Sorry Margo, there is no nightstand for your brush here. :D This is a new boat in our marina with just some good old Knotty Pine paneling. ;) For those of you in landlocked areas and foreign lands, this is just an old fishing old boat in our area finished off.

Yuck! Looks like a french bordello.

[Alan D. Hyde]

Donn, you mean you went to France and HAD TO PAY?

How very unusual and unfortunate...

Maybe they did the forward berth out of a MS book?

Nice woodwork, oyster.

Thanks for the post.

[Donn]

Alan...the French bordello I'm speaking of is in Cleveland. :D

[John of Phoenix]

Oyster, is that really knotty (naughty ;) ) pine? How do you finish it? It's gorgeous!

[On Vacation]

Donn, looks like 1.8 million dollars to me. tongue.gif
John T, I didn't do that one. Too dang old to mess with it anymore. But the varnish is all spar varnish on the walls and a rivelli [Spelling? ] on the floors. It is that plantation teak but nice hand picked , bookmatched resawn panels.

I like the cockpit much better than the cabin, but, if it's a fishing boat, where are the buckets? And if it's an offshore fisherman, as it appears to be, where are the tuna tubes?

[Scott Rosen]

I really like that chair with the cup holder between the legs.

[Donn]

:D

[On Vacation]

Scot, that will only hold a shot glass full. MOst of those guys use a nipple on the full bottle. :D

Nice boat, Oyster. Any possibility of a full profile photo? What is under the hatches on the stern rail - a bait well?

[On Vacation]

The transom shot box is the fish box and under the aft cockpit is a chiller fish box for tunas and fuel. Donn, we don't use tuna tubes here.

"Donn, we don't use tuna tubes here."

Some of ya do, oyster. How do you keep big baits alive?

[On Vacation]

We use live wells with live bunker or live weakfish. We also chunk and troll with ballyhoo in the winter. When tubes are used in our area, they are placed in the wells if big enough.

[Donn]

Oyster...I know quite a few guys who fish for tuna in your area, and they all use tuna tubes, because they all use 5-10# tuna, bluefish, albies and macks for live bait for big tuna. Up here, we use them for bluefish that are destined to become shark snax.

[On Vacation]

Well I am not an expert in the field, but I have fished the last six years locally for tuna and we don't get 5-10 lb tunas here for bait. We get the false albacore on the fly but they weigh an average of 15 lbs. But in my limited and narrow knowledge of the sport we use ballyhoo and the weakfish here. Just this past two years we have been allowed to sell the Blue Fin.

I am not going to argue over tuna tubes, but one thing for sure we go about five to twelve miles offshore and troll for tuna, or either fish wrecks with the live bait . That Jose fellow, that does the ESPN show on Sunday morning came last year and did an underwater feature of the Blue Fin Tuna.

Another thing is that the owner is happy with french bordello and Ricky Scarboro and all the builders are backed up about two and half years. So someone likes the guts and they are buying them.
