sea craft's in the shop...

[pelican]

didn't launch the sea craft this season - been fishin' the bertram.
sea craft's in need of a little love - the beast's been run and run hard.the deck's developed a few soft spots - gonna pull the deck out,recore it,and reinstall/refinish.gonna make a really cool upgrade - gonna build a pilot house around the console - incorporating the console...
the boat's currently in the shop - since early june - collecting dust - been extremeley busy this season - mostly big jobs - i'm not complaining,by any stretch of the imagination - i like having lots of work - i enjoy being busy...
when i start this project,i will post the pictures...

stay tuned...

side note:
i really miss the sea craft - the center console with a flush forward deck is definatley the way to go - 2 man crew,is all that's needed.if a big fish is hooked up,one crew fights the fish outta the bow,other crew member runs the boat,and keeps the bow toward the fish - nothing in the way...
fishin' the bertram's a little tougher,it's a flybridge boat - need a 3 man crew to really fish the boat - the autopilot is a great feature - especially trolling - but,having the helm at a different level than the 'pit is definatley a disadvantage - but - with the season we're having so far,it's definatley not hurting us
