Nope, that's for dogs and cats.

My V21 enjoys restful winter along side my home, covered but with air circulation, clean, empty of contents, and dry.
Sure, I stop go over to see it frequently.........." hello V21 and Etec 200 HO outboard."
And I'll do some assorted work on it here and there.

It's a collectors item, and as some of you may know, likely worth $ 100,000 or more because Wellcraft produced only from 93-96. Few truely in excellent condition remain today.

Fired mine up in the yard yesterday, been too busy to go out, might try for tomorrow though, gonna be in the 70's.

That etec sure is quiet compared to the tohatsu.

Well I've never condemned a dog or cat to a landfill. And down here winter time is when you throw a sweatshirt and sweat pants in the boat because it's chilly in the mornin.

Maybe I'm getting soft because last years final trip I had spray freezing on the V windshield and sliding down as slush..... deck was slippery as I trolled for stripers.

This past trip ( last ) Saturday it started around 26 degrees but warmed to around 40.
Stripers prefer water temps in the 50's so now for me, I'm done striper fishing.

Well, you can always fish for Whiting, Ling and White Perch. Some good eating there. I know of a hole in the Jake's Branch of the Tom's River where the Perch love to hang at about 15-20 feet. If you sneak up on them quietly you can usually fill a bag before noon. Best way is to cut your engine a way's out, then use an electric or a paddle to move to them.

Up here its been over! But not only that they have screwed with all the limts with more to come! No Cod for 6 months, then wait and see the limts? Haddock is like 3 fish, and pollock is also getting cut. Also there will be no fishing for the later while the Cod is closed so to stop hooking other ground fish by mistake. Striped Bass is going to 1 fish this year. Still waitting on the new Fluke limts?
I miss boating and fishing so much, but glad if I had to stop, it was at the right time to get out!!
Oh and did I say it was 38* for today's high!!
