Pics tommy, I need Pics. My ASSumption would be it's Jimmy's new toy...

 

[tautog1]

That is Speedy's latest project. Some have taken to calling it "The Black Pearl". I don't know what the whole plan is, but he has his work cut out for him on this one.

I heard through the grapevine that yes it's for Jimmy, and I also heard, but once again on the rumor mill that big daddy originally just wanted the generator on the vessel, but the owner told him for a little more I'll give you everything, and looks like that's what happened...but what do I know, I now live in CT, but have good sources.

Oh J, or Mark, 7/21 Cashes Ledge trip on the Yankee Capts, my 1st boss will be fishing on there with me as well that day....initals are RK, should be a blast. Just a thought if you guys can make it.

 

[ctwhitechin]

i don't know the particulars J, I haven't been to crabtree in about 2 years....I'm just going by 2nd hand info, but I know he sent Josh out w/the big boat a few times I was told and he was there sanding away....I don't want to speculate anymore what he's going to do with it..yeah fishing w/RK should be fun...muscle Jerry V, and another old mate from the 80's that I'm sure you wouldn't know as he was gone before I started working there.

But you know me, I get scared when i can't see land, that's why I go porgy fishing w/Davey....LOL

The 21st? That has posibilities. Gotta check with the calendar (my wife) to see what we have around then.

 

[ctwhitechin]

I always liked those boats J, that is one of the better looking ones, remember ARnie's 1st one, the Speedy JR? The one that little caesar bought? That one needed some TLC when Pooka got it, there's not too many of them left...

 

[tautog1]

Marc, I believe that IS the Speedy Jr.

 

[ctwhitechin]

nope, I think that was the island princess...the Speedy JR was smaller, let me look again,

 

[tautog1]

My bad. You are 100% correct.

 

[crabcake]

The boat on that link is the original Island Princess, the second Captree Princess, and current BMH.

The Speedy Jr. was the 1st Captree Princess and wound up in Woods Hole. Let Robbie tell you the story about that trip to Mass.

I loved both of those vessels!!!

 

[tautog1]

Jay,

were you there when I wanted to see if we could charge people to take them out on the raft we used to clean the hull? I loved fluking with speedo's big bluefish sticks.

 

[steamboat1]

Before the boat pictured was in Captree she sailed from SHB as Capt. Tony Mo's Mohawk. Don't know the history before that but I know she was in NJ also after SHB.

Speedy and the Galley LOL ... how dare you Jason!!!

I remember shelling out $50 of my own money so we would have sandworms for the week cuz speedy wouldnt buy them for the weakfish trips and him giving me a hard time about (out of desparate starvation) making a "murder burger" and how they cost him $2.00 each.......

"Those arent cheap little buddy"..

Jason I'll never forget when Decker went ahead and filled the freezer in scotty with stuff to sell in the galley and Me,Yesal and Richie Nolan had a feast after a long night trip LOL nothing like a C.O.D meal.. (Courtest Of Decker)

So now I want to know what this new "project" is. Where's it from?

 

[crabman1130]

That looks like Nicks first IP. You could only reach the pilot house through the cabin. That other person's boat had an entry from the deck.

Crabby, one correction, that's not Donna in the picture, it's Laura. Look at Gregory in the backgound. Talk about bringing back memories. Back then my biggest worry was "Do I go to the OBI tonight, or do I go to Kismet?" Good times. I gotta go, I need a tissue. (sniffle)

Speedy had the Yank boat that Jimmy has now, so that picture is 1999. You want to see something funny? Donald Zinc all 6'7-8" of him in Nicky's little wheel house on that boat He had to take the chair off of the pedestal to run the boat.

You're correct that is Laura, I always made that mistake..

I have a ton of IP memories. My son's first trip was with Nick.

There are some more crew shots here.
