Luke, I live in Fremont and have a 2530. What would you like to know? Kevin G. :mrgreen:

Wow . . . Fun to see the old thread come back. Thanks! Here is a shot of Empty Pockets taken at the fuel dock in Monterey Ca on May 15 2011. We had just hosted two Disabled Veterans on Empty Pockets for the National Disabled Vetrans Championship Salmon Derby held in Monterey Bay...

I tow my 2530XLD with my 2006 Dodge 2500 Cummins Turbo Diesel . Up and over the Grape Vine on I5 in CA, cruise control on, AC on @ 55MPH (speed limit for a vehicle with a trailer in tow). I am required to have a Wide Load permit to tow my boat in California as the 2530XLD has a is 9'6" wide...

Oh MAN! That 2830 is SWEET! :mrgreen: I love my 2530 . . . but . . . WOW :shock: Great price as well! Kevin G.

grantrobarts, I believe I have emailed and spoken with your dad several times over the last two or three weeks. I have a 2530 with twin 150's. I sent him an email regarding a 2530 in So. Cal last night. It is rigged with twin 150's. You need a tow permit and a banner for the boat as it is...

Done. Thanks for the heads-up!

Hello Dave, The guide base comes standard with a 3 x 3 square tube for the uprights. The guide base mounts to the trailer frame via U-Bolts and Shackels. The length/depth of the guide base will depend on how wide your trailer is compaired to your hull. All of the uprights are designed to...

Hello Dave, I'm not NormH, but I do recognise his trailer . . . I have one just like it. It is a Pacific Trailer. They are made in San Diego and they have a great facility in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have the guide bunks as well . . . VERY nice to have them. I had to replace one side...

Hello Norm, Wow . . . it has been a while since I have been on the site. Nice looking boat and very nicely equiped as well. Is that the Wild Wave moored behind you in the photo of you at the Santa Cruz ramp dock? I thought it was a gonner. I am waiting for May 1 to come . . . Rock Fish...

Outstanding Bryan!! :mrgreen: I would enjoy future posts on the progress. What a GREAT project for your class. Outstanding civic action at it's finest. Kevin G.

I have a Sea Star steering ram on Empty Pockets, I have twin engines as well. The first two times I took it out, the steering was vague AT BEST. It was VERY difficult to keep a heading. VERY slow response from the engines to turn. Spin the helm and the engines casually turned. NO JOY! I...

If you are heading offshore, I would recomend getting a ditch raft and a GPS EPIRB. My EPIRB is located inside the Pilot House by the door. I don't have a photo of it. Kevin G.

Well nutz, It seems that the photo's I posted a bit ago have gone away. Here is a shot of Empty Pockets after I put her back in the storage facility transfer yard after a nice day of Rock Cod fishing. All nice and clean! A nice Vermilion Rock Fish. My buddy Robert with a nice 12 - 13...

Good points fuellevellow, My Furuno Auto Pilot is installed with a steering sensor, also mounted on the steering arm. The unit also came with its own Gyrocompass and Nav Computer. What can you do with a Blue Tooth connection to your AP? Download/Upload stuff? Cool! :shock: Kevin G.
