My new ride…….

[MakoMatt]

2004 28’ Albin TE, F/V EMMA
I’ll be keeping her here in NY. I didn’t get enough use out of keeping a boat in FL during winter months as it seems to be blowing most of the time. Additionally, the productive bottom fishing for groupers and the like out of the Venice area is usually in the 60 miles off the beach area. Right now she is at the Freeport Tuna Club, and will be gettin* some routine maintenance along with some new electronics and other gear.

Nice ride Matt, have you kept tabs on the Nikki Ann?

 

[MakoMatt]

I hear about her from time to time. I believe the guy I sold her to still owns her. A couple of years ago I think she was having new decks put in at Lukens Marine Services. They do a lot of Grover restoration work.

Seems like just yesterday I named my boat NIKKI ANN, after my daughter. Move the clock forward a quarter of a century and it now it’s in honor of my granddaughter, EMMA

Perfect way to honor a grandchild!

BTW, while you are rigging her up, I would say the 2 rod holders I see on your radar arch are a little lonely. Can never have enough rod holders, especially with the guys I fish with!

O nothing. I was referring to the never enough rod holders. I'm one of the guilty party bringing like 5 rods just for me
