California Fishing
Jun 9, 2022 15:32:08 #
Those of you that were at the North California M&G knew I had been looking for a coast/bay worthy fishing boat, well fellas as of yesterday I am a co-owner of the pictured boat. While I was in Minnesota I came across one that checked all the boxes on Craigslist and emailed it to my salt water fishing buddy (not a stage member). He went and looked at it and put a down payment down. I told him I trusted his judgement, so we are now the owners!!
It’s a 25’ Wellcraft Cuddy Cabin Walk Around, ‘08 275HP Evenrude Verado, 4 stroke, comes with outriggers, elec. Down riggers, 3 fish finders/GPS (2 @ helm, 1 @ stern), windless anchor, Aluminum trailer, elec. Crab pot puller, toilet and a cabin to sleep, store or just get out of the elements in. I love the ocean, I love salt water fishing, I hope to love being a boat owner (I know, happiest 2 days……..and B.O.A.T. -break out another thousand!)
So the adventures begin…………

Beautiful boat Denny. I've known several people who owned Wellcrafts, and never heard a single complaint from any of them. Congratulations Captain!

No doubt there will be some of that, but you only live once and at this stage of the life cycle I plan on making the most of it!

Thanks Fred, really appreciate it! I did my research and wellcraft is (was) a respected boat builder, not a Grady or Boston Whaler, but a well built hull and design.
