Hey, if you ever need to bounce something off of someone a little closer, I'm over here in Spokanistan.

Looking forward to a CX25 going together out this way. Hell, you get her done, I'll bring the jig setups and the bait setups and we can go put some albacore blood on her!

I'm in Ilwacky occasionally, though most of the boats I fish on are home ported out of Westport.

Are you planning on doing the Area 1 halibut show this spring? Have you had the Arima out for albies recently?

There's a chance the halibut gig may happen down that way this year, still waiting to hear on a couple variables.

Yes, I'm Planing on the Hali-butt area 1 this year and Tuna. This will be the first year for the Arima , as I've boat hor'd on other boats out of Westport and Newport

Keep me posted if you need crew.

I bring mostly jig gear and have a few live bait setups as well .

Finished the molds yesterday, a full week ahead of target day.

Must admit I was a little disappointed in that I got to spend very little on new tools. My 25 year old B&D had only a 1/2 stroke and most likely 20 year old blades both where upgraded. The new Craftsman has a 1 inch stroke with various speed setting, It also has a line blower so I was able to not pass out from hyperventilating. Picked up some Bosch T 30880 blades between the two I thought I was driving a race car.

Image

My cheap Home depot tape measure bit the dust so I picked up a Drywall square and a 72 inch straightedge both had increments down to the 1/8th inch, which is all I needed. Total new tool investment under $ 100.00

Heading to Seattle to pick up foam for the hull next week, should have the jig built by then.

So, that boat building thing is just an excuse to buy new tools? :D

If you have a reason to build a boat, new tool is a pretty good one

I'll be watching this build closely. I'm very interested in this boat.
