This is from an old post "It's a Suzuki 3 blade stainless 14 x 20. It has vent holes at the base of each blade. It's the original prop that the dealer fitted when he installed the motor. I run fairly heavy, with lots of rods, gear, anchors, coolers, and always 30 -55 gallons of gas. The hard...

I ran a zuke DF140 on my v20. Stainless 3x14x20 prop...perfect...no trim tabs

Usually see them in NJ past 20 fathom line in July/Aug/Sept. Only saw them once this year in Chicken Canyon. Probably same reason the mahi didn't make a big show this year.

Fall 2020 striper bite is on! Fall Bass run is ON!! We got out for the evening bite on reports from our dock buddies of stripers to 50 pounds. Bite was off Long Branch, busting under birds. All action was on small jigs on the surface. Dropping caught dogfish. I was using a Deadly Dick.

awesome!:love:

BIG Thanks to Capt Bob Bogan of the Gambler for this shot of us boating a yellowfin!

Look at the tilt of the head boat behind me. He was rolling in a trough. It wasn't slicking off, just the angle going away...Photos never capture the sea state well. It was an honest wind blown 3 to 5 swell. About as rough as you would want to fish in a 26 footer (especially at 70 miles). A V20...

if you are a lake fishing guy it'll do...maybe. If you run in the ocean with 20#/30# class outfits up there, it'll shake apart. I'm guessing they used plastic rodholders to keep weight down and keep the price down. It would need to be a lot beefier to handle metal rodholders.

10.18.2020 trip We couldn't wait any longer. "Iffy" forecast but it was flat when we left at 5 am. Plan was to run 78 miles to the hot yellowfin tuna bite out past Triple wrecks, catch some YFT, go out to Hudson if the weather was good and troll pots for Mahi, then hit some wrecks on the way...

Nice!:clap:

Some news for all you flukers out there. The guy who docks next to me was fluking at Shrewsbury Rocks, saw bunker getting busted, threw a popper and landed a 61" bluefin and hour later.

yft We overnighted at the Hudson Canyon where we lost a yft at the boat and boated another. On the way in we hit the the hot yellowfin bite near the Haskell wreck. Boated two nice yellowfins there. Chunking butterfish with 40# leader and a tiny circle hook was the ticket. Nice day turned ugly...

When my brother lived in FL he would smoke the kings...then throw them away....:nut:

My brother just bought a big daiwa BG for popping tuna. It was a rod/reel combo that was half the price of the Penn slammer combo. Both solid metal housings, both no longer click the bail back for you when you wind (I guess thats the new thing), same test line and capacity, both anti reverse...

Didn't pull skiers but did pull kneeboards and tubes. I think it will pull skiers no problem Here is some tubing video to give you a sense. https://youtu.be/7kq83TXK4Y0

I had a 2003 DF140. These were my numbers on an 84 cuddy, 25" transom, with a hard top and enclosure. 3 blade 14x20 Suzuki prop Cruises 30 mph @ ~3.5mpg Top speed ~36mph heavy ...~39 mph very light I ran in the ocean where going faster than 30mph in a 2000 pound boat was not possible very...

Got out 100 miles to Toms Canyon overnight. Forecast hottest days of the year, calm seas, light winds. Left at 3 pm and hit fog at 40 miles...never ending fog...wet, damp, cold fog. With the radar and AIS we were able to get to the canyon by 7:30pm. Trolled until dark. Set up swordfish baits...

horns are made in the same chinese factory as trailer lights. There are no good ones.

$7500 is generous. That must have been an I/O originally. Deck has been replaced?

nice!
