The Salmon Assassin

[Salmon Assassin]

The Salmon Assassin is a 1988 24' Sea Ray Sorrento which was converted from a pleasure craft to a fishing vessel. The boat is powered by a 5.7L Mercruiser Alpha One and trolled by a 1984 Honda 9.9HP. There is an Alantic Tower which was customized to fit the boat, New to the boat this year is a completely redone cabin, all the wood on the boat was sanded, stained, and varnished. The old downrigger platform used to run across the back, this year I had it cut and had custome mounts made in order to keep the back wide open.... I fish four electric big jon captains pack downriggers, Berts ratching rod holders for dipsys, Perko holders on the tower for boards... I find the fish with LCX27c and Depth Raider..... I upgraded this year to almost all Okuma Connvectors (huge difference over the Magdas)......... Anyone from the Milwaukee area every needs a fishing partner, please let me know... I fish mainly weekdays...

My next projects for the boat in the next year or so include:

1. Adding an Sportpilot X5

2. Adding Radar

3. Converting the lounge seats to captains chairs

Most importantly, just enjoying the boat and getting out there to kill fish and relax....

Looking good Adam, nice rig!

I wish I could take credit for the full conversion, the previous owner did a helluva job with her.
