This past October I had the pleasure of fishing aboard the 135’ F/V American Patriot for a 3 day fishing extravaganza. Her home port is Marco Island, FL, and destination was the Dry Tortuga’s. She a great, very clean, very well maintained, and recently upgraded vessel. She has a very storied...

So I’m sure you remember Lon Wanser too. My grandfather has some custom rods he made.

I think I used to rent boats from him, and Pops too I believe. Many, many , many years ago.

The last 2 photos are Freedom Boat Club vessels, the other are from my boat. The 600 ponies are running perfectly, absolutely no issues. Im still not fond of outboards, but they are running great!!!

Thanks guys, from what I am reading it seems that most “mid-range,” price-wise, have GPS, while lower range units do not. How accurate they are to land on the small moving deck of a boat is another question I haven’t found an answer for yet.

I‘m looking at purchasing a drone to be used on the boat. I have ZERO knowledge about these things. Does anyone have any experience with these, recommendations, etc. I think an important feature would be one that is water proof, or water resistant, esp for salt water, and floats, with good...
