High performance sterndrive/inboard initial costs as well as maintenance and repairs have never been cheap. They weren’t necessarily known to be reliable either. I can’t count how many I’ve seen barely get beyond the dock, if they even made it that far, without a catastrophic failure. Warranties wer...

We repowered this Venture 34 from Cocodrie last year with a pair of Mercury Racing 300Rs and updated the electronics with Simrad. It was previously powered by a pair of Mercury Racing 300XS Optimax, so this was a complete re-rig from engine controls/rigging to steering. We also modified the console ...

I have no problems with sharing pictures of a few of the boats that come through our shop for others to enjoy....

Best time? The next 30 or so days for the best shot at big fish. Guides? I’d recommend any one of our customers: - Southern Catch - Voodoo - Mexican Gulf - Intensity Offshore. ...

If you decide to make it down to Venice, look up Capt. John Cole with Southern Catch Outfitters. His new boat should be ready soon and he’s also going to be running a second boat this year. If John’s booked, you can’t go wrong with MGFC, Voodoo, Intensity Offshore, Louisiana Bluewater, or any of ...
