    Rod Storage on 290 Amberjack

    I have not been able to find any solution to mount rods in the cabin. I am thinking on making some sort of verticle holder that I could simply sit on the floor next to the steps, but have not found a good solution as of yet.

    Is Bigger Really Better?

    Size should be determined by what you can handle and dock by you self, with out a crew. I don't necessarily want my wife on the bow, trying to tie lines to a pylon, running up and down the gunnels with a boat hook etc. Thats just me, but I simply don't want to rely on anyone to run the boat...

    Sorry Guys, I have to brag. I am on the boat now, watching TV with a portable heater. I finally moved to a covered slip and left her in the water. I have to use the bath house, but it sure is nice to be on the boat.. It really is a nice little man cave in the winter..... I dont think I'll...

    Going from 260 to 320.

    Here is my expererience, going from a 260 DA (85 gallon tank) to a Amberjack 290 (250 gallon tank with v's). We usually run anywhere from 75-100 hours a season, so we run alot. With the 260 we would top off the tanks pretty much every weekend. So every weekend when we pumped out it...

    Any tips for backing in a boat with a single engine?

    Deerock is right on. I ran a 28 foot single engine boat for years. We had a concrete floating dock with no pillings or anything to bump off of. The docs were short so all you had was anchor pulpits to look at, very intimidating on windy days. I found the best technique was to use short burst...
