After essentially a lifetime-to-date as a passionate fisherman, a lot of years of owning small boats and a lot of years waiting for the right time to do so, with some planning and more'n a wee bit luck, a minor league dream has come true. I'm a pretty happy chappie. At the slip and ready to go. Had the lassie meet her new salty chariot last night, and as I sweated, she checked it out carefully and fully before declaring that she loves it. Whew!

Thanks, lads. Hung the outriggers on it, had all hoses replaced, new batteries, new plugs, cleaned tanks, new fuel senders, new all kinds of stuff. Comm, radar, chart plotter and sounder being checked and double checked. All new safety gear, etc., etc. Not exactly cheap, but shyt, we all get only one shot at this thing we call a lifetime. I intend to continue living it in the way I feel it should be lived. Tallyho!

With a ~300 mile range, all of the above. But the answer to your question is C. North Shore (Merrimack river). I'm not a superstitious cat, but it just so happens this vessel is the one I caught my first tuna on, maybe some 12 years ago. I plan to make it the vessel I catch my first thousand pound tuna on, too. Come on, karma!
