Trying again. :blush:Hello to all. I have been out several times and am totally atunaholic and will do my best to catch at least 1 ta meeting before july. story; last year finally built up courage to make a tuna run in my 20ft intruder. left Depeo Bay at dawn October 1st. I had just started to relax at about 20 out. All of the sudden the boat lurch and water flew, :whazzup: I freaked thinking somthing had broke. I shut down ran to the motor(150 merc)I tilted it up to find a 3ft shark wrapped around my lower unit. :shocked: It floated away d e a d and off we went. got 8 tuna that day

. I am now working on a 24'8" La Guna by Sylvan here are some pics. :smile:

Bigger than I'd thought.

hope to see ya all out there

Welcome aboard!

Look forward to seeing you at one of our get-togethers.

You don't have a pic of your boat, do you? It would be cool to see what she looks like.

And how did you come to be addicted to them tuner fishes? :grin:

Congrats on the boat and welcome to the board. How about a fishing story? It is kind of a tradition around here.

I aquired the boat from Smokercraft. She has never been ran and is still in the process of being assembled.

I get to help in the assembly so I will know how things are put together for future reference if a problem arises. I am also having an extra fuel tank installed. It has a 5.8L, Ford V-8, with a cobra outdrive. I will add a photo when I am able to get one. Thank you for the welcome aboard.

Uh...was it something I said?

I'll leave this up a little while longer, but it's kinda confusing to read replies to a message that's been deleted.
