tell Krinkle that hat makes him look like a tourist

btw, where did he buy that flounder at?

One of these is not like the others.

You are correct Sir!
I decided after owning two V20's that what I was looking for was a pure fishing machine of the CC variety that was a little bigger (23 vs 20) and deeper deadrise (22.5 vs 18 ) to help navigate the nasty chop I deal with every day out in Raritan Bay. That would have a built in large live well and large insulated fish boxes.
Is she perfect, no, but until I can afford my 25 Contender she will do. She rides well, cuts through my chop in the bay much better than I have had in the past, and with my bad neck it makes a huge difference.
She will fish four guys comfortably with complete walk around the boat capability and is now equipped both with electronics and wash downs (fresh and salt) bait well and the room I needed.
I loved my V's, fished them for years. Still think she has the sexiest lines of any under 21 foot boat ever made. Also the most versatile under 21 foot boat ever made.But it was time for me to move on.
Lucky for me I had a bunch of friends to take with me.

Uh...one's yellow?...:clap:


Great pics, Willy!!...that REELY was a good time...seein' the guys and dolls again from the Charleston trip...AND finally gettin' face to face w/Lumberslinger, his ladies and the fabulous Bump-Kens!!...I felt the presence...or it might have been a crab nibblin' my big toe...no kiddin', she's really something to see!!...now if I can just get this '84 as clean!!...

BTW...I'd like one day to visit The Miracle Pub again...that was the coolest place...great folks and atmosphere...COLD beer and GOOD FOOD...after a night of no sleep, 14 hr drive SC to NJ, fart-dodgin' from Rocky Mount to Toms River, I was BEAT and about to drop over where I stood...wanted to stick around for the kareoke...HAD to go get horizontal...Gotta visit again sometime...

Miracle Pub is the place to be. Cheap beer and good food and no Bennies. Next time you guys get up this way we will have to hit up the F-cove and fish the Manasquan river. I fished off the dock of my marina the past two days and landed 5 fluke,two keepers, but only in a combined time of an hour. we just have to fish a week day so there is less boat traffic.

I hear ya on the weekday fishin!!...we try like hell not to fish Lake Hartwell on the weekends down here, too...every basshole w/an a$$boat and every jet ski in the Upstate...if they just wouldn't go clear across the lake to buzz ya it'd be another story...

Pete, have a cold one for me next time at MP!!...:beer:

OH man guys, looks like a blast! I wish I could have been there with the V20, then maybe showed you guys what a fast v20 is, cause it looked smooooooooooth out there!:sly:

Yeah, all those ponies woulda zipped ya right thru Barnegat Inlet!!...LOL!!

LOL ya, but those are the shoals... very shallow water. Go out into the bay and it changes rather quickly. Additionally, Barnaget inlet is considered one of the most dangerous inlets on the East Coast with constantly shifting sandbars and channels. Not the kind of place you want to go "really, really" fast in. :beer:
