon enough

7/28/2005 11:05:24 AM

What's to convert??? Throw the following in the boat and consider it converted.

1. Gig
2. Pole
3. Cooler for fish
4. Cooler for beer
5. Battery
6. Clamp-on lights

Done.

7/28/2005 11:09:42 AM

I need to buy the lights and stuff

I need a new trolling motor because mine is at the bottom of shearon harris

and I need to get the gas motor running

7/28/2005 11:11:02 AM

Oh, then you are indeed fucked for the weekend. lol

7/28/2005 11:12:55 AM

well if worse comes to worse, I have paddles

I can buy a trolling motor at wally world and return it later to buy a better one through bass pro shops

I still need a gig though

ski/wakeboarding boats =

slow, and too twitchy ... but yes they can pull a stump off the bottom but honestly who cares the only reason one would need them is for slolom skiing cause you need power and no wake to do that... otherwise just get a deep v w/ a big block and a wb bar and a wake boarder will be happy

7/28/2005 12:37:57 PM

you can ski from anything

I need a fishing boat

7/28/2005 12:46:04 PM

There is a SAIL boat in Beaufort...rigged with outriggers!!!!!! The guy supposedly whacks the hell out of 'em out there.

"Would you care for another glass of wine, dear?"

pop/zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"Let me bring this tuna in first, honey."

7/28/2005 12:55:08 PM

I'm gonna set my jon boat up for slow trolling also

7/28/2005 12:57:30 PM

best thread ever... I like motor boats okay but my real love is with sailboats. i would love to build wooden boats. I like racing most, i think.

i've raced:
optimist
sunfish
laser
420
fireball
lightning
j-24

i'd say i like lightnings and fireballs the most

tho j-24 was fun too

7/28/2005 2:14:13 PM

I've been checking on building some boats myself. This is something like what I want to do first. Easy to trailer, can be launched from the surf, under motor power, or rowed.

7/28/2005 2:20:31 PM

I waterski ... I hate sailboats ... fuck slowing down for 'em

7/28/2005 2:20:57 PM

You are the reason I drink bottled beer instead of canned.

They can troll at an awesome speed. I seen it

7/28/2005 3:24:39 PM

Fireballs are fun little boats.

7/28/2005 3:27:42 PM

We broke down (before the new motor) in the tarpon tourney 2 years ago, last day of the tourney. Called Tow Boat US. They towed us 26 miles back to the dock. We were damn near to Ocracoke. lollllll

He got us under tow, I checked the GPS...8 mph...hmmmm, so I said what the hell. I broke out the tarpon sticks cause I know the guy isn't going to slow down for us if we catch anything. The crew is laughing their asses off at me...until we started nailing spanish mackeral on the long tow home. Damn fish felt like tuna at that speed.

7/28/2005 3:31:17 PM

bttt.... we need more pics to oogle over.

Shearline




Best Outboard Powered Boat...Period. 2 year waiting list for a hull. They also make one with Quad outboards.

7/28/2005 4:02:14 PM

Shearline makes gorgeous boats. Absolutely love that style.

Here's the little sailor.

7/28/2005 4:09:52 PM

7/28/2005 4:16:19 PM

I see a whole bunch of noise-making, gas-guzzling, budweiser-powered redneck stinkpots posted here.

Be a real mariner, take some fucking risk:



Sail 523 Nautical miles in the open ocean on a boat thats not much bigger than the average family's SUV.

7/28/2005 4:30:16 PM

It was all trey anyway.

7/28/2005 4:34:47 PM

man, driving a boat out in the gulf is one of the funner experiences i've had

and being on a glass-bottomed boat with my middle school class in 4 foot waves as they all got sick and threw up while i was standing at the top having the time of my life gave me plenty of fodder to make fun of them with

yay boats

7/28/2005 4:34:58 PM

i plan to buy a hatteras yacht someday

fucking bomb ass shit

you know when you pick a pattern for whatever, be it the curtains or the sheets or whatever

they take that pattern out of the style library

STRAIGHT BOMBULISTIC

7/28/2005 4:36:28 PM

don't you mean more fun?

7/28/2005 4:36:37 PM

Hey Restricted-

Did you just search for those pics on another forum? If so, I love that one. Lots of good info and good people.

I'd post some pics......don't know how here.

7/28/2005 4:36:47 PM

What forum do you speak of?

Take some fucking risks? Have you been 43 miles off shore and had the wind shift on you and go from 10 knots to 35? Have you surfed up 14 monsters and have your bow plow into the next one? Have you been stuck in a squall offshore with no where to go? Have you been in 7-8 foot waves in 4 feet of water in the pitch dark? Have you ever heard the sound of a breaking wave offshore or the scream of twin screws overreving because they came completely out of the water?

7/28/2005 4:44:29 PM

^^^Yeah . I never post on there boat I wanted to find those damn photos.

7/28/2005 4:45:37 PM

lol, and yes, well except for the 7-8 waves in 4 feet of water in the dark. My asshole would have chewed right through my pants!!! God damn son!!!

7/28/2005 4:46:04 PM

That was a scary experience. It was early morning and we hadn't realized how bad the channled had shifted. Any higher and we would have bottomed out for sure. The depth finder was reading between 4.7 and 5.1

Oooooooh. How about NO?

Yea, I am Budweiser-powered redneck, but at least my lump of fiberglass puts me on top of the fish and gets me home every night, no matter what conditions we go through.

7/28/2005 5:03:29 PM

^amen brother.

7/28/2005 5:04:17 PM

BALLING is more FUN

7/28/2005 5:10:26 PM

maugan is always whining about boats

I honestly could care less about sailing, I think it's cool, but I'd rather be on a powerboat catching fish

yeah, take that little sailboat through an inlet at low tide

7/28/2005 5:43:04 PM

booo fucking hooo.

I've got some offshore stories that would make that seem like a goddamned children's book.

35 knots aint shit.

14 footers aint shit.

Close. But I was in a catamaran, not a stinkpot. If I had something that had a motor and a depth finder, it surely wouldn't find itself in 4 feet of water with 7 foot waves. (I'm assuming it was 4' in the trough of the wave)



[Edited on July 28, 2005 at 6:14 PM. Reason : its funnay]

7/28/2005 6:07:05 PM

oh and fyi,

I'll be sailing this weekend out at Nag's Head or Kitty Hawk. Can't decide.

7/28/2005 6:23:42 PM

That's fine and dandy. But catch dinner while you're doing it, THEN report back to us...with pics you fucking blow boater!

7/28/2005 8:33:15 PM

HAHHAHAHAH yes it is an awesome hull.... but.... THAT HULL IS VERY SIMILAR TO FOUNTAIN"S
hahahaha ......


and riverboats are nearly useless with all the traffic on lakes these days
