Where did they go? Few posts from owners, NONE for sale! They seem to have dropped off the map!They must be worth a pretty penny now days. Been seriously considering putting mine on the auction block before long. I have a local pharmacist friend wanting to come look at her. Health has been...
I’ve had 3 trips out for albacore before I bought my 19. Once out 17 miles with a meathead local in a 22’ boat, never again, he was a complete idiot. He talked big but had no idea what he was doing & he had to stop another boat to ask how to get home!!! Once with experienced fishermen in a 19’...
Two old guys sitting at the bar, one looked down the bar & turned to his friend & said” look down there, in 10 years that will be us”, his friend looked past him & replied..” that’s a mirror”!!
My 19 came to me with a Suzuki 70. Occasionally I wish for a little bigger in a following sea but wouldn’t want the extra weight the rest of the time. I’m content with 70.
Wholeheartedly agree with exercising motors at home. I try to run both at home at least every other week for 15 to 20 minutes. Everything mechanical starts degrading quickly when not in use.

Do your vehicles have spare tires? Do you have health insurance,home owners insurance, do you get flu shots? In the open ocean...your on your own..Period!! And..it is scarey with no means of propulsion! No brainer! If you call, I’m not coming out to get you! Nuff said?
Tyboo,thank you for everything you do!!Im sure it’s quite a job keeping abreast of everything & trying to keep things up to date! No matter how much you do it doesn’t seem to be enough for some! Being married to a (genetically predispositioned)volunteer, I know what you must go through. Thank...
I have a small weep hole in that location. I cleaned up the hole & enlarged a tiny bet & just forgot about it. Good to have a drain hole there as moisture does sometimes tend to collect under there from a number of potential sources.
That area inside the aft gunnels on my 19 is flotation. Leaking rub rails rivets filled that space over the years. I drilled a small hole just about an inch up from the cockpit deck on each side just forward of the fuel tanks & water flowed out of these spaces for quite awhile. Water can also...
