    Almost, these group members want to drive around in zodiacs making sure that nobody is bothering the whales, sea lions etc. Drives me insane when I see whales and turn off engines and sounders to float around and watch them, within ten minutes some hippies in a zodiac with a flag will roar over...

    Hating on Alaskans?

    C Numbers, Stability Test & Insurance

    Divers can be hard on your boat. You want stout aluminum. I used to dive to 100 m off my aluminum gillnetter, lots of lead weights and aluminum tanks. Good thing it was stout.

    In Hindsight Advice (seeking not giving)

    Right on. I hate those tirekickers that do that crap. I give stuff away free instead of dealing with that. I just wanted to sell this stuff at a decent price, not get charged with aggravated assault because of a dumba$$ tirekicker. I find it better to get them to add more gear, if the boat is...

    For Sale 1992 Commander 30

    I guess my point is that the good mechanic is key. Whether it is outboards or inboards. Otherwise you are into fresh power every few years. I am very mechanically inclined and have different mechanics for my Volvo and my Yamahas. Both are now reliable and give me joy.

    For Sale 1992 Commander 30

    Big commercial fishboats do not put fresh power in every few years, except for the yahoos, and ordinarily run one main engine. They too have restricted fishing times that are very costly to miss with break downs.

    Best 6-8hp inflatable motor

    I have a Yamaha 4 stroke 8hp. Internal tank with external plumbing too. Nice flexibility for a dink. It is still fun to run WOT by yourself.

    Wanted: Shimano 200 GT Mooching Reel

    Big Fish - Big Spoons or Plugs?

    Obviously the spoon guys have no confidence! I find it amazing how different gear kills it at different locations, but targeting the same fish stock.
