For Sale: 2003 1801 center console with 2003 Yamaha 4 stroke with 661 hours. I am 2nd owner, purchased in 2007. 2003 Loadrite roller trailer included in sale. Lightly used approx 10 trips per year mostly chasing stripers in Boston Harbor. Easy to trailer, launch, and retrieve. Never bottom...

Where are you located

2801. Oh my!!!

Mary kate on and off gel. It.s gooet and you paint it on the hull with a paintbrush (natural bristle). Let it sit for a while then just spray it off. Wear gloves and don't get it on you or the trailer. Works like magic.

I have an 1801 withh 115 yamaha. It is a bit heavy in the back and planes at about 13 mph. Anyone use a hydrofoil? Any thoughts? Part of me says "if it aint broke, don't fix it".I like the boat just fine as is but was wondering if it could be better.

Hey Jazztime, I have the same boat you're selling. I noticed the hydrofoil. I've been thinking hard about it for my rig. What type is it. Does it keep the nose down for you.

Saw a used 1801 on Reel-time.com. Check it out if you're interested. Looks like a nice rig. http://www.reel-time.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58831

I have a 2003 1801 with a 115 Yamaha 4 stroke. I've decided to winter store it with the fuel tank full. What do you guys use to treat the fuel as far as stabilizers or other additives for long term storage? Hopefully I wont be doing it for another month or so if the weather and Stripers hold for...

I'm sure Holden locals take a dim view of Massachusetts in general. Personally, I can't say I'd blame em. Maybe I should bring my 1801 along as an ice breaker

I'm a Massachusetts Striper and Blue guy who will be staying a week on Holden Beach, NC later this summer. Anybody familiar with the placce. What kind of fishing from the beach? What gear to bring?

I usually have a buddy help me. I think it's too dangerous for my son to help out, he's still a little young (but maybe soon). I have launched alone but I don't like to do it. Actually, the thing I find to be the hardest as a new boater is docking and close quarter maneuvering.

I'm trailering it this year. I want to see where I use it the most and then I'll think of where to keep it. I'm finding there's both upside and downside to trailering I haven't decided whether the ups outweigh the downs yet.

I fished with my 8 year old son on the Mass Maritime side of the west end yesterday. We were in a schoolie blitz that lasted for more than an hour. I'm talking about an acre of breaking fish and birds. Fish all around the boat. My son's first time out and he caught 30 cookie cutter 18 inch...

Yes it is a yamaha 115 4 stroke. People do fish for cod off of Deer Island in the channel called Presidents Road. Big entrance shipping channel for the port of Boston. There are good herring runs in the spring in both the Charles and the Mystic and people say the cod follow the herring in. Some...
