Next project, a custom filet station at the stern. Used some of the old PVC tubing from the sailing club flag holders for the base of this station. The legs of the filet board unscrew from the top for easy storage.




Nice to clean the fish at sea and not at home! Sits at a perfect height to cut fish.

Have not posted progress in a while. Installed a new Bimini Top





And a bow railing


With a new Windlass for the anchor


Added the rod boxes on the sides



And just put down a top coat on the deck. Still needs another coat.


The boat has been producing the fish.



Filling holes and painting up next after the summer season is over.

Dusty, those are some great pics... thank you!!! The rod holders look great, the anchor windless is first class ... and the cleaning station is a great idea... all in all you're making her into a very valuable and useful boat, and she looks great. Well done sailor...well done.

Been away from this site for a while. Been working this winter on the 84 to get her ready for the Rock Fish opener, which in these parts is March 1. Took her out for a quick half day and found the rock fish with an added bonus of teaming schools of Bonito crashing bait and birds.



Also took the 84 on an overnighter up the line to Gaviota at then end of last year. Very comfy with 2 guys, one in the cuddy and one outside on the fold out.

The reel went screaming off at 4:00 AM with this toad White Sea Bass.


Will post pics of the boat progress once we get the cover off for the next trip.

jeez, you are gonna slay some fish when you get it like u want it. nice job

we used to have huge schools of bonita, but never really fished for them, considered a trash fish, unfit to eat. kinda like bluefish, guys up on the east coast love them, down here they go in the crab traps. we eat a lot of mullet, but south of sarasota, they turn their nose up at them.

cool fish, nice job
