Figure I'd help out the economy! Celeste and I couldn't stand not having one anymore so I guess so we had to go get another hole in the water in which to pour money through! :biglaugh:

"Celestial Crab" monitoring 16

Rode out in Pensacola Bay real quick Saturday before a storm made us rush her back to the trailer! Rode nice and smooth in a rouch bay chop! Pick her up next Saturday. We're going to make the trailer all that she can be before hauling her back to Georgia! 1990 Boat and trailer, hence the redo of a few items on the trailer. Motors are 2002 Suzukie 4 strokes :toast: Running strong!

She needs a lil bath and polish, but other than that sound fishing machine. Vector series Kevlar reinforced hull :thumbup: Oh yea she has a loran and an ole Furono FCV 665!

Nice Boat. :thumbup:

I agree with Tom K. Tom W definitely took care of our Key West. When we came back to town, we almost did not recognize it. We still owe Tom W a fishing trip. Hopefully he will come down with Tom K on the next trip.

Tom W is definately ready to go whenever you guys and Tom K are :thumbup: Does that mean I have to clean the boat again :roll:

I haven't been offshore fishing in so long, I may need a refresher from you guys :lol:

Tom W, you have as successful of a trip out as that one mega-report and I'll detail with you free for a week just to tag along! ;-) :-D

The old Hydra Sports were real solid boats. Except for having the livewell and or fishboxes in the floor they were well designed. Make sure it will take fuel in the tank as fast as the pump will run, We had and have a couple in the marina that took an hour to put 50 gallons in. One we fixed and one we have to charge a service charge to fill the boat. :(

Thanks for the info Carramar. I did write the company and its a aluminum tank so I don't have to worry about the dreaded E tearing it up.

I'm Sure Tow W will do a great job on her and I can't wait to see her cleaned up I hate dirty boats! the Livewell lid in the floor is suspect and I'll have to have T-top give it a new coat of glass or 2. See what I mean about Economic Stimulus helping two forum brother already! and Tom W any time you wnat to go offshore just holler, Yancie you have my number too!

Thanks for the nice comments guys! Celestial Crab waiting to be on 16
