That's what i named my CS. Its a 95 17' with a 40 zuke. I've had it up to 15 miles offshore, and the biggest fish i put in it was a 42lb striper in the delaware bay. Sure, i'd like a bigger boat, but i just can't part with my baby. I've run it across super shallow water (6") and trailered it all over the place. I mainly fish behind O.C, longport,margate,ventnor, and A.C in Jersey. I can also be seen on nice days runnin off the beaches. I have gotten caught out front when the wind came up, and simply pulled 2 plugs in the back while running in, and as the water came over the bow, it would just drain out.
It's a great little boat that Me, my family, and friends have put more fish in than i can count.
Nice ;D

I have a 19Dlv that is a few months old. It replaced a Wellcraft v20 that I used to keep on the Patcong river behind O.C. I fish the same areas as Eel. ;)

Haven't namer mine. Its a 17' semiv with a 50 suzuki 4 stroke. I used to be at Steves DeepWater Marina up Patcong also, but this year I'm gonna trailer it. All you guys that fish behind OC and longport and the general area drop me an email so we can get together. Eelball, I have not gotten the courage to hit the front yet, but I think I've seen you heading out a few times. Hope to follow you out sometime this summer to get the hang of it. Willie
