Restoring my cold molded 30 foot Gamefisherman in Costa Ric

We spent 7 days a week, 14 hours a day, getting her back to new. Had to bring it all the way down to the hull and do a couple of patches, put in new hull and motor supports (the wood beams the motor sits on) and then built a small cabin up front with the bathroom and a ton of rod holders! It was a b...

Re: Monster 100 + lb AJ

Wow, nice catch! Maybe someday....well I doubt it, I'm a little claustrophobic. I don't mind jumping out of an airplane, but I've no desire to Scuba dive. How deep were you when you got him? We got him down around 60 feet. There is a reef that is 120 feet deep, but about half way down you hit a wal...

B series Cummins and MK2 Vernatone Muffler Review

Just put on a new Vernatone MK2 round 2 chamber muffler on my B series Cummins and the results were enormous. I have a 5.9 M3 330hp cummins and before I was running a Costa Rica engineered muffler system which just had some bends in the exhaust tube and was bad. Here's the pros and cons I found...
