Sea Pro Boats Makes Dometic’s Seastar Steering Equipment as Standard

S

ea Pro’s popular 259 DLX and soonto-be-launched 319 DLX center console fishing machines are the flagships of the Sea Pro line, which includes bay boats and deep-vee center consoles from 17 to 31 feet. The 259 DLX and 319 DLX measure 25’ 9” and 31’ 9” respectively, are built for today’s large, powerful outboard motors.

These boat models are packed with the latest features and advanced technology — making them an ideal match for Optimus EPS (Electronic Power Steering). Sea Pro will also be offering SeaStar Optimus 360 Joystick control as a factory option on these top-of-the-line models.

Optimus EPS provides today’s high-performance fishing boats with sports car like steering for superior comfort, control and maneuverability, along with the ability to fine-tune system parameters to match specific boat and operator preferences. Optimus Joystick control simplifies docking,

launching/retrieving and other close quarter maneuvers, taking much of the stress out of boating.

Sea Pro is also making SeaStar Power Assist steering standard equipment on the rest of its boat models rated for 150 horsepower outboards or larger. SeaStar Power Assist provides increased comfort and lighter steering loads for operators of bay boats and offshore center consoles with larger outboards.

“We want owners of new Sea Pro boats to enjoy the best possible experience every time they step behind the helm,” said Sea Pro Boats President Jimmy Hancock.

“This advanced SeaStar steering

technology provides a sense of effortless, precision control — especially important with today’s larger, more powerful engines. We want to deliver a boat that doesn’t just look great and fish great, but also feels greats to the driver.

SeaStar is helping us deliver on this promise,” added Hancock.

“At Dometic, we have a mature process to innovate solutions to meet the demands of sophisticated customers like Sea Pro boats.

We manufacture refined product and system solutions that make boats — and boating experiences — better and more enjoyable,” said Eric Fetchko, President of Dometic Marine Americas. “Sea Pro is building a strong reputation for serious saltwater fishing boats that put a premium on driving performance and operator enjoyment. We’re proud to be partnering with them in this way.”

NewBoats A Growing Family: Billfish Series Expands with 46 BF

www.TheMariner.com

T

he Viking Yacht Company has led the marine industry for 55 years in all aspects of boat design and construction, committed to producing innovative new yachts on a consistent basis. So it should come as no surprise that for every new Viking introduced, our in-house design and engineering teams have other models waiting for their turn in the spotlight.

Such is the case with our Billfish series. It is with great pride that we introduce our 46 Billfish, set to debut at the 2019 Viking Dealer Meeting & Sea Trial Event, September 9 through 12 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. At this same event Viking will also unveil its 38 Open Billfish, the stablemate to the new 38 Billfish that launched at the Viking VIP Preview in Riviera Beach, Florida, February 1st and 2nd.

“Our history has been to give our owners room to grow within a particular Viking family of boats, whether you’re talking about our convertibles, our open express and sport boats or our motor yachts,” says Viking Design Manager David Wilson. “Now

we’re simply following through with this type of product growth and diversity with the Billfish.

We’re extremely excited, and are sure these boats will meet and exceed all expectations.”

The 46 BF will excel as either an owner/operator or captained Viking. Offering simplicity and ease of maintenance, she’s a ready-to-go fishing machine equipped for inshore and offshore missions as well as a versatile cruising boat with reliable inboard diesel power.

Cockpit & Command Deck The 140-square-foot cockpit has room for the entire crew or family. The cockpit sole is built with a laminated in-deck mounting plate for fighting chair, rocket launcher or table installations. Standard equipment and features include a cockpit bait freezer with upper tray, in-deck insulated fish boxes port and starboard with overboard drainage, a walk-through transom door and lift gate, a transom fish box and live well, rod holders, tackle storage and fresh and sea-water wash downs. Twoperson, mezzanine-style seats flank the centerline

walkthrough, and there’s refrigerated drink storage in the starboard mezzanine step, as well as ample general stowage throughout.

The 46 Billfish’s command deck can be completely enclosed and is climate-controlled. “It’s perfect for anglers who want to get off their feet and cool down as the boat moves from one spot to the next,” says David. The command deck features a salon-like living area with a roomy U-shaped lounge and hi-lo table and a lounge that extends along the starboard side. Both seating areas hold rod storage underneath.

Like our legendary Viking convertibles, the 46 Billfish’s flybridge is designed with a tournamentstyle center console walk-around helm. The 46 Billfish has Palm Beach-style controls and powerassist hydraulic steering. Seating includes a single Release Marine teak chair (a second helm chair is optional) and lounges to port and starboard and a forward console seat. Our subsidiary Atlantic Marine Electronics can build and install a complete package of navigation and communication equipment to deliver the boat turnkey ready.

Accommodations Rest up and recharge in the 46 Billfish’s airconditioned cabin. Featuring high-gloss teak cabinetry and custom Amtico flooring, the fully appointed starboard-side galley has an L-shaped Corian countertop, a two-burner electric stove, a microwave/convection oven, cabinet storage and under-counter drawer-style refrigeration with a built-in ice maker. The private head, which is conveniently located immediately to port of the companionway stairs, has a large walk-in shower with satin nickel fixtures, an attractive Coriantopped vanity with sink and storage and a medicine cabinet with mirrored doors. Easily accessible upper and lower bunks on the port side await weary anglers, and there’s a hanging locker only a few steps away. The first-class accommodations

continue in the private forward stateroom, with its island queen bed, a hanging locker, upper storage cabinetry and a flat-screen TV with stereo, speakers and DVD player.

