BIL and his son came into town for the weekend. Took them and my son and son -in-law for a surf fishing trip. Heard good reports from Cape San Blas, so we drove down there. Got our usual crack of noon start. Had a great time and brought these home. the smallest is 11.5 inches, the others...

Mine was a little slower, around 38 mph. I bought mine from a friend who owned a prop shop. At the time, we were doing a lot of diving, so he had it propped for more torque than speed. Loaded with 60 gallons of fuel,4 divers, 8 tanks and all the other stuff it takes to breath under water, it...

Agree with Blue, If that picture would have been on the brochure, they would not have stopped production of the V.

Didn't we use to have a way to look up members alphabetically?

Could u do the same thing with a downrigger? Just wondering, I have never heard of lead core line.

CONGRATS, Cfelton. Your gonna be amazed at how busy you will be. And how many people think you have nothing better to do than work on their stuff. Looking forward to hearing about your new V20 adventures.

Seakeeper in a V20! Ray Hunt would be proud. Please keep the photos coming

WOW!! U been busy, looks great.

When we troll for king/spanish/grouper, you never stop the boat. Especially if u have more than 2 lines out. If you are in a pattern with other boats, peel off out of the loop and go deal with your fish, then troll back in the parade when finished. If u need any Penn parts and can't find...

Very true,G. I tried to save some scraps for my son to give to OZ. He was not interested. I might have to sneak some over there. Scook, that sounds like a great trip. I’ve got some buddies I’ve fished with for 45 years. I try to get them to go, but always to busy or unable to go. My wife...

Scook,Everybody enjoyed the meal. Cooked all 6 filets at once. Smaller ones were a little overcooked,but no leftovers Blue, those penn rods have a synthetic cork handles that get slick after time, That tape works great. I was worried it would hold fish slime and smell, but been on there for...

My BIL was in town last week, so we launched the V and went to the island. Walked over and caught 2 small pomps. First blood,2026. But nothing to get excited about. Went a couple of times during this week, nada. Loaded the truck last night, went to the state park this morning. Had the place...

I think FFM is saying it doesn’t take long to run gas out of a tank on a boat. No matter how much u stuff in it.
