Another great point for you guys on batteries--One Good/high cca rating battery and a deep cycle for the second battery with a high reserve capacity. I handle charging, starting and battery issue's or prevention there of for a living.

Then you are sick and crazy mofo's---sometimes I think I am nutts--Now I know u guys are!:oh:

Just how it is off the nw coast--once and awhile we get like a 1' swell @ 14 secs and no chop--those days are cherished dearly. Swells--more about timing and direction than size. picture below is a cherished day--right on the beach.

I have duals in the back--one on each side--pain to get to, but are not all batteries. I have thought of moving them up front as well(I would run a 2/0 battery cable from there to the motor-only about$105 for 25') but I would lose some iceing and storage for my tuna runs, and the pounding they...

First trip offshore-got caught offshore and ran as soon as it started picking up--but in 30 minutes it can really build fast..button down the hatchs and hang on...40 knot winds--a sharp 5 to 6' and when I hit the"hole in the wall" to get between the shore and tatoosh island--with the swell, wind...

I have the 200ho (3.3 litre) and really enjoy the economy and performance.. Comparing to my friends with comparable 4 strokes, I out run and out gun them with just slightly better economy. I average in the 3.4mpg when running for tuna, loaded heavy with a tote of salt ice, 4 guys and equipment...

You must be kidding? 55mph--lol naw, around 25 going out and round 32 coming in--- You are right--first time in 6 years of doing tuna runs that I got both on board at the same time. Salmon I get them both on board as well as halibut trips.

This trip I got both my sons out--great day and good eats.

I would not do nos--I learned many moon ago about that--lol=$$ I am way to happy the way it is--if I want to go that fast I will go out on my buddy 38 fountain--103+--crazy

I just ordered a NOS 150 shot for the E-TEC--- Figure the way the hp vs speed is working---should be able to switch from my 19p to a 23p chopper and hit in the neighborhood of 70+ :laugh:

The trailer looks like it is for a 17 or 18' boat maybe. You will find out when you get going about 60mph. The pictures are in modifications section I believe. My computer with the pictures is in getting fixed.

I am right at the same but around 34kts--last trip out for tuna got 3.6 mpg and that is loaded down---with a two stroke too.

Good job---nice catch--looking like some good eating.

these tuna run the circle of the pacific ocean--last year the tuna were tested for radiation from the Japanese nuc plant melt down--clean--so no problem out here. If you are fishing bottom fish-- I would not eat them out of seattle or tacomas harbors--but salmon are fine as they are just doing...

I will have to strip the boat to see that now--50 yes--can hit that speed since I put in 2 thru hull water pickups, 1 washdown and 1 for bait tank and the radar arch and stand up top--all hurt me--but that is plenty fast for a fishing boat! I could only hit 47.2 coming in from tuna--of...

sorry--women do not grow a winter coat--thinking of AK--LOL Thanks guys--I have put a lot into the ole V-20 and try my best to keep her looking good. Albacore tuna--no limit--only what you have for ice capacity--about half a tote in the forward hold and centerhold--the rest of the tote in a...

Salmon close to shore--tuna started at 52 miles out.

What prop are you running now, the 18 or 17? And a rebel--right?

As stated--depends on your tow rig. I towed boats over 40000 miles in a year with my Tahoe, boats from 20 to 27', and always left in overdrive. The computer will tell the tranny what gear it needs to be in. PS-That is the factory trans in the Tahoe with 188,000 miles, serviced every 30,000...

Awesome, sounds like you are a happy camper now. Glad I could help ya out, some how--lol. Now save up and get that I-command gauge. Enjoy time now. How is the fuel burn---happy with it?
