Gas Engines

[Baca]

I am looking to charter a boat for an overnight canyon trip in August...One catch...I can't take the smell of diesel fumes...What boats (gas engines) go out of or near Ocean City, NJ?

I think you may run into a couple snags with that wish. Most gas boats are going to be fairly small so it would be cramped at best and could get squirrellly with weather. Second snag would be a lot of boats range with gas really tightens the reigns as to over night. I run a 28 Albemarle out of Ocean City Md thats gas. She carries enough fuel but with just a v berth it would make for a very limited group...

Huh? Who has time to sleep on an overnighter?????



LOL we did it on mine and slammed the yellowfin and Mahi and the Longfin in the morning lol.....

Who has time to sleep?????

Passengers like to sleep going out and back. That V is no place to try that...
I do overnighters with her as long as every one is on the same page that the party will be four guys and sleep isn't likely. Out of Oc we can bang the baltimore by day and chunk the dog by night and that works pretty well...

Kennys Intruder that I run out of Barnegat has underwater exhaust and I can't even smell her...

There ya go lol....

Only time my little V is ok to sleep is while trolling lol.

Which is when I finally caught a 1/2 hour of sleep on the last trip Till the rods went off that is lol.

Nothin' like the smell of diesel tho....... Early in the AM with your coffee

*EDIT*

Heh, was funny this past summer...while working on a shark show with Northeast Angling, the Co-Host Rich was sleeping in the V on the way out, and when I hit a submerged object (luckily only kicking my outdrive up) he came out of the V pretty damn quick LOL. Until then he was resting well.

Gotta love these deep V's, no?

Hello Baca,

I would like to invite you to consider us for you trip. As Deep C stated, you will be hard pressed to find a gas powered boat that runs canyon shot overnighters. We are no exception... I run a Mirage 32', a twin diesel powered boat. However she is a twin I/0 with under water exhaust. The diesel exhaust smell that is normally associated with sportfishers is not present due to the underwater exhaust.... I can't promise a "zero exhaust policy", but I don't notice a perceptable "smell".. Check out our website at Adrenalinesportfishing.com, PM me or give me a call at either 410 472 1139 home or 443 375 2177 cell and we can discuss your plans for a trip and your concerns for your comfort and that of your crew.

Baca,

Have to appologize... Just say the NJ behind the Ocean City... We're down in Maryland...

Baca, you might want to check w/our own Admin John. If he's back here for the summer, he runs charters out of our place and is always up for overnight runs. He lives to fish!!!

Outboards with gas are probably the best way to go. I had a 33' Egg Harbor with gas engines. A canyon trip overnight took 300 plus gallons of gas. Admin and several others on here run outboards out of South Jersey. The problem is sleeping conditions. Most are open boats, you sleep on the deck. However if a 61 year old (me) can sleep on a bean bag on the deck, I'm sure you younger guys can. Besides all you are looking for is an hour or 2
