boat should haul asz...you'll be the first one to the islands lol

are you doing your own rigging? or are you having a shop do it? just curious because I might need some new wiring in my future. I'm in Louisiana, but have a place on MS coast.

I did not do my own rigging. If your're looking for someone, contact Jason at Crown Leisure Marine, he does an outstanding job.

I very easily could be the first boat to the island... Sunday coming from the Back Bay to the small craft harbor, I ran into a little chop once I came under the Ocean Springs bridge. we had a nice 2' to 3' chop with the occasional 4' rolling in. It was me and a 32' yellowfin with triple outboards. He was catching me quickly in the chop as that was nothing for him. But once we cleared the Marina on the point and we had a small chop, I was able to leave him in my wake. I noticed with a small chop under a 1/2' she will absolutely fly. I will pull the stats soon, but my gps speed hit 61mph.


oh yea... we found some decent trout on Sunday, and I caught a bunch of undersized reds at Cat Island on Saturday. All in all, not a bad weekend of fishing.
