Tuna Boat experts.
Hi I am new to the big blue and have just recently purchesed a new boat to me that I think will be great going after Tuna. I would like to get your opinions on it for an ocean going vessal.
22' long aluminum boat with twin screws with a 60 gallon gas tank, Awing, enclosed cab and 2 large freezers.
Pictures below.

Re: Tuna Boat experts.
Tell us where it'll be moored, with those freezers we'll all want to tie up alongside for carking and freezing our tuna!

Re: Tuna Boat experts.
Do you guys think I should weld on some more cross bracing on the awning? I thinking it might rack a little during some heavy seas?
Thanks for the kind words sea dogs about my new ride.
I will be offering open seats for tuna grounds very soon.

Re: Tuna Boat experts.
Now here is a fine ride, should handle big blue in heavy seas without a problem. Add a few nails to the poles and you can have a place to hang those longlines too.

Re: Tuna Boat experts.
That is one nice machine. Dual engines, fighting chair and a blast freezer. Hope Rod doesn't see it.

Re: Tuna Boat experts.
hey, put that baby on the boat, put a garbage can lid under it as a firepan (as if one is needed when the boat is on the ocean!), and cover it with black plastic and you have an onboard smoker! Fresh smoked tuna loins! Snacks for eating while catching more tuna!

Flapbreaker,
I didn't see that the grill also makes toast. Nice machine.

Re: Tuna Boat experts.

Hmm- I just realized you said aluminum. You might want to stick to running the Rogue in that thing.

As a major grocery chain employee, I feel obligated to warn any viewers that using our new shopping baskets for this purpose will have disasterous results! (They are now made almost completely of PLASTIC!)
