I love the boat. Fairly deep, 101" beam....just waiting to get to where i can get up and finish some work on her from last season and then I'll be good to go.
Grant Sadler Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Dave, where have you been? long time NO hear or see are you on the BIG boat or are you in LOVE? talk to ya soon I hope, are you doing the tornments at HB?Grant: kingchaser
TopDawG Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Well Grant, little bit of everything. Worked on The Stewart J. Cort for a month to finish up the end of the shipping season last year. Then well in love and moved in with her in Davison. I live right next to the Grab Bag Tackle. I will be fishing the early tourneys on southern lake huron this year and hopefully get back over to ludington to defend our title on Z-1. Actually working on the teak wood from the boat as we speak. I am sure I will be seeing around some more if the ice ever melts and if we have enough water to lauch this year. Al said you were going to launch April 1st? Better have reinforced glass on your boat when you break the ice on your way out!!!

I did the install on the kicker. full controls from the drivers seat. Really good deal, at an auction on a new 08. With any luck it should be on the water on saturday. At least for a few hours.

BenLubbs Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Here's my rig I'll post new pictures soon of it all cleaned and rigged up. Can't wait for it to be ready. BTW, does anyone from west michigan know of a boat by the name of Char n' Time. The guy lives right by a friend of mine and it's a really nice looking boat but I've never gone over to talk to him or look at it. Edited March 29, 2011 by BenLubbs grammer
eastcoasttransplant Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Maybe Dave but the fish don't know it.Guys used to laugh when I'd paddle out in my kayak back in the coastal bays of NJ but then they would scowl when I was bringing in large striped bass and bluefish. Run a good spread and the fish don't care if your in a Tiara Yacht or on a surfboard.Maybe I actually be able to take a pic of my boat this saturday and put it up here. cool post guys.
Rascal Trophy Fishing Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 According to the scriptures, wasn't Jona swallowed by a Whale? Naw, can't be, he's a Viking from Sweden, just like my ancestors from Norway, okey-dokey? Nice boat though Jonas, thanks, and good fishing over yonder.

eastcoasttransplant Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Ok well our boat looks a little different now, with the addition of windshield extension, side curtains and a bimini top, but here's one of the first pics we took after picking her up. 2010 Tracker ProGuide Vee 175WT with 115HP 4 stroke Mercury Outboard.
Smells Like...Fish! Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Depending on the day we will be on one of these!
KJ pluggin Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Nice looking boats Mike, what kind of boat is this?
jimcr Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Ok well our boat looks a little different now, with the addition of windshield extension, side curtains and a bimini top, but here's one of the first pics we took after picking her up. 2010 Tracker ProGuide Vee 175WT with 115HP 4 stroke Mercury Outboard. Windshield extentions? I 'll have to see those. Do you have the rounded rail or the new flat one?
eastcoasttransplant Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 When you go to the canvas shop they simply call them windshields. Basically. I have a 3/4 enclosure with clear vinyl going up to the bimini top from the windshield (what I call a windshield extension), clear vinyl sides that go back to around the stern cleats and my actual binimi top.As far as rails, I removed the metal rails and installed Berts Custom Tackle tracks for my rodholders and downriggers. I'll try to take a better pic this weekend if conditions allow.

KJ pluggin Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Kyle,She is a 1976 Slickcraft SS245. Looks similar to what you have, What is yours?Ours is a 1980 Century 7000 with a custom hardtop. Looks like you took pretty good care of her!
Smells Like...Fish! Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Kyle,We have taken care of them. Both the Mako and Slickcraft were quite a mess when we got them. My wife says that if other people didn't take care of their boats I wouldn't have them!
