Arrgh...snow and rain. No Virginia Beach fishing trip this week.
Anyway, got a photo of another West Coast Parker with a tuna tower.
Don't see many of these tower-equipped small boats in these here parts.

Guy who runs her has an Airmar B-260 transducer, an 80-gallon bait tank,
and goes out 75 miles for albacore fishing.
I'd be curious where he has that transducer mounted on that boat.
It is a little huge for a thru-hull on that size of boat, but I
suspect that would be one of the preferred models.
Finding good water at plane, though? Location location, location.....
The owner built up some sort of nacelle on the inside of the hull and
the B260 protrudes, but I've not seen a photo of the install. I suspect
with all the money he's spent on the boat, he doesn't count $100 bills
closely.

The back 1/3rd of the Parker 25-footers don't come out of the water
much, even on plane. Or at all. Even.- Hide quoted text -

Too slow, huh?


Time for you to take another SOMA and slip back into your coma.

Well, if you've been somewhere, D'whine, it must be bullsh*t, or at least
covered in it, eh?

It's about 220 miles from my house to the OBX, D'wine. About a six hour
drive pulling my tandem trailer, including food and rest stops. Or three
days on your creaky old floating RV, if the weather sucks.

We have had 3 wonderful vacations on the Outer Banks, most recently in a 3
level, 5 bedroom house on the ocean with my sisters family. *The house had a
pool, hot tub and game room.

Mornings were spent with a cup of coffee watching the dolphins swimming
parallel to the beach.

Nice place, but a bit expensive.- Hide quoted text -

Hmm, you whine about Wayne being able to take off in his boat and
vacation at will, saying that he must need to get out of that
"hellhole". Why would you want to vacation away from that wonderful
resort town of Cleveland, Ohio. How's the boating there today?

Yeah, we rent a house with another couple. No need for that many bedrooms,
though. There's lots of stuff to do there, some boat-related, some not.
It's a pretty easy drive from here. South Florida is too damned hot for
summertime fun.

With our latest vacation on OBX we had 12 people in the house (14 for one
night with friends visiting)........only 4 of which were adults.
Thankfully each bedroom had it's own full bath, with a powder room off the
main floor (2nd) family room/dining room/kitchen.

When on vacation I like to indulge.- Hide quoted text -

How about the YoHo logo? What practical use does that have for fishing?

Oh, holy ****, Harry. You at first say that metalflake, carpet, etc.
is "superfluous". Then you say that such things "differentiate" and
therefore aren't superfluous just because you do the same with your
logo. "Your so vain......."
