Anyone manage to get out and do any fishing yet this year?
I havent really been able to fish lately due to an elbow injury. Also, Ive been working on a project boat for myself for the last 5 months or so.... its a 1991 Anacapri 17 ft deep v center console. I know the original owner and this boat has been unused in dry storage for all but three years of its 22 year life. It needed some updating, and mice had gotten in it and chewed a bunch of wires. I see a lot of boats (im a boat mechanic) and its very rare to find any older boat that is has such perfect fiberglass, no rot, and virtually no corrosion in our salty south fl environment, so i figured this was well worth restoring. Best part is that it was free.
At this point the boat is almost done... Just getting done rigging a 130hp yamaha with 127 hours on the boat. I completely gutted the boat to bare fiberglass, even got a brand new fuel tank made. ALL new wiring, LED lighting, garmin GPS/depth, cushions, rub rail, rod holders, sound system, etc... its going to be the nicest boat ive ever owned and ive had quite a few! Heres of a few pics of it in progress, and some completed pics will be coming soon. Hopefully with some fish in them!
