Re: newbies project
Well it looks like my dreams of being a commercial fisherman is dead , my finacial partner that i had to build back this troller has bailed out on me and left me with no way of compleating it , i am unable to aquire any loans so it looks like i will have to sell it , the engine and trans are out of it , the engine is tore down ,cleaned , repainted and with a few new parts is ready to go back together , it has an overhaule kit with it including one for the trans , i hope i can find someone to buy it so it dont end up going to scrap
Re: newbies project
Your dreams of being a commercial fisherman are only dead if you want them to be. You are obviously a fisherman at heart. Based on Christ's selection of his disciples, one would tend to think He placed the desire to fish in their hearts . In fact, He didn't dismiss the desire to fish, but acknowledged it by saying, "Come, and I will make you fishers of men." Soon after Christ's death, Peter went back to fishing and according to Peter's desires, Jesus again filled his nets with fish after he had fished all night without catching anything. After Christ reminded him of who was in control of his catch, He reminded Peter of the work He had asked him to do.
I like that because it shows God cares about your dreams and probably placed some of those in your heart. You have already tasted some of what it's like to be a commercial fisherman with this experience. It is very possible that something better awaits pending the sale of this particular vessel. I saw the boat and it looked like a fun project and sounded like you were enjoying it. Now you have some experience, know a lot more about the industry, have some contacts and can perhaps move forward in a way that you had not anticipated. Perhaps this boat would be better suited to someone else. You're in a much better place to make good fishing decisions now than you were two years ago. It's hard not to get discouraged, take every lesson you learned, use them to your advantage and move on. And when or if you become that successful commercial fisherman, don't forget who's in control of your catch.
Hoping good things for you,
Lane

Re: newbies project
Thank you lane , i would'nt be giving up on this boat if i could find a new partner but i have no idea how to find a new one the boat has some uniqe things about it like a bronze cap on the bow stem , a metal diaganel strips from the keel to the gunnels on each side in the frames and the planks are copper riveted , plus its made of very rare white cedar on bent oak , it break's my heart to see cool old boat's die a slow death but mabey some one who wants to get into trolling on the cheap will come along and would be willing to have a partnership before i get it sold , i am dragging my feet on this so who knows.

Re: newbies project
Silver T, Really enjoyed your comment and just had to say so, very insightful and interesting. Iv'e always enjoyed the fact that the Lord chose fishermen to do his work. Another story that you'll appreciate is when Jesus and Peter was going into temple they had to pay a tax, peter expressed an opinion that was incorrect for which he was mildly rebuked but then Jesus told him to go "fishing" and the coin would be in the fishes mouth. I'd take correction like that any time!
