Harvey- unfortunately I had to return to Iowa yesterday and go back to work... boat restoration gets expensive! I would have loved to stay for the Friday Harbor gig. I will be back for the Salmon For Soldiers event at the end of August though. Jack- thanks, she is a great boat, well worth the...

Hey everyone, Just wrapping up a week of playing on Great Republic and shrimping. I laid eyes on her for the first time in person since the restoration began when I got to town last Thursday... Needless to say it was worth every penny I put into her. I have taken a million pictures over the...

Chromer- Deckhand position is open and yours if you want. I haven't fished out of Everett for years and could use someone with local knowledge. At least the pinks should be running. I love pinks… they make me feel like I know what I'm doing! PM me with your contact info and I'll add you to...

Thanks Thataway for the instruction. C-ness- I agree, Jesse has been great to work with, and yes, Great Republic has a very large dance floor for fishing. That was one of the main reasons I was drawn to the boat and why it was worth the extensive restoration to me. I can't wait to show her...

Added a couple of pictures in my restoration album. The cockpit is finished with blue non-skid and the cabin bulkhead is finished. My new pot puller, My-T-Hauler, just showed up from LFS. It shouldn't have any problems pulling my shrimp pots! Thanks for looking, Travis PS- I still can't...
