The thing is basically a one-piece boat--nothing to break, self bailing, carolina flair. I strongly recommend them.

HA! Told YOU! They are good boats! I love the Triton 212... I've run it with a 150 and its not bad. I hear a little more would be (a lot) better (isn't that always the case! LOL). Yours actually sounds like it should pop out of the hole well. What prop are you running?

SS 13 1/4 w/ like a 19 or 21 pitch, I'm really not sure. Of course it came with an aluminum which I promptly took off and use as a spare. I don't want to change a thing about the boat. The 207 is rated for up to 200hp but you really lose the economy thing at 200 even with a four stroke.

When did you get the Dusky?!?!?! Is that the same boat you have had? Awesome boat. The guy that has the marina I fish out of just got out of his Dusky into a Shamrock. Do you have a diesel or have it bracketed with outboards? You got a lot shorter runs down than we do on the East Coast, so I would assume outboards.
How did you know all this? What was your former handle? Not too many people here ever discussed boats with me.

Anyway, I friend of mine, actually a friend who is also a business partner of mine n\bought it last year. It is a blast, I'll see if I can find a photo. We keep it in a marina in Key Largo.

I used to have a 25" Sea Pro which I kept next to my house and owned alone. Trailering it in this traffic is a *****.

I sold it for lack of use then knucklehead and another guy convinced me to buy into this one a month later.

Been splittin' ALL costs and having a blast ever since.

I initially was against partnering on a boat after having had a bad experience before, but these guys are the best.

I call the shots when it came to purchasing, repairs and maintenance and we split the costs 3 way.

200.00 each monthly for the boat and the marina.


One of those 2 has never gone out on the boat without me as he only likes to be driven around, the other and I are really good friends and almost(9/10) times always go out together.

It's in pretty good shape but has 170k. It's gone through two water pumps in the year I've had it. and makes quite a funny sound if I hammer it hard or stall it up. I think it's time it went away. Maybe to the tune of a nice 400E I found yesterday.

Back to steak sauce.

I was a trade show in Edison, New Jersey this week, and the booth next to me was Smith and Wollensky.

Lemme tell you what. They have the best steak sauce I have ever tested. Period.

My guess is that they don't have much distribution in supermarkets across the U.S., so you might have to order online.
