  1. It is a nice boat, thanks for the kind words. I have fished it several times out to Bethel Shoals, thats about 30 miles east of Sebastian Inlet. Of course I used good judgement and kept a good eye on the weather. Of course she is great on fuel so it's easy to afford the trip. nice boat Thanks

  3. How is the leaning post & T-Top bolted ? Can They be removed easy ? McKee Craft boats have a .09" aluminum backing plate system bonded into the deck for mounting the T Top znd leaning post. The legs of both the leaning post and T Top are attached with stainless steel screws to the deck, and there are 2 brackets on either side of the console with 2 stainless steel thru bolted. You probably could remove both in an hour.
  4. Looks nice did you add an after market T-Top & leaning post? How fast with the T-TOP & without the T-TOP ? What prop are you using ? Yep, I did a the t top and leaning post. I'm not sure of the prop off the top of my head. She will run in the upper 40's (46 or 47 on the gps) with the t top

  8. Welcome aboard neighbor, Sebastian Inlet here
  9. Last summer we came upon a really large school of baitfish all balled up just outside Sebastian Inlet on an outgoing tide, there were probably 15 boats surronding it and the bluefish and jacks were tearing it up from underneath and the birds were working the top. It had to be 30-40 ft across and the water looked like it was boiling. The ball moved from the mouth of the inlet to the north jetty, then close to the breakers and then back out to 40 ft of water on a meandering path heading north. It was a fun hour, we didn't land anything but had some really long runs on 15lb test spinning gear on a couple of the jacks.
