  1. Great photos! I saw them at FLIBS Love that twin-hull setup, gives them some rooooomy decks, and that's a real plus. You can move around, cast your lines, and it doesn't feel cramped. I noticed at the show there's a learning curve with that dual-hull design, especially when it comes to docking. But most folks I've talked to say it's not a deal-breaker once you get the hang of it. I like 'em
  2. My buddy had a Glasstream. That modern design is pretty sharp They're known for their speed and agility, so you can cruise or do some serious fishing or watersports. He claims they handle well in choppy waters.
  3. They arer built for one thing: catching fish. LOL! Spacious decks, plenty of room to cast lines and the twin hulls give a steady ride even when it's a bit dicey.
  4. The Klamath 18 OPW, is a no-nonsense kind of boat, it's built tough. With that welded aluminum hull, you can take it out in some choppy waters without worrying about dings and dents. It's like a tank on the water. 18 feet gives you enough space for your gear and another person, but it's still manageable solo. That open layout is ok for fishing. You've got the freedom to move around and cast your lines just the way you like it. It's pretty versatile with power options.
  5. I made a list! 😁 "Aye, Aye, Captain!": A sign of respect and acknowledgment from the crew to the captain, often heard in movies. "All hands on deck!": A call for everyone to come help with something, usually during an emergency or when there's a lot of work to be done. "Smooth sailing": Referring to a situation that's going well without any troubles. "Batten down the hatches": Preparing for a storm by securing everything on deck and closing all openings (hatches) to prevent water from getting below deck. "Dead in the water": When a boat isn't moving due to engine failure or other issues. "Learning the ropes": Referring to the process of learning and becoming familiar with the various ropes and lines on a boat, often used to describe learning a new skill. "Shipshape and Bristol fashion": Signifying that everything is in perfect order and well-organized. "In the same boat": Meaning that two or more people are in the same difficult or challenging situation. "By and large": Originally a nautical term to describe a ship's ability to sail both against and with the wind. "Three sheets to the wind": Referring to someone who is very drunk, with "sheets" referring to the ropes that control sails on a ship. "Anchors aweigh!": A cry to signal that the anchor is off the seabed and the ship is under way. "Between the devil and the deep blue sea": Referring to a difficult or perilous situation with no easy choices. "Sailing close to the wind": Referring to taking risks or pushing boundaries, often used metaphorically. "A rising tide lifts all boats": An economic saying that suggests that when the general economy is doing well, everyone benefits. "A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for": Encouraging taking risks and venturing into the unknown.
  6. One that folks around here seem to like is "Tides Near Me." It's pretty straightforward, gives you real-time tide predictions for wherever you're at. Nice and user-friendly, with charts and graphs to make sense of it all. Then there's "Tide Chart." It's known for its accuracy, and it's got some handy extras like moon phases and sunrise/sunset times, which can come in handy for planning your fishing trips. If you need weather radar too, "NOAA Hi-Def Radar" might be your jam. It's got tide info along with weather radar, so you can keep an eye on both in one place. The all-encompassing, "Navionics" has tide and current data, plus detailed nautical charts and navigation tools.
