    Default Coming down the ditch

    Last Mango, the hybrid Freeman/Rybovich is headed back to Florida after whacking tuna up north. Keep an eye out if you are nearby. Very cool concept boat...

    I saw it running through Winyah Bay on its way north earlier this year. RIP Jimmy

    I got to meet Jimmy when he came to pick the hull up. It was a cool day at work. We also got to tour the boat in Shem creek once finished. Its a sweet ride. Hate he didn't get to convert a 47.

    Boat was finished off by Merritt. Saw it under construction down in Pompano when we helped run a buddy's Merritt down there for some upfitting. They had just started the mock up....it was a just a hull, deck and engines. Pretty interesting seeing what it started from to what the finished product was.

    Almost perfect world...a 70 mph Freeman with A/C!!

    I caught my first snook under the lights of Jimmy Buffet’s dock beside his previous boat, which was a Rybovich. I think it was called the Margaritavich.

    The last boat he was building was a 56ft Merritt cat. He didn't get to see it finished but left it to Capt Vinnie upon its completion.
