We fished Saturday and did very well in the Wilmington, 4 for 5 on white marlin, some very big fish, nice sulfur line and 1 degree break. My 11 year old son caught two. First time I had the boat in a hard head sea. Ran straight into a SE 3-4 ft head sea tightly packed for 65 miles. Backed the boat down at one point to 25 knots, but did 27 most of the time without pounding or slapping the hull. Everyone was sleeping with no issues, the boat is very impressive in a head sea. Just pushed the nose down with full tabs. Very dry also, only took spray on the front curtain a couple of times. Many turned back that day or backed down to 19 knots. Came home at 35-37 knots, very nice ride home.
This is why I bought a Jarrett Bay. Very nice and enjoyable day, and the custom liquor cabinet worked very well too!!
