  1. Yeah I do have it, but it's in Islamorada and I won;t be there until next month... CMP
  2. I once had a guy who worked for me who felt picked on and persecuted in an unjustified manner. The truth of the matter was that he was roundly disliked due to the manner in which he treated the ppl with whom he was supposed to work. His condescending and generally-assholeish attitude, one wherein he projected an un-earned superiority to those with whom he interacted was the alpha and omega of his problem. The problem was that he refused to look in the mirror and consider that maybe, just mmaybe, it was the way he presented things that made him nearly universally despised by those around him. It was sad to see that it was his actions/words/attitude that ultimately made him useless to the company and I fired him. I pitied him in an odd way but, as is so often the case in these situations, he brought it on himself. At the end of the day, it was addition by subtraction... CMP
  3. Dropped the price twice since January. Come to me with trade ideas, offers, what-have-you... CMP
  4. It's a great time to buy. Like many ppl with boats on the mkt, I've dropped my number substantially. Keep looking-you'll find the right boat at a good number... CMP
  5. October isn't bad for tarpon but they're getting ready to be on the move. Call Ted Wilson. He's a guide out of Bud 'n Mary's and a great guy. http://blog.captaintedwilson.com/ ... CMP
  6. Here's a link to my Bertram 25 Custom. Great boat and price has been reduced a TON. I could use that bike for my Keys place. Let me know what you think... http://www.anglersedgemarine.com/Page.aspx/diid/1891411/list/InventoryList/pageId/61152/view/Details/2008-Bertram-25-Custom-Express-Sportfish-Warranty-until-2010.aspx CMP
  7. As far as lodging in Key West, depends what yer looking for. As it's a honeymoon, congrats, BTW, I'm thinking full service hotel or B n B. The Hilton is nice, but I prefer Southernmost (my fave hotel on the island) or the Reach (Waldorf property) further from town. There are so many good B n B's it's hard to narrow it down. Google them and if you see one you like, go for it. Most are as advertised. You sure you want to stay @Bud's on yer honeymoon? Not exactly posh digs. Graet fishing, accomodations not so much. Consider the Cheeca, Chesapeake, Moorings (higher end) or Casa Morada (cool spot by a great restaurant-old FL feel), Ocean Dawn of the Islander (less expensive, but nice). A TON of great restaurants in both places. In Isla, all are good, but avoid Bentley's. Stick with Lazy Day's, Ziggy n Maddog's, Morada Bay, Pierre's... CMP
  8. With all due respect, Boat, if you don't like it here, leave. Nobody forces you to keep returning so whining and taking shots at Wiley is pretty fucking stupid... CMP
  9. As much as 6-12" coming on Friday. Un-fuggin-real... CMP
  10. Making some fleet changes and although I hate to do it, Scrap Metal is on the market... CMP http://www.anglersedgemarine.com/Page.aspx/diid/1891411/list/InventoryList/pageId/61152/view/Details/2008-Bertram-25-Custom-Express-Sportfish-Warranty-until-2010.aspx
  11. I wish I had some, but since I wasn't planning on selling her, I can't find squat!!! CMP
  12. I might be selling the SeaCraft if a deal that is coming along is as good as it seems, so I thought I'd throw this out there to gauge any real interest. 2001 32' Master Angler, twin 225 Optis with 540 hours (spare pair available, 2004's with under 500 hrs on them). New (July 2010) RayMarine C120 chartplotter w/depth module, Simrad radar and AP20 Autopilot, Fusion MP500 stereo (New July 2010), 5 live wells, massive fish coffin box forward with equally large storage underneath it (coffin box on hydraulic rams). New Awlgrip paint in August '10. Engines were gone over extensively and are in very good condition, new cables, new style throttle/shift controls, Rupps Top Gun Riggers, custom removable gin pole, Bottom soda blasted and ready for barrier coat and paint. GREAT boat in very good condition that I had no plans to sell but I might be looking at a classic "offer I cannot refuse" scenario on another boat. If anyone has interest, please let me know... CMP
  13. The application I had in mind is not a fit for this nice machine. Willing to let it go well below the $800 I paid for it. How about $500 shipped??? CMP
  14. Hang in there Tim, better days are a-comin'... CMP
  15. 16"-20" of drifting snow in southern NH. My garage doors face ENE so I had 4 foot drifts against the doors extending around 15 feet out, diminishing to about a foot deep at the end. Middle of the 80 foot driveway averaged a foot deep until the plow pile at roadside at 3 feet. Over 3 hours with a big Husky snowblower. No need for P90X this morning... CMP
  16. That fat fuck douchenozzle algore didn't invent the internet, but he sure as shit made up global warming! Merry Christmas... CMP
  17. I have 6 of them for sale, great reels but too big for what I want to do with them, so I'm replacing them with a smaller Saltist model. Bought them last year from Tackle Direct @ $239 per plus the cost of the braid (not cheap) and they have hardly any use-6 trips max. They are spooled with 80 lb braid. Spent a lot on these on impulse, so will take the shave. $175 each shipped... CMP
  18. Curious how the fishing is in this little cold front. Heading down this week. Thanks... CMP
  19. Not alot, but I just finished the heating part of the bath/bedroom renovation and have maybe a couple hundred total feet of Pex tubing (5/16" standard size) and around a pack and half (15ish) Quik Trak panels that they go into. I don't need 'em and will be happy to give them to anyone who might need 'em. In southern NH... CMP
  20. A wise old friend of my Grandfather told me when I was 14, if it floats, flies or fucks, rent it. I don't take well to rules... CMP
  21. Man, you guys should have seen all the goombahs and their floating peckers in the Keys this weekend. The Key West boat races were in town and they were blasting all over the place up as far as Islamorada where about 30 of them gathered @ Holiday Isle with the Enviro-cops hanging in the channel until they left. Silly, but sure does look fun... CMP
  22. Bad idea. Freedom boat club exists for and covers that market... CMP
  23. I've used Durabak in several applications but as the reply says, that stuff is VERY agressive from a no-skid standpoint... CMP
