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...

I'm the Materials Manager at a Medical Device manufacturing company.

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.

I have Furuno systems on Empty Pockets. I added a Furuno 511OB Auto Pilot. I am very pleased with the accuracy and ease of use. It is slaved to two Furuno MFD's. Capt. 'Otto' Pilot is mounted below the 4 round engine gauges. Kevin G.

Hello CP folks! My buddy Robert and I splashed Empty Pockets Sunday morning at Moss Landing. We were off for a Rock Fish trip to Point Sur and checking and testing the newly installed systems and electronics on EP. Point Sur is about 43 miles south of Moss landing. Strait up and flat out ...

Gotta Luv them 2530's! I am running twin Yammerhammer 150's, 4-strokes. According to NOAA forecasts . . . I might be able to get out on the water this weekend (nasty 20 - 35 MPH offshore winds for over a week now) with the wind down to 5 - 10. Now if the warm/blue water would push in . . . it...

I have a 48 gallon Pacific Edge bait installed mid-deck on my 2530. It works GREAT! I can fill it to the full 48 gallons or to 24 gallons (depending on how you have the drain pipe installed) I have had no problems with it at all. http://www.pacificedgetackle.com/category.aspx?categoryID=40...

Thanks for the tip Capt. Kevin, I use Salt Away to rinse the boat and flush the engines. I will put some through the head then. Thanks! Kevin G.
