Those newly repaired rods will come in handy on the new boat. Speaking of it, how's the repair work on it going Thomas

Why yes, yes it can. I just ordered a bunch of upgraded equipment to make it easier. Looks like my whole shed will be a rod shop now.

Hey Paul,

Haven’t really got going on the cosmetic repair stuff as I’ve just been trying to keep up with updating all the mechanical stuff. Pretty much having to put a whole new cooling system on both motors this winter which is costing more then I’ve ever paid for a complete boat in the past haha. But she’s in a covered boat slip so as far as the cosmetics I’m not to concerned for now.

Ouch on the new cooling system. :( Still, she will be a really great boat when all is finished. And while cosmetics are important overall, it's the mechanical that is the most important. Cause that's what gets you out and back. I have a feeling she's going to be a truly remarkable performer when you get her finished. Can't wait to go out on her.

If you want to make a mini vacation this summer come on down. I plan on fishing her ALOT this summer. We got it out for a few striper trips last fall and had a blast. What a difference fishing in her is compared to a smaller boat. Spring trophy season is right around the corner so I need to get to work!!

I just "may" take you up on that offer. Got some medical things scheduled for later this year. Gotta see how they shake out first.

I wonder if thats The Mud Hole custom rod & bait & tackle shop that used to be on Rt37 in Toms River back in the 80's 90's?
