Beat Up ol Dive Boat
 

My 74 Tsunami isn't much to look at with its original gelcoat exterior and beat up rub rail but the "Melissa J." keeps the church fish fries bountied in grouper and snapper on any given Sunday afternoon. My wife and I have discussed buying a bigger rig but I just can't consider retiring the sweet ride I've been rolling off of for nearly 20 years.....

My buddy snapped this photo of her at the ramp and I have to say she is still the biggest little 23 on the water still.

I beg to differ moose, she looks pretty easy on the eye to me:cool:

Gotta agree with Gillie it looks pretty nice

She still looks fine to me. We're not too far apart. What port do you head out of for your grouper gathering? Maybe we can get together one day before the season closes.

Also, think about joining us for the fall gathering November 1.

Looks great to me. I say keep it for another 20.

Love your boat! Top, ,motor, spearguns in the rack...Looks like a perfect combo.

By the way, I always appreciate your input on Spearboard. I go by "Castor" there.

Nice rig.

What is mounted on the guns forward of the bands? Lights?

Thanks guys, I do really love her and I am always inspired by the beautifully kept classics on here. One day when she"s ready for a repower I will take all the money she has saved me and give her a full refit and makeover.

Kmoose aint lying, that man shoots some fish...I know him from another board. Didn't know he was a seacraft guy till now...that explains a lot!
