Then came a laser sailing dinghy.

02 Carolina Skiff 175 RG Honda 90 -
dude those V20’s are so bad a$$. i love them. one of the best riding boats EVER. that bow flare takes what ever you throw at it.
ft worry.
rig every rod you own with cajun thunders and you will at least look cool… look at all those pretty colors goin down the ole interstate. . .
Botes in order I acquired them (not counting fixer uppers that I just flipped after buying).
ALL bought with cash money.
1984 17’ Aquasport Osprey w/ 1984 Johnson 140. Sold the 140 for what I paid for the boat, and put a new (huricane salvage) 2005 Johnson 90 on it.
1985 20’ Welcraft V20 (owned with roommate) w/ 1985 Johnson 200 short shaft. Sold that motor, got a 1989 Johnson 150 long shaft, raised the transom 5 inches and hung the 150 on it. Also went to NC to get a surplus aluminum trailer from NC DNR sale for this rig.
Current rig: 1988 21’ Mako 211. 2001 Yamaha 200 HPDI. Been doing lots of work to it. ( owned with wife )
As you can see, I am moving up considerably each step.

Capt Ed,
How does the Cat ride compared to the Red hydrosport? Nice boat by the way
Thanks coates…The hydro sport was one of the best riding mono hulls I’ve had but there really no comparison to the Cat. The Cat is much smoother and dryer ride also a lot more fishing room, almost 3 mpg, low 50’s WOT and less than 2’draft. I use this boat for shrimping to offshore. Sold two boats and bought one…
