Been couped up in the house much of the last several days nursing a sick pet, so I was going thru some stuff, and found this bunch of literature I had collected after i bought my '74 F233. Decided to eBay some of it off..... Check them out! http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZ4wheeler4QQhtZ-1...

The new owner has emailed me some pics of her over in Sweden!  Great pics too!

My father and I on "Inheritance" left 6:30am, snagged a dozen and a half Pogies in Wickford Harbor, and headed down the bay. Stopped by Narrow River and started drifting chunks by a favorite piece of structure. After hooking several voracious blues, I have what I think is another blue f-ing...

We went sharking yesterday at the Mudhole. Started by chasing a dragger after he hauled his net but all he kept tossing over were tons of dogfish! We gave up after 3.5 miles of following him LOL. The dogfish he was tossing was NOT a good sign! So we went back to the northern end of the Mudhole...

OK, not a hell of a lot to report, but just as important as a slammer report. Fished from Anawan to Narrow River Outlet T&W with one hit only, a nice fish, but broke the tube off. Nothing else after that. Fished by Point Judith light T&W, no hits. Fluked from outside the breakwall at...

OK OK OK....so I decided to "punish myself" with one more day of sharking yesterday LOL. :P Anyway, here goes with the LATE report.....I'll post up what I can remember. Short story is we caught 17 sharks...5 Makos and 12 Blues. 8) On the way out, we got some fresh blues. Also saw a couple...

Well I made the LOOOONG ride from Great Island ramp to the breakwall. Whew, that was long, and burned a ton of fuel.... Oh wait, actually the longest leg was picking up another guy at Conti's, having to go around the sandbar by Jim's Dock LOL. And then having to drop him off after Anyway...

Roy, Myself, Arctek Jim, and Roy's friend Bob headed out on Roy's boat yesterday sharking. Left Mystic just before sunrise, hit sunrise just before Nyman's. What a nice morning! Fueled up, grabbed the rest of what we needed for bait, etc, and harassed Chris a little. Heading out to get some...

Well, 1/2 hour ago, Fintage left here on her way to Sweden. Sad day to say the least. Everyone told me it would leave a very empty feeling and it does! A lot of labor of love in that boat, which makes it even tougher. Not the same as buying a new boat and selling it 4 years later. Not the same...

I will be selling the complete setup from "Fintage", a 1974 Formula 233, once my boat has sold.  The buyer wants the boat minus this entire setup, due to his own personal needs & country climate. This setup was custom built by Arctek Jim (painstakingly!  he put a LOT of work into it!!!!) last...
