I will be driving the new Thorhammer. 24' McKee Freedom Express, twin 175 Zook's. I've been out of the game for seven years since I moved inland and sold the big boat, so my gear has sat idle except a trip or two a year with a buddy. I decided I only have another ten years or so with my knees to fish offshore of NC on small boats, so when I found this deal I jumped. Price was good enough I will keep my Edgewater CC to keep hours down on McKee.

McKee is built a couple hours from me and has a great reputation; the Marine Patrol used them.

Nice machine John!

The McKee's are well built. Love the Zook's too. Best ratio on the gear box of all the outboards.

Wish you all the best with It.  Lou

It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

Great vessel, John —

Don't worry about 10 years from now, just take each day and make the most of it by helping others as well as yourself.

That McKee is a good start — and a solid investment in your angling expression.

Best Always,

Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Bring the Tank. I've got some AJ's on a spot that like to break 80lb braid. Accurate twin spin won't stop them.

If I can't come and it's a long shot, do you want to use the Tank?  Dominick

I will be spending a few weeks debugging and rigging before I go offshore to Gulfstream but I would love to put the Tank on it when I do.  I'll get back with you when I will be getting out. The wahoo bite will be on by then too. not much but slinger mahi now.
