We don't technically own ours yet, so we probably won't have it out on the water until next spring.
Just getting started and lots of questions. Calling around on insurance rates. She's got 360's so how much HP is that?

Weather is gonna be cool here all weekend with highs in the lower 70s. Sounds like a nice weekend for some fishing. My wife is off work in a few hours & were headed to the boat for the weekend. Hope everyone has a great long weekend & be safe out there!

We took an extra day so we have four full days on the boat. We're planning a couple of short day trips and some fishing along the way. Temps today are mid 90's but will be highs in the mid 60's on Monday so big swing in the temps. We're aboard SeaDog now & getting ready to head out.

Be safe everyone.

We have joined family to snorkle for scallops this weekend in Cape San Blas, Florida. Weather has been a little wet and windy to say the least, but we managed to go out in Stjoseph bay the last three days.
