I guess another amazing point to add is that the motor ran continuously for six hours. 20 miles out. 20 back and a heck of a lot of trolling, and we only burned 28 gallons of gas.
Awesome day. Rest up buddy.
Thank you very much.

Yeah!! I just found this thread. way to go on the TUNA!!!

4 big guys, a full tank of fuel, gear, pushing that heavy tub with a top . . . 28 gallons is pretty darn good for that trip. Fill me in on the details tomorrow.

MJ - U still want a new motor?

nice job boys. Looks like it was a great adventure. Nice shot w/ the harpoon Chum. Hey mj, judging by other pics I've seen in the past, it looks as if you dropped a couple of lbs. as of late.

Thanks guys!!

It was a blast!! It was well worth it just to see all the wild life! At one point I had to put it in nutrual in mid troll. A mother whale and her calf was coming right for us, I say they dot with in 30 feet or so then sounded down.

BS the motor ran great with a few small issues, but we got back home so that's a good day!
Yes we used 28 gal of gas, with all are tuna gear and 4 guys (1000) and a 110 gal of fuel.
We were going 25 mph with ot any problems! That new prop made all the difference!

phester Chum stuck that tuna so hard, I had to cut the thing out when I got home to get it
As far as weight, I was 325 last spring, went down to 310 in july, then when I was sick in the hos. I went to 275. I am back to 290 right now, But now that I can exercise a little I am going to try to keep it off!

I got all the fish cut up into roasts, Thats all I had left in me today!! In the morning I am going to steak everything up and Vac Seal them all up. Be eatting Tuna all winter!

Now this is the kind of post I like to see--not that political stuff. Looks like a great day on the water. Glad to hear your motor ran pretty well for you MJ. In one of the pics it looks like it has the ox up on a plane and scooting along pretty well.

MJ, sorry to hear about all your pain. You look good in the pics though. Looks like you have lost a bit of weight. Hope you are back to 100% real soon.
