Re: Engine driven RSW systems

Wait, what if you took a tote of ice with you and then when you got near the tender, you just put a bunch of ice in your RSW chilled hold, then it looks like you slushed the fish. I have heard the SPC won't buy RSW, maybe this might mask the situation and they would just assume they were slushed sin...

Re: Plywood Stabilizers

Those are spanos, same as I have. They were made by mr spano in westport. He was a troller and perfected the design over many years of use. since he has passed away there's a new guy that took over all of his production, I guess he made some other stuff too besides just the stabilizers. I will get a...

Re: Hand trolling for chums

Could you please repost or move this to the getting started area? This has to be one of the best ” what exactly you do” posts I ever seen on here.

Re: Let's Build Some Boats!

There is a short thread on here about a new troller I posted over a year ago. At that time Sunnfjord had just built a new 47 that I took a brief look at. I was told that was a "dry boat" for about 400K, and he guessed a finished out turn key one would be 500K. A "dry boat" is a f...

Re: salmon packaged (from?) China at Albertsons???

I think that's the right idea! Not sure how the cost would get covered looking at how many are on the forum and how many have donated........ but I have some great domains if you or your brother want to put something together.

Tacorajim passed away

Tacorajim ( Jim Shannon) passed away. Last week when I was down working on my boat I met his eldest son, also named Jim, and got the news. His son Jim is willing to sell the boat, said 10K obo. That would be a great deal as Jim had done a TON of work restoring the boat. I know a lot of list members ...

One day on a swing through the South end I stopped by the Sunnfjord yard. Low and behold there was a NEW TROLLER poking out of the shed.
