Since the wife totaled the other Benz on the 101, I had to go and get another car out of storage. Good news is now I have room to park the Shamrock inside. Uncovered the 560, tuned her up, all new fluids, replaced 4 rotors and new brakes. Brand new set of tires and we were ready for the road.

Now I have another boat coming in. c ranger tug 25ftr. Might have her by August. 500 mile range on 75 gals.

Dude, you woke up in the wrong side of the bed this morning or what?

I wouldn't have said nothing about going out on the new boat had you said you it was a family only affair.

Sorry you took it all the wrong way.

Them is my colors man. Irish Jarhead.

Alan, why would you want to go on one of my POS boats that I can't shut off? Dang man you'd better get permission from gd, he'd probably get po'd about me "stealing" you off the spitfire.

Sorry Alan. I don't want to upset the apple cart anymore by inviting people to go fishing on my rotten old boats that might blow up any time. So it's gonna be me and the wife or just me from now on. Don't really need the drama here.

Alan I do have a nice customized 73 Chevy Van you could live in. Fully equipped too.
Price is right for you and only 28,000 miles on it.

Alan,

Thanks for the pm but I'll answer you here.

Decided not to invite anymore. Makes it real simple and easy for me to just go out and fish or cruise by myself or with the Redhead without any drama. It's only 25 ft so I don't have a lot of room.

Sorry about that.

Hey BR, think this one will do the 3-4 day dealio ok?

Default An Invite to Fish
GD,

I don't know how this went south so quickly so please give me a minute here, not in an open forum.

Since we don't know each other I'd like to extend an invite to you to come along on my boat, go fishing, have some fun and discover a little more about each other instead of jamming one another on a web site in open forums.

I can assure you my boat is well maintained and equipped with safety gear and Coast Guard Inspected. Vessel Assist and Insured.

My next outing is tomorrow Saturday 29th. Just bring your gear. Lunch, Liquids, fuel and bait are on me.

If it's not a good date, let me know when you would be willing to give it a try.

This is just my way of trying to bury the hatchet.

Ron

That's a nice 25fter Ron
Looks like shes brand new.
Looks like that one could set you back between 80k/130k
Dont see any corrision on the trl like your Shamrock :rofl: J/K :mrgreen:
Your Shamrock could be nice sleeping under the stars.
When the weather warms anyway
Everything on deck does get very wet at night though. :cry:

My season should start next week.
Keep upgrading the boat.
If the ocean doesn't roll over again.
Looking at a three day Catalina trip next week.
Adding a external anchor alarm buzzer down in the aftcabin.
And a 22lb claw anchor.
Earplugs go in. Will be sleeping good.
Till 1:00AM/3:00 AM when the boat swings with the outgoing tide.
Then that buzzer goes off in my ear.
Wonder if that's when the WSB bite :)

I'd be willing to go on a long voyage with Broken Rod because his boat has a radar.
But I messed up O-L
I bought a 36 mile radar.
For a boat that only has a 10 mile range.

I should have bought a boat with a 36 mile range.
Then put a 10 mile radar on it

Then we could have made the long voyage past the jetty :) J/K
The radar is nice a night.
It illuminates them unlit float tubers and dinghies hiding in the darkness late at night

OK,

BR, The corrosion issue led me to a new boat. I can't handle crud on my gear. Now I have to do the whole Shamrock and trailer to clean it up. The Shammy is going to get a redo after the ranger comes in. I do have a tent set up for the Islands on the stern. Nice and dry. Porta pooper too. BBQ for din din. So yeah, lets buddy boat on out there.


ZT

Rule of thumb for American made.

Gas.
V-8
No less than 270hp.

Diesel.
4 to 8 Cyls

Can't let the Chevy Van go just to anybody. One_Leg is special. 350, 4x4 custom chassis.
Really not for sale.

yet.

I'll take some pics this weekend.

As for the Benz, sorry guys. My wife deserves it and I'm pwhipped. Sue me.

Not this weekend.
Im finding it cheaper to buy new toys for her.
Then it is to buy fuel.

So shes apart again.

My trl has rust :angry:
Just changed out the grease seals. Alls good there.
Home depot has a primer with a 5 yr guarantee of no rust
Says you can apply it over rust.
With a rustoleum topcoat. Who Knows.

If the big fish were bitting more consistant.
The boat would be done already

I don't think.
Anybody thinks they want to fish with me.
I screw around to much on line
That's OK,
Leaves more room for me on the boat.


Kind of like farting at the dinner table
Everybody leaves.
Then I have more food to eat


I don't get serious,
Till I hear my V8 fire up
And hear the clunk of my Mercruiser going into gear

BR, you better cover that rust up quick. It might get worse otherwise.

There is no truth to the rumor that I am going to fish for trout exclusively.
There is however a grain of truth regarding the rumor that I will be competing in the Diamond Valley Lake Spring Smackdown to be held at the "Jewel Of California" Diamond Valley Lake, located in Hemet California.

I will be targeting the lakes legendary Holdover Rainbow trout.

Nice pics there O_L
In the first series of pics
Looks like I could pass them off as a WSB :rolleyes:

Funny,
I pictured grannyfish as a 65 yr old 5'1" 95lb gray haired woman.
Now I want to sell my 26fter.
Go buy a Valco.
And do some trout-en :lol:

That rust snuck up on me.
Hidden under the fenders.
Guess good things come of,
Spending your days, Laying around underneath the boat.
Admiring the V bottom. (actually was bleeding the brakes)
Already have all paint and supplies to nip that in the butt.

They prolly fight like a WSB too.........................LOL That was for Hakaveli. :rofl:

Lots of people share the same misconception concerning Grannyfish. :shock:

BR, are you saying that you are gonna paint the undersides of your fenders, or that the rust eroded all the way through your fenders from the bottom?

I don't think that paint is gonna last very long on the bottom of your fenders?
Salt water is very corrosive I guess?

Just surface rust in the wheelwell. Bottom side of trl fenders only.

Ive had the boat 5 yrs. It sits on a painted trl.
Its now due to clean up the surface rust.

Wire wheel all rust spots.
Got a no rust guarantee primer for 5 yrs
Will top coat it with rustoleum enamel paint.
Will roll it on very thick.

Should last a good two years with touch up.
If not, Will coat with truck bedliner coating.

Since I just waxed the boat on Sat. And the project boat is almost finished
Think i will post some pics of my 23 yr old project boat latter on Sunday. :shock:
