Crazy how fast it seems on the water. Here in the northeast in anything under 40 feet 20 to 25 is the fastest comfortable in a chop. Ive done 70 knots in a 40' yellowfin with twin 7's once and felt like i needed goggles and a helmet
Have you seen the triple 7 motors? Those things are insane both in performance and cost + you're gonna need a "real" transom to house these critters.

We were a dealer.
Crazy seeing shorty headers on an outboard. They had some serious mechanical issues though, got bought out buy volvo, and discontinued.
I think volvo just wanted rights to their zf transmissions
I've never actually seen one in person - probably couldn't afford the cover charge.

They were pretty crazy. Norstar v8 with a big supercharger.
Unfortunately that engine didnt like that kind of boost in a single gear thing like an outboard

pic of a big a** cat fish my son sent me yesterday.
his boat is going thru a coast guard inspection, so it gave the crew time to fish.
they murdered the cat fish.

I was glad to read that they really appear to be caring for and about them.
We saw a complex of pens of them in Hawaii (Navy installation).
where those dolphins drafted, or did they volunteer?

All jokes aside,this is the most effective lure I've ever seen in 45 years of fishing.If they don't bite it ,they are not there.

Planning on heading to Bermuda in Feb. or early May and hopefully will do some flats fishing and surf but only taking light spinning stuff. Any thoughts on what’s best for bones and hogfish (hear their tasty). I’ve fished there before but only for a hour or so, caught some little stuff but hoping to catch a few meals this time lol. I’m retired now so I’ll be going quite often and may even buy a small boat there.

Not from there not have I fished it but don't they fly fish for bonefish there?

I fished them a couple times in west palm. We used shrimp and small jigs. I cant fly fish worth a shit but they’re spooky
Worded poorly: i caught a couple, we weren’t targeting anything specificly. A guy from ma doesn’t care what he catches. Always blown away by the variety of fish down south
