Ed Kennell 35,809 #1 Posted May 20, 2015 Used the Commando 8 to pull the Carolina Skiff project out into the sun.Last fall I decided to scale down to ONE boat. I sold my 23' Trophy WAC and my 15' Grumman and bought this 19' Carolina skiff in Jan.Much of the winter was spent rigging it for crabbing and fishing in the Delaware Bay.It cane with the 70HP Johnson. I added the mount for the 9.9 and painted both motors.Added rod holders, front seat, cleats, wash down system, front roller for pulling crab pots, spare tire, float on bunker guides ,Lorance chart plotter, Hummingbird fish finder,Garmin GPS.Will launch tomorrow at Cedar Creek , Delaware. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,231 #2 Posted May 20, 2015 Good luck out there Ed. That boat is a beauty...like the plug in sticker. My buddy and I are going Salmon fishing tomorrow, in his boat, on Lake Michigan. I'll bet you are chomping at the bit to get out there also. Hope you have a great day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,559 #4 Posted May 23, 2015 Real nice boat! I'm dragging mine out this weekend to "un-winterize it" and should be in the water Sunday (and maybe Monday!)Mike............ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shallowwatersailor 3,213 #5 Posted May 23, 2015 Makes me miss Smelt fishing in Lake Michigan. I know, not quite the same, but fishing none the less. Nice project results, Ed.How did crabbing go? The best I can do for crabs is "Nick's" near Baltimore Harbor, and "Tidewater Grille" in Havre de Grace. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,809 #7 Posted May 26, 2015 The plug was in and it floats. We caught a few crabs , flounder, croakers and a ton of horseshoe crabs. I did have to throw some chicken and ribs on the grill to feed the gang.Great weekend with Mike and his family. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
