If you're looking at new hulls, the 16 degree hull works good both inshore or occasional offshore. The XLD is better offshore but uses a bit more fuel. In my opinion, I don't think the slightly better ride of the Deep V is worth the extra costs unless you are doing mostly mid/offshore trips...

Thanks Harpoon. The raft sold pretty quickly. It's my understanding that depending on the type of raft and manufacturer, there are different inspection and certification periods. For mine, for the raft to stay under warranty, it needed to be inspected every year. In addition to the...

Yeah. Still blackfishing. Waiting for some cod to move in close.

Stopped down at the marina a few days ago. Weather was about 60 degrees. Back down to 25 today. Hopefully Phil the groundhog was right.

Sorry to hear of the misfortune some of you had. We got hit pretty hard in North Jersey. In Point Pleasant, at our marina, most of the boats left in the water did well, including mine. Not a scratch. Unfortunately for the boats winterized and on blocks or pulled out for the storm didn't do...

I've left mine in and fished for the past two years. No issue with electronics. As far as keeping it at the dock, in addition to the bubblers and keeping the engine down with the lower unit in the water, I suggest you winterize any holding tanks, sinks, toilets, washdowns, etc. I also leave...

I go offshore several times a year. I pick my days. As long as you're not in a hurry to get back home, the ride is fine.

I agree. You'll cringe every time one of your fishing buddies bounces a sinker off the hull. Stick with a light color and it lessens the pain. Although the scratch is still there, its less visible. As for not having to wax, its my opinion that protecting the paint with help it to last and...

Rewdawg12, Had this issue two years ago. Turned out my cables were old and stretched. Needed to force it when shifting gears. Similar to you, I would go to the rear to get it into gear. Put it off the repair for too long and wound up breaking my nuetral safety switch. Of course, this didn't...

That looks great! And the dask looks great as well.

I'm out of Point Pleasant, NJ and do most of my fishing out of Manasquan Inlet and sometimes out of Barnegat. I absolutely love my boat. The deep V hull can handle a range of conditions. She can definitely take a beating, but in this area, with the predominant southwest winds in the...

Absolutely! Anyone with a 2530 gets my vote!

Only two of us left in the water as of yesterday. Dreary day. A far cry from summer. Going to try to go out for blackfish and cod on Sunday if the weather cooperates. Check out Parker Row. This is at Schrader Yacht Sales and Canal Point Marina. Three more months and many will be back in...

What a beautiful boat!

Very nice!

I love that style. From the picture, it looks like the engine sits forward of the transom. I'd llike to see what the present well and engine setup looks like.

Cool. I'll take a look at the local fishing/outdoor shows this winter to see if any are available in my area. 8)

Those pictures tell the story of a great day. Real nice. Some of those rods have me curious. The guides start out as on a normal conventional rod but then spin to 180 degrees on the blank. Is that a normal custom rod in your area? How do they perform?

Up late tonight and found this picture of our daughter taken this past summer. We were anchored up and swimming at Treasure Island in the Manasquan River. Water was less than two feet deep. And no, that's not a little fairy next to the steering wheel. Its a woman standing in the water in the...
