I am located near new london ct. Its about a 7 mile hike to "the race" which is arguably the best local fishing grounds (although block island is great too but a little further). The depth goes from over 200 ft to 50 very quickly and the associated currents bring in some serious fish. Its also the point where most of the water flows into long island sound. Im confident that the V is up to the task because neighbors of mine fish out there in their older 19 ft grady, but its definitely not a place to fool around if you don't know what your doing. Its also not a spot I want to be stranded at if something goes wrong. I have a dock with my house and know this is something I enjoy and will probably be doing for life, so I am looking to invest into something that will last me a long time. I will try to post some better pics tonight. If I end up re-doing the V I will definitely document and post up the process for everyones benefit. Thanks for the responses so far.
