Pilar's "Pilar" ??

[MarlinMark]

Pilar,

What type of boat do you have? Do you have any pics? What does the name mean? And if I may be so bold as to ask...how do you find so much time for this board? Curiosity didn't kill the cat. Hesitation (on the road) killed the cat. Curiosity killed the mouse. :grin:

Thanks,

Mark

Bah ha ha ha ha ha ha !



I'll get back to you. :grin:



The name ...

Mark,
It's an old Bayliner 'Jamaica'. 1977, White on Blue, 1/2 canvas (white) and a Inboard/Outboard motor. Nineteen foot and a cathedral hull. This is the pointy version of the trihull with a closed, covered bow. She's about 6'6" on the beam inside.

The boat was towed to Oregon from the Florida Keys, rebuilt and modified. Modifications include larger gas tank, built in fish box under deck, closed loop cooling system, added a kicker bracket, Repowered and rebuilt outdrive, rewired, new electronics and redundant systems added.

Oh and it says 'Death from above' on the keel.

There's a story around here somewhere about the restoration. I'll post a link when I find it.

I'm going by Walgreens and digitize a few photos. I'll post them when I get it done.

Pilar-
Is the little sword fish a direct copy form the movie "Das Boat" or a coincidence? If I remember it only shows up in the movie a few breif times. I always thought it was cool. The movie still lists in my top 5 movies of all time.

Anyway. Wish I could join you all one of these Saturday trips sometime. Doesn't anyone fish on sundays anymore? :depressed:

So I guess it is pronounced "pee-larr"? Thanks for the tales. We all like tales...tails....and split tails...

Headed to the Wilson in the Willie tomorrow with a couple of the lads. Springers, large winter nates, and summers. Will let ya'll know how it went.

Bluewater, yep that's the one. I traced it off the screen. The movie is one of my favorites as well.

We fish Sundays too but it makes for a long day when you work Monday. I'm thinking Salmon at CR, when it opens is only Sun to Thur.

You sure this isn't your boat? No wonder you are willing to go out 30 miles.

[Pilar]

Nope, that looks more like the original, in size anyway.
