Todd and I were lucky
. The lower gear assembly on my main is pooched. Probably hit something. It didn't blow up or anything but the whole thing is full of metal shavings and the oil is black as black can be (changed it in May). Don't know the whole story yet. Find out tomorrow if it's re-buildable or not. Anyways I'm working on a couple of different angles to this situation. Hope to be back on the water for the long weekend. If I go with one option I'll be dressed in black.

The true dark side. V-rod or Opti doesn't matter. Your gonna have to paint your kicker though for the true dark side if you make the leap. LOL

I'm leaning towards the Opti and a new kicker. Might as well start fresh all around lol. We shall see. If mines re-buildable and still around what I was quoted I will have it rebuilt. Friggen boats eh!

Sorry to hear about your motor John. If by chance your boat isn't going by time the shootout starts...........I'll just have to drag mine up and take you and your crew out. One way or another it'll happen brutha. See you on the 14th in Ilwaco for a warm-up trip.

I flipped the coin... heading over tomo to Bamfield.
Aiming for the canyons on sun or mon ( hoping the Wash state forecast is more correct than Enviro Ca)... or stopping at the big bank if the water is up

I spoke with some people on the ferry yesterday. They were in a 220 ocean pro hewescraft and were fishing out of winter harbour this week. They went 30 miles offshore with 2 other boat and all 3 boats hooked into tuna. I'm not a tuna fisherman but thought you guys might want to know.
