Pacemaker Boats

Shawn, You probably used it more than me. We should consider ourseves fortunate to be working. I feel guilty working the hours that I am working, mainly because the company does not want to replace pe ...

Rich,

It looks like everyone is enjoying themselves. It reminds me when a local radio station does their annual "Day On The Bay."

Fishing had been slow, with a lot of throw back fluke/summer flounder. The small bluefish were a good diversion. The big break came for me on Wednesday, Aug. 19, just before the rain, from Bill. While ...

Terry,

You lucked out. All the work was almost up in smoke. What was the cause?

John

LOOKING GOOD!!! Worth the price and the effoert.

Shawn,

Starting July6, I have scheduled my vacation weeks every other week. We also may be going to 10 hour days, 4 day work week with Friday off. If you need a hand or want to stretch a line ...

Shawn,

The good news is that we are not working Saturday. Here is my schedule for the weekend: Friday Night-40th wedding aniversary(GOOD FRIENDS), Saturday Morning- Fishing on the Dixie, After ...

Shawn,

If you haven't already done it it is not that difficult. You my have to rotate the engine when installing. I am almost sure that there is a rod that depresses the arm on the pump. Make su ...

Rich,

My compliments, BEAUTIFUL JOB. That bis on my list of improvements and upgrades. Mine is not as bad as the old one. I made repairs to mine a couple of years ago but I want to replace it.
...

Shawn,

I am glad that everything worked out alright. I don't think that I would use that yard again. In April I pulled my exhaust manifolds off. Between working every Saturday, weddings, grad ...

Shawn,

The weather forecast for our area as of this afternoon is: 40% chance of rain on Saturday. Sunday is supposed to be nice. Good Luck.

John

Shawn,

That is what I would do. I pulled the exhaust manifolds on the Wahoo. All that I need is time to put the new manifolds on. I have been working every Saturday and a couple of hours OT al ...

Shawn,

The engines sound great. Take it for a run. If they run good, they ain't broke. If they ain't broke don't fix it. They may come back broke. How does that sound for philosophy. The way I lo ...

It is hard to believe that it is Spring. The temp when I got up was 19. We had a "snow flurry white out" to quote one of the guys at work yesterday. I hope that everyone started getting his tackle tog ...

Gents,

My main project this year is to change my exhaust manifolds, risers, elbows and all of the hardware. The budget ran short when doing the engine and it is now time. Terry I know how you f ...

Thanks Terry, great idea. It is all in one place.

John

Everyone have a HAPPY NEW YEAR. I wish everyone good health, a prosperous year and a great boating and fishing season.

John

I wish everyone a Happy Holiday.

John

Rich,

Nice looker. Hope you had a good season.

John

Leo,

You are right, another fishing season comes to an end. Time to go over the old tackle and make the wish list for next year. Christmas is coming.

John

Thanksgiving, 11-27-2008: First off, Happy Thanksgiving. Took my brother in law out for some trolling. Beautiful morning. We caught Big Blues. No stripers. Had a lot of laughs. Time for the turkey at ...

Happy Thanksgiving to all from me and my family. Leo is right. Let's hear from everyone, even if it is about another hobby or a funny story or a good joke (tired about Obama jokes).

John

Sunday, Nov. 23: Was hoping to get out today. Had a flu shot the other day, and sometimes when I get one, I wind up feeling lousy a couple of days later. Today was the day. Looking to go Thanksgiving ...

Saturday, November 22: Temp 23, Wind NNW @ 9 with sustained gusts to 24mph. Whimped out, never left the dock.

John

Mike,

I am supposed to be off Saturday and Sunday. The weatherman says low 22 with a high of 38 on Sat. and a low of 28 and a high of 42 on Sunday. The Wahoo is very cold and sometimes I wish ...

Mike,

As soon as someone starts a project, I am sure that it will start rolling.

