Welcome aboard Paul. I'm originally from Miami myself. Grew up in Perrine, just to the west of you. Went to school in Cutler Ridge and did my boating out of Mathason Hammock, Black Point and Convoy Point (Homestead) so I know your area very well. I didn't attend Miami (FIU is my Alma mater) but growing up we were Canes fans since elementary school. I'll start a thread for your tank rebuild in the Rebuild forum. You'll get a lot of response and searching that forum will get you more that you'll ever want to know about installing fuel tanks.Good luck.]
i'm so close to black point, i go out from there all the time.
Im Ryan here in NC. Found your site and found gran398 because someone on facebook lead me in his direction. Him and I were not super far apart. As for my boat. Well divorce helped me get rid of my 2009 Pioneer Cape Island - It's alright that boat was always 3 to 4 foot short. I've decided to restore a Aquasport 22-2 / Nope Ive not found one yet, so how much restoring I have to do is yet to be seen. I've been a boat man my whole life. Some like horses, some motorcycles - Me I can see promise in just about any boat (just about). And I did mention I like fishing didn't I? And I didn't say catching, thats a Bonus. You won't see a trophy fish on my wall. To me fishing is about 5 to 10% about catching a fish. That might actually be 1% if fly fishing :-)Anyway, like I said Im in North Carolina outside of Raleigh. When I'm not fishing - I'm thinking about boats and fishing :-). Actually I spend a fair amount of time kayaking, running, watching NCAA football as I'm a Buckeye at Heart!! Actaully spending time with my 14 and 16 year old boys who are trying to send me to the grave early is my favorite pasttime. I love them more than life - but my gosh am I paying for putting my parents through H E double hockey sticks!! Anyway, thanks for having me - I'm lurking until I find a intellegent question to ask. But for me, it's admiring and learning about some thigs before I start. Also maybe it will help me make a decision. Although I can tell gran398 knows his stuff very well. He will probably lead me in the right direction. I dio know sometimes a pretty boat is not a good boat. Learned that with a 22 foot Hancock Jet-Drive I bought and sold in 6 months. Sure I could cruise in 4 inches of water but would scare every fish withing a 1 mile radius with a Big Chevy 350 pushing a Kodiak 3 stage Jet. I fish Oak Island, NC, Southport, NC, Fort Fisher, NC, Harkers Island, NC, Cape Lookout, NC, OBX, NC, and all places in between. My dream to land a tarpon, and then land a tarpon on the fly.I learned this about reddrum. First learn how to catch them, then try to fly fish for them :-) Hope to be chatting soon :-) God Bless you all and fish On!!!
