Well I ought to come clean then... I am a lesbian stuck in a mans body...

I liked my 38... Rode pretty good and as mentioned was a fish raiser... Swapping her power though was a mistake. I had a lot of marlin clients and she wasn't performing up to snuff. Then the other issue was giving up over a ton of weight in the engines she picked up speed. Too much speed. Her old planks coudn't hold their caulking at 24 knots after a life of 17 knots...
I had my own private Jap for a couple years. Name was Takamura but we called him Wang... He paid pretty good but was a picky bugger... "Oh fish was gaffed, oh fish lay on side, oh fish is dead..."Always something...
Still have a cash buyer contact who carries a kit and pays fair but top dollar isn't to be expected.
