We had a few shipyards here, but they went in and out of different chapters and ended up with one, Eastern. In september, they were awarded a 10.5 BILLION dollar contract for 24 new coast guard cutters. Louisiana builds a lot of fishing and oil field boats. I think they start teaching welding in the third grade over there.

i saw that, about eastern getting that contract. bit smaller than the cutters we build but made me think... might put in an application and move over that way. if the pay is right, might be worth considering. looks like they starting up early 2018

So far I haven't been caught in bad seas, I guess I'm a little lucky and very very careful with the weather maybe to much sometimes, but I'm sure if I find get caught my v will get us back safe

Idling into some 3 to 4' waves will put an occasional wave over the bow of my V. It is the interval that is a killer. 30' swells at 60 second intervals is doable in a jon boat.

When I took my V21 out to the Flemish Cap, seas were about 10' long period swell with a 3-5' chop on top.....very fishable, especially since loaded down with 200 extra gallons of fuel.
The biggest problem was getting a 500lb swordfish situated onboard without getting harpooned.
