Mac,

You should add your location to the space beneath your user name.

I can see from your profile that you are from Michigan.

That is good for your search for a niceboat.

You should be able to find a v20/21 that has only been used in sweetwater. If I lived in Michigan, there is no way I would travel to Rust City for a boat.

Re: Storage
 

I agree! a 20 year old boat used in fresh water is a better deal than a 5 year old salt water boat....drove to Kansas from Virginia to get a fresh water boat and it was worth it

Re: Storage
 

Thanks for the advice Seakindly. I changed it. In the past 6-7months I have found only 2Michigan or Ohio V20s listed on the web. Called on both but they were already sold. Seems like most of the V20-21s are on the east coast, Floriida or Texas. I did find one on the East Coast where the guy said it was only used in the bay. I question the salinity of bay water. I'm set on a V20-21 I'll find one.

Re: Storage
 

Mac, before computers there were these bulky things made out of trees with words on them. Some of those words were ads for boats 4 sale. ;)

Seriously, why not go down to the library and look at some classifed ads from October from your local newspaper and your local fishing weekly. You just might run into a v20/21 that was advertised, but didn't sell, so the seller said screw it - I'll wait till spring to advertise it again when more people will be looking to buy. You just might get the jump on a nice v20/21. 8)

Re: Storage
 

When I converted my V20 from IO to outboard I tryed to sell all the IO stuff in the fall and got nothing!! then did again in the spring and sold all in a week!! I had a guy that must have had a old copy of the want ad and called me in Aug. to see if i had the stuff. This 4 months after it was all gone.
So try to call them old ads like seakindly said, there might be one waitting there for you??

Re: Storage
 

I have checked our local papers for boat ads. I did not check the Detroit News or Free Press though. Those two papers and the Union had a long bitter strike. I had cancelled my subscription supporting the workers. Enough of that, should not talk politics when I could be talking boating or fishing. You two are right! I'll go to the library, find back issues and maybe find my nice boat. Thanks! How do you cook fluke? Bill Mc

Re: Storage
 

I cook it all kinds of ways!! I love to fry it like fish and chips!! But I like to make a seafood stuffing and wrap it in the fluke and bake it with butter and lemon. Also good in the micro wave !! Belive it take some chips and crumble them on top and mic it comes out fast and good!!
Also like rolled up with a piece of Bacon some times to!

Wow guess whats for supper tomorrow!! Just told the wife to take it out!! I have one of them Vacum pac machines and itworks great!!

Re: Storage
 

MJ - Have you ever eaten fluke raw (hirame)? . . . I love it. It's not surprising that the best bait for fluke is fluke.

Re: Storage
 

Never!! I draw the line at raw fish :P I have a Asian friend that has wanted me to do Fluke and Tuna, and I just can't do it. Maybe if I was dieing on a deserted Island I might but other wise no deal !
I have tryed raw little necks, and can get all I want for free as my friend has a grant were he growes them, but again I did not like it. But with a little bacon under the broiler ;D !! Thats the way.

Re: Storage
