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 helmetDad bought a new 21' Starcraft open fisherman in 1973 - put a new 115 H/P 2 stroke Yamaha on in 1999 and passed it on to me in 2000.
Handheld GPS said top speed was 48 MPH but it felt more like 80!
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.Crazy how fast it seems on the water.

I've never actually seen one in person - probably couldn't afford the cover charge.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
They were pretty crazy. Norstar v8 with a big supercharger.I've never actually seen one in person - probably couldn't afford the cover charge.

View attachment 5256395All 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.
We don't get ice so we cast from shore.I have some cool ice jigs from the 60s tho (flea market)
Not from there not have I fished it but don't they fly fish for bonefish 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.
