Congratulations to Jeff, the new owner of the Mischief. You have got yourself one GREAT boat! Very best of luck in your travels with it. Matt & Connie Mattson

Thanks for that. I've never heard any of the owners or former owners complain about any work done to the boat, we've all universally loved it. Very best of luck with your "little girl."

Some sad news: Some of you might remember the trip we took up the Intracoastal to deliver the Mischief to Maryland: https://youtu.be/PLre_kjIJ8Q Well the new owner's health has failed, and the the boat is up for sale (at a giveaway price as far as we're concerned). $28K. The last 3 owners...

The 757 is my favorite too. The 757 767 generation jets were the first I worked as field service engineer for Saft (we designed the charging/battery system along with Eldec) and they were the first OEM aircraft to come out with our product. Later, with Eastern I finally got to run and taxi...

That sounds real good too! Will try it.

That even looks like a sheep.

Agree on the taste, their fondness of crab probably has a lot to do with that - much better fish than grouper to me. Negative is the fins. Those snails have a fondness for concrete seawalls and I've noticed a lot of them right at the boat ramps here in Fl. A similar fish, easier to catch...

How To Catch Big Sheepshead - How To Attract Big Sheepshead - Sheepshead Tactics, Sheepshead Bait - YouTube Turns out the #1 thing they eat is grass . . . which was a real surprise to me, followed by mollusks then crabs and fish. Freddie also taught us there is a type of fiddler crab they...

Ours had 2 50 aluminums, replaced stbd. with 2 25 plastics from I know not where. We carried an extra 50 in cans for trips. Not the best setup for "serious cruising" but it worked for us just fine.

Cappy: you are pretty much on the mark with observation. Significant money can be saved by installing plastic saddle tanks, and using a local automotive glass installer for the glass work. If anyone is still following the Mischief - I would use caution going with 52 hp - this proved barely...

This may be "off the deep end" but here goes: http://youtu.be/Mpxfu8b8yCo

http://youtu.be/vVZvxqEXD4s Only took slightly more than a minute (1:13) - make sure your gas is locked up. The Sheriff says they like the pure boat gas for meth. Matt Mattson

After finally getting enough time to go through the thread, I agree with Cappy and would take it one step further and do a video series. This is a very interesting project you're doing, not to mention using it to do the ICW. Very best of luck to you!

Thanks for that and best of luck in your travels with that most unusual looking boat! How wide is that? Are there any pictures of the cabin? Thanks again

BandB, ben2go, thanks for that and yes we're continuing on our adventures on the Whaler. rwidman, Moonstruck: from what I could gather, the place is being split up due to a contentious divorce case. The buffet has been long closed and agree that it has very much the feeling of lost splendor...

Very best of success in making the leap to cruising - adventures not to be missed - and of course, you're right - we couldn't stay away from the water for long - the new "big boat": Boston Whaler Dauntless 13 13' Whaler Dauntless Boston Whaler Dauntless - YouTube

I guess we need to check in more often . . . Congratulations on taking in that stray and giving it a good home!

Not an all bad thing. Owning our boat was one of the very best experiences we had. Good luck in finding one!

Many thanks for the kind replies - we'll still be around from time to time. Connie and I haven't given up boating, we have been updating our 1996 13' Whaler Dauntless to trailer behind a camper van, so we've slowed considerably, but not throwing in the towel. Safe Seas to all of you.

Thanks again all. In case you're wondering what movie Time Pilot (thanks for that) is talking about, this is it: An Immigrant's Tale The Immigrant's Tale An Immigrant's Tale The Immigrant's Tale Documentary - YouTube I originally came back to say we're not quite done with the Mischief (if all...

Thank you all for the replies - let me assure all of you that Connie and I have merely hit a health speed-bump, but not the wall - we'll be just fine after everything gets sorted out a little. It looks like the Mischief has found a new home in Maryland, and thankfully we never had to really put...

I'll put a message up in time on the other board, but just to let you know - the past year was filled with surgery, Dr.'s appointments and such, to the point we finally have to face reality that someone else will have to continue our cruise on the Mischief. It has been such a great experience...
