  1. My Boggy Creek Diablo. It's an ideal marsh skiff for over here in the marshes of LA.
  2. Hope you don't have any nasty floods on tghe river. That could get interesting.
  3. One day I am going to make it to that show. Have fun. Can't wait to see the pics.
  4. Wow, just wow. Honda had it right with their "Stupid Hurts" campaign.
  5. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a late model Sea Fox for my intended use. I am not a hard core fisherman and I take very good care of my stuff, so it should last me indefinitely. I would let someone else take the initial depreciation hit though!
  6. No need to overthink or overcomplicate this. If you think your life and or property are in immediate danger, use the proword Mayday spoken 3 times to introduce your call. "Mayday, mayday, mayday, this is motor vessel Rusty taking on water in Sebastian Inlet over." Otherwise just make a callout for the Coast Guard on 16. "Coast Guard Miami, this is motor vessel Rusty over." This coming from a Coast Guard SAR coordinator.
  7. I split my time between LA and MS. I came over from the other forum.
  8. I took a four week Coast Guard course, a one week commercial RHIB course and have taken numerous day courses.
  9. Pioneer does make some nice looking boats of very good quality. I don't count the one pictured among them. I'm not crazy about the "hips" for lack of a better word that they are putting on some boats these days. What functional purpose do the flares in the gunnels near the stern serve?
  10. Are you retarded? He is and has been detailing his experiences in trying to purchase a boat. Nothing more, nothing less. The good and the bad. The purpose is to inform, educate and entertain his audience. He does a very good job. I have been enjoying his contributions for a while. He is much fairer minded than I would be too. I would have spelled out the name of the people and companies I dealt with. You seem to think there is some kind of bias in his story. Are you just foaming at the mouth, or do you know the other side of the story?
  11. I like the baitrunners OK. They tend to be heavy for their size though.
  12. You might find that the Mann's struggle to track true as your trolling speed increases. My buddy swears by Bombers and eschews all others.
