Stoked for y’all on the upgrade! Nice of you to give her a new heart on her birthday.
How’s it feel at 30+, Jeff?

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Yeah, 30 feels a bit excessive......Jon Davis does 45 in his....
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
30.3 looks like the max with just me on glass. With Elaine and I, it was 29.2 or so. Both speeds more than fast enough. Cruising effortlessly at 25 is amazing.

Got another monster drum on the fly. I actually think we are getting the hang of it!

Good for Auntie Elaine! As long as she outlives me, don't matter!

How long did it take to get that slob to the boat in what weight rod?

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Ha! Yes, it was a slab. 9 weight rod, 5-8 minutes. Towards the end it kept going under the boat, I had to troll away to get some angle on him without turning the rod into a G clef. She got lashed, again, about a minute in after the first run, we thought we were done for but it worked out. And yes, I use "we" a lot.............but i built the boat!Dan_Smullen wrote: ↑Sun Jul 10, 2022 8:04 am Tank!
