I just picked up a Topaz Diesel
 

I just got this Topaz Diesel 24'
It has a volvo TMD40
This will get me offshore into the Tuna when I am ready for it.
I will take some better pictures soon.
If anyone finds a deal on a Yanmar or Cummins marine diesel let me know.
Motor runs good but I could use more power.
I also need a 24 foot bunk trailer.

What ever happend to the 23 Duallie you picked up on ebay ???

Re: I just picked up a Topaz Diesel
 

I hate you!

Nice score on a beautiful boat. 8) ;D

Re: I just picked up a Topaz Diesel
 

Very long story but the deal did not work out. I was more then willing to buy the boat as is. The guy on ebay was selling someone else's boat. And the boats owner refused to sell the boat after I waited a month for the marine to finish rebuilding the carbs.

I really believe someone offered them way more money and they made up a wild untrue story.

The only thing with ebay is if I leave them a negative feedback then they will leave me one. It has happened to me 3 times that way. *

Thanks for all the complements.

Honestly it will take some time to get use to fishing this boat but I will keep the dully for a while. I sold my cuddy last month.

When I get use to her I will need to setup a fishing crew maybe 3 Hampton Roads guys then can commit to fishing trips and that can pitch in for fuel and supplies if anyone is interested. That is in the future just throwing it out there to est. interest.

Thanks

Nice boat,
So when are we going off shore ;D The Canyons are looking good for Yellow Fin 8)

Re: I just picked up a Topaz Diesel
 

Copy that.

Nice little boat fished one out of Indian river Dl for a season. Cummins has a deal going on 155hp bt4 engine. Volvos parts are real pricy. If your going offshore for tuna read my article in july /aug 06 issue Big game fishing magazine ""Offshore in small Boats" keyed to Va but same rules apply

Re: I just picked up a Topaz Diesel
 

Indian River, DE. :o You on the easten shore with me and Airslot, and Hammer???

CY, Throwback is right down the street from me. From my new office, I can see his place. He fishes out of the same boatramp that I do...

Re: I just picked up a Topaz Diesel
 

Throwback, can you post the article here? Sounds interesting.
