Mahi? What the heck is that? I thought that was a fish from Hawaii. Don't you mean Cabishot, or Dorado, or Drader, or Goudmakreel, or Dolfijnvis, or like here in Florida a Dolphin?The usual Tuna, Mahi and Wahoo.

And that is why we too call it Mahi in the stores here.First time I visited the States (Miami) over 25 years ago I visited a restaurant having Dolphin on the Menu I thought what the heck are the serving sea mammals over here? I tried it anyway after some explaining but it was a bit confusing at first LOL![]()

Probably more common names for that fish, in more languages, than any other as it circumnavigates the world in warm waters, is a great fighter, is beautiful, and is delicious!
So you never call them Cabishots? According to Fishbase.org that's a common name in Papiementu.

I French it is dorade and I think in Spanish dorado but it depends on the location.
The latin name is Coryphen something . . .

Re: Curacao CS 25
Peter, this is an awesome build. Did you stretch the design +3 feet or are you considering the bracket as the extended length? What's your top end with that 300? thanks!

Re: Curacao CS 25
He didn't stretch the design, the extra length is due to the bracket
