Nice work.......reminds me of Alumazilla. :D

As you have found, weight is not your friend, especially in a 1648 JB. Any weight you add just decreases performance. Use what you have to get the weight forward. Relocate the battery, anchor and fuel tank (get a bigger one) to the front. If you feel like must have more weight on the nose, get...

Congrats Gill Hunter! Not that I was consulted, but I completely agree! Watch your travel plans, I think a pair of roller skates will be faster and safer. Jerry :)

Sorry to pass on the bad news of Brian's passing. I was shocked to learn about it on his Facebook page. Brian A. Guy, 41, of New Port Richey, passed away on June 22, 2014. He is survived by his wife, Andrea, son, Andrew, daughter, Brianne, mother, Joanne, father, Gerald, brother, Kevin...

HOLY SUNSHINE batman! Don't do that to the INSIDE! :shock:

Because my boat is so old and so long, I named it AlumaZilla. Had plenty of space to put on the sides of the boat. My other choice was AlumaSarious Rex. It will go almost as shallow as a kayak with the motor up and the TM down. Jerry

So you've gone to the Dark Side eh? Nothing wrong wit dat Mike. Enjoy your new ride! Jerry :)

I can see why BB....very few things left in this world with fins like that. Does it have leather seats? Can't beat the smell of leather. Jerry :)

Nice decal Tony! Don't worry about the Ban Bass Addict/Captain Ahab thing. That Love/Hate relationship has been going on since the beginning of time and, I suspect they are twins separated at birth by some well meaning person. Most likely their parents. Happy Fathers Day to you all. Jerry :)

Congrats on the score, you are going to enjoy the di si feature. From your description of the mount, I'm having trouble visualizing the setup. The depth below the hull is good, but I'm unsure about the rest. Can you post a pic? I mounted mine on the transom on the port side about a ft off the...

Welcome Jason, I'm up here in Hudson. Jerry

The next tournament here is May 20th. I'll give Kevin (BigWave) a shout to see if something is going on in St. Pete a little sooner. He works at Fisherman's Ideal Supply House 727-391-7380. Jerry

Thanks Tim but you give the Zilla way to much credit. We were fishing a 38' Donzi with 3-275 mercs and still got beat up. The Zilla is good for flats only on a good day! Thanks for looking. Jerry :)

1st place Cobia, 1st place Mac, & $25 gift card all in the same tournament! WOOOO HOOOO! Fished 30 mi off Hernando Beach last Friday and got our brains beat out by the 5s and 6s knocking us around. Found out later SCA warnings were up. I was drifting a live shrimp near the bottom and saw a shark...

Sounds perfect, my tournament partner and I really struggle near or inshore (homosassa & chas) but, we kill them off shore 30-50 mi. Thanks for the tip! Jerry :)
