Checking in from the American Angler, we're still alive, well and have been in our maintenance period.... Like every year (and this year is no exception), it's been a good one.
The Crew has been working everyday on the boat since the arrival of the last fishing trip which returned in late Feb., ran by Capt Ray Lopez, and as of today we are wrapping up boatwork for a completion date a week before Day of The Docks.

Most commonly asked question ......What are you guys doing to the boat this year?
Answer - this year we did everything from painting the Mast to replacing the combings of the fish holes. There is countless hours involved in operating one of these Long Range boats every year and some improvements our customers notice but most of what we do, goes unoticed and is behind the scenes. Just giving back to our girl who is so good to us, and this is the time to return the favor. Won't go into any more detail now.....you'll have to see for yourself at Day of the Docks, the boat is in Cherry condition (again) right now and ready to Rock!
We have a few photos of the crew who have been busting their Butts to tear the boat up and then put it all back together again to keep her in the condition you all expect that translates to well over 1600 man hours.(check out picture of veggie box built by Steve Leonhart - it's beef and beautiful!)
