Let's talk boats

[Curval]

But where do you cut the bait?   

Damn dude, you have a one track mind.  lol 

I'll help you with golf (as best I can) and you can help me with fishing.  Be cool to have someone show me how to rig a line for some big tuna, use outriggers properly etc.  I honestly don't have a clue.  My only real experiences (prior to hurling for the rest of the day) in fishing for the big stuff involved people handing me a rod and strapping me in the chair.

Watch this short documentary about boats by Dr. Steve Brule before you make your decision.  I found it very informative.

Back in the day, raced a boat like this,



Low 80s with a stock 75hp OMC motor.

[Flench]

I use to have the same motor  ,lol . That thing was some kind of heavy .

Was the crash helmet useful?

  Sweet Milo!    Ever get a chance to race up on Georgian Bay?    Oh and do you remember the seaflea series?

   Helmet came in handy on those!  very easy to flip!

No morf never had a race up there but did race a few times in your neck of the woods > Welland and Cambridge. Blew the boat over backwards in Miami (trimmed too high and caught a gust off the stadium).

Was Canadian High Points champion in the boat.

The other boat I raced was a 13' fiberglass V bottom powered by a stock 75hp OMC which would do around 65mph. They were hairy boats to drive as the only part of the boat touching the water was the last foot or so of the bottom and the half the lower unit of the motor. No motor trim either.

Seafleas. Never had one but there was quite a few at the cottage.

Ever been to Detroit to watch the Unlimited run?

curval, good choice of boat, cats are always better and more fuel efficient then a monohull. good in heavy weather, and easy to manuever. take it from a professional captain. good luck and best wishes!! ps ocean yachts, while nice boats, suck as far as heavy weather. ive fished them, i know!

I couldn't help but remember my post vasectomy "test"...I had to bring in a sample.  Unfortunately I didn't screw the top on tightly and when I pulled it out of my very wet pocket and put it on the counter (where it left a ring) the nurse looked up and sort of went "Oh my God...ewwww" and told me I needed to get another because it wasn't enough.  I asked if she could throw away the bottle on the counter for me and she went to reach for it, stopped and then pointed at a trash can across the room. Had to go home and change. LOL

I used to watch boats like that and crackerbox class race in Seattle back in the 70's. Very cool stuff.

  I grew up on Georgian Bay! And yes I've seen plenty of the unlimited but back when they ran Merlins and Allisons!  My Dad was friends with the owner of Miss Sunoco and years later I worked in a shop that had Guy Lumbardo's unlimited,cant recall it's name.

  Since they've been running turbines I lost interest.  There was quite abit of racing in your class going on, on the "Bay" back then,thought I might have seen you !

  A buddy of mine did tech inspection on the drag boats that run on lake Fanshaw,so I used to go hang around that quite a lot.

So, my buddy and I went to see a boat today that we both agree is a serious possibility.

Pursuit 315 offshore.  2011 with twin 300s that only have 80 hours on them.

The thing is basically brand new, still smells new.

Not a World Cat but similar look and has more room in the cabin.  Very very sweet boat. 

We may have found the one.
