Hey all, Sorry for the delay in replying. I've been building a new house and just haven't been online at all. Would I do it again? In a heart beat. I would do it for the extra room alone. The useful space gained far exceeded my expectations but then maybe it is the kind of space I needed and...

OK, I'll be the "turd in the punchbowl" on this subject or more accurately, the Wallas Stove is. I like "personality" in my dog, not a piece of equipment that will make or break a trip out with the girls. Get your Girl(s) wet, cold and hungry and see where "finicky and personality" gets you...

RedFox\'s Sport Hard top in action

A nice shot of the RedFox underway with his "sport hardtop" in the Beerthirty Album.

Ok, latest stats, 101.6 Miles,30.4 gals, 9.6 hrs.= 3.3 mpg and 3.16 gph. 5 people, food and gear, 56 gals of fuel on board, 5gals water, 2 1/2 gals of beer. Saw dolphins, seals, otters, goats and caught 3 halibut, 5 rock fish and 2 1/2 gallons of shrimp. Good luck to all of you...

Hey everyone, I haven't posted in a while but I needed to make a correction on some stats I posted previously. I stated that the Beer:thirty did 21 mph at 4 mpg. OOOPS! It actually was 21 mph (average) at 4 gph (average) and 5.25 mpg (average). Going out tomorrow for the first time since last...

Dan, You're killin me! I'd like to go and it would be good to meet you and yours but alas and alak, I can't. Payin for past sins I guess and I've got to work. Another time I hope, Bill

Joe, You're a dreamer and I love it! I can imagine the books you read as a child. Of course there is another possible explanation, in which case I'd like to have two of what ever you're on. Either way, I could see us as fast friends! You've a great imagination and I look forward to many more of...

Again guys, thanks for all your kind words and the name suggestion. I'm flattered. New Guy- fiberglass only length, stem to stern= 23' 2", add tilted motor and anchor assembly= another 4' and my tongue extends the length another 3' for an overall of 30' 2". Dusty- you outlined exactly why I did...

Thanks everyone! It really turned out to be what I wanted and needed. I must have been tired when I posted last because I forgot to put in the best observation I had. There are a lot of variables but with a similar load in what I think were similar seas the Beer:Thirty liked cruising at about...

I'm back from 200 miles of sea trials and I'm totally sold on this extension. My original reasons for doing this extension was because I kept adding more weight, and intended to add more. The Beer:Thirty began to feel like it was squatting at the stern and when pulling pots in heavier seas, I...