John

November 16, 2008: Been busy the last couple of weeks and the weather did not help. Cabin fever got me this morning. I knew that with wind gusts to 31mph I was not going to run the inlet for stripers. ...

Leo,

I have never had one apart, but what I am told is that they are easy to rebuild and the rebuild kits are not expensive. Why not over the winter, get the manual, disassemble it, survey the ...

Leo,

All that I have to say is OUCH. I wish her a speedy recovery and hope that she feels better and that the damage is minimal to OUR TURN. A good friend of mine did something very similar to ...

I have not had a problem with it yet.

John

Sunday, November 2,2008: My son and I both worked on Saturday. After work we both went down to the boat just at sunset. Weather: could not be nicer. Problem: we promised my wife that we would help the ...

I can see how the Nov. 1 rule makes sense, mainly for the water freezing and it seems the colder or later into the season it gets, the less people show up to work. They seem to figure that if they are ...

Leo, you are right about the party boats advertising for ling, but most of them advertised as ling and whiting. I am going to have to try them.
Terry, lot's of luck with your Mother in law. I had min ...

Leo,

I never had Ling. It seems that whenever we caught ling, we were targeting another species and I never kept any. Come to think of it my father always refered to them as trash fish, so none ...

It is that time of the year again. Figured that I would bring it up again to see if there are any new tips. Don't forget to add stabilizer, STARTRON and E-Zorb to the fuel. Ethanol loves to break down ...

Your right, it is a beautiful day. Just got back from dropping stuff off for my wife and helped her set up. The best part is that it is close by. The thought crossed my mind about going out, but I hav ...

Terry,

I spent my day getting caught up on chores around here. I hate to say it, but I am planning on pulling the Wahoo on Election Day. A little earlier than I planned, but it may be my only b ...

Saturday, 10/25/2008: First Saturday off this month. Promised my wife that I would help her set up and pack up at a craft fair on Sunday, because I would be out fishing on Saturday and she hardly asks ...

Sunday, 10/19/2008: Due to the high winds, no fishing this weekend. My neighbor went out on Wednesday looking for stripers and they caught blues to 15lbs and his nephew caught a big fluke that was rel ...

Sunday, October 12, 2008: After leaving at 5:00 this morning to catch the tide and not catching 1 weakfish, my son and I officially closed our weakfish season for 2008. We played with some small blues ...

Mike,

I am pretty much on top of the honey-do list. She wants to do some major renovations to the house, including a remodeling the kitchen, both bathrooms plus a crazy idea about adding a bath ...

Mike,

This is really interesting. If I am not mistaken, Seildeman bought Pacemaker and now his company (I believe that he is deceased) is building Silverhawk. A lot of ideas from the Wahoo.
...

One of my chores last Sunday after fishing was to split firewood. Something I never do is to leave gas for a long time in my small engines. When I am done I always shut the fuel off and run the carb d ...

Terry,

I am very cautious before I buy anything. Unless you can be sure that there are no liens, I would not bid on it. Like Mike said and I agree, if the price is right you can always upgrade ...

Saturday, Oct. 4,2008: My wife called me at work around 1pm and suggested that since it was a nice day, as soon as I got home to go fishing for a couple of hours and then we could go out to dinner. I ...

I'll keep my Pacemaker, thank you. Last Sunday when I went out, a small craft advisory was out. Eventhough we stayed in the bay, most boats were like corks. We were stable and dry the entire time. The ...

That is interesting. Now if they only listened to Grandpa and not the accountants, they would have a great product that would last. Mike, I never knew anyone who had one. My curiosity is stirred. I ma ...

Leo,

It is supposed to be beautiful this weekend. Too bad that I have to work on Saturday. I will be out early on Sunday. The weakfish in the lagoon is a great sign.

Tight Lines

Got out for a little this afternoon. Cabin fever was getting me, so my son and I took The Wahoo out mainly for a ride in between the rain and fog. We brought the light trolling rods and a couple of sp ...
