Breaking in my 1800 with a nice size striped bass

[pj_elia]

5th time out with my new to me 1800. This is the largest fish yet on this boat. A 28lb striper. The boat is everything I was looking for. She handles great, especially with the tabs. Also, the new tackle storage I installed worked out well.

PS- Word of advice for those that trailer. I had the bungee disconnected on the rear jumpseats. Apparently, I hit a decent bump and the hatch door flew up and broke off. I did not see it until I got to the launch. I hope no one got hurt by it. Hopefully I can order one from Parker.

Got him live lining a bunker. I snagged some bunker out of the large schools and anchored off the channel near the schools. I was fishing with cut bunker and one live.

I don't have all the numbers yet. I was get low 30's kts full a full tank and 2 people but it was a bit choppy so it wasn't all trimmed. I have'nt calculated fuel consumption yet.