Efficient and Durable As Viking continues to develop the Billfish series, our building methods and materials have gained efficiency, which adds even more value to these boats. A modified vinylester resin is used in the entire hull skin. End-grain balsa and closed-cell foam are used as coring materials in selected areas for optimized strength and stiffness while minimizing weight. The integral fiberglass fuel tank, sealed to the hull with resin foam, is resin infused with balsa coring on all sides for stiffness. The hullto-deck joint is mechanically fastened every three inches and fiberglassed inside.

Viking Engineering The Billfish is designed and built with many of the same mechanical systems, components and technologies found on larger Vikings. Examples include the Delta-T engineroom ventilation system and a fire suppression system that’s automatically or manually operated and tied into the main engine and generator ignitions.

Running gear includes Class “S” pitch tolerance propellers with dynamic balancing and bronze struts, seacocks and rudders.

The engineroom, lazarette and forward bilges are painted with Snow White Awlgrip for increased visibility and ease of maintenance.

Sunflare Announces New Thin-Film Solar Capability Unique manufacturing process perfects CIGS, revolutionizes solar energy industry

T

he National Renewable Energy Laboratory declared in a recent report that due to tax credit extensions, the United States is projected to add 53 additional gigawatts of renewable energy capacity by the year 2020. The U.S. Energy Information Administration expects solar to achieve the greatest increases, adding 9.5 gigawatts of utility-scale solar in 2016.

This sets the stage for Sunflare, a new and highly innovative entrant in the solar industry.

Sunflare is the first company to successfully mass produce flexible, light, affordable CIGS solar panels. Sunflare has totally reengineered the manufacturing of CIGS panels with its Capture4 technology.

Efficiently mass producing CIGS thin film has been a challenge.

The solar industry has been plagued by a history of failures in CIGS, most notably with Solyndra in 2011.

12

“Sunflare has worked for six years to perfect Capture4, a cell-bycell manufacturing process with the highest degree of precision and the cleanest environmental footprint.

This allows us to do what no manufacturer of CIGS thin film has done before—mass produce efficient, flexible solar panels,” said Philip Gao, Sunflare’s CEO. Compared to crystalline Silicon, Sunflare is flexible and light because it does not use a glass substrate and has thinner layers of semiconductors. It is environmentally cleaner because it requires less energy to manufacture and does not use toxic chemicals.

Compared to crystalline Silicon, Sunflare captures 10% more energy from dawn

THE Florida MARINER #896 / 22 December 2019

to dusk at a comparable cost.

Sunflare is ideal for all rooftops, particularly large commercial buildings, because it’s over 65% lighter than Silicon modules. This allows the entire roof to be covered without load-bearing concerns. In addition, it is easier to install because it does not require an aluminum frame nor does it require building penetration. With Sunflare nearly any surface, vertical, horizontal, even curved, can be transformed into an energy gathering and power generating plant. www.sunflaresolar.com

DiscoverBoating Best Boats for Families

F

or many boaters, boating is a family tradition—a way of life that includes shared experiences like the very first time you take the steering wheel, catch a fish, or trim a sail. Not only are moments like these fun for the whole family, they’re moments that bring parents and kids closer together as the family becomes a “crew” through teamwork and shared responsibilities. For each and every member of the family to join in and participate, however, you’ll naturally want to choose a type of boat that everyone can enjoy to the fullest potential.

Just which is ideal for you and your family will depend on a number of factors: what sort of boating do you, your spouse, and the kids most enjoy? How large does it need to be, and what sort of accessories should it have? As you ask yourself these questions, remember that for most families one of these seven boat types are likely to be ideal.

Bowriders If joyrides across the lake or bay, towing water toys, swimming at the beach, and just generally kicking back on the water sounds like good times to you and your kids, a bowrider may be your perfect choice. This is one of the most popular forms of family boats out there thanks to versatility, copious seating, and easy access to the water.

Bowriders are available in a huge range of sizes that match just about every budget, from small 16-foot runabouts to 30-plus-footers with every comfort feature imaginable ranging from enclosed head compartments (full bathrooms) to complete

www.TheMariner.com

outdoor kitchens (though we call ‘em galleys, on a boat). And while they may not be the ideal platform for activities like fishing or overnighting, bowriders can be used for just about any waterborne activity you can dream up.

Cabin Cruisers Cabin cruisers tend to be larger than many other types of boats and can cost quite a bit more, but they also expand your abilities to include adventures like visiting distant ports, weekending aboard, or even taking a family vacation on the water. They’re more or less like having a mobile home that floats and most are outfitted with everything you need for adventures that last days at a time.

Fish-and-Ski Boats Fish-and-Ski boats are designed to be just what their name infers. They have all the basic accouterments you need to chase those finned critters in the morning, then enjoy water skiing, wakeboarding, and similar watersports in the afternoon.

Most have a layout similar to that of a bowrider, but with the addition of fishy features like livewells, rod holders, and an electric trolling motor, plus tow-sports goodies like a ski-tow pylon and ski lockers. True, some trade-offs must be made in order for a boat to be designed for multipurpose use (that livewell could be a drink cooler on a dedicated watersports boat, and that bow seating might be a casting deck on a boat meant purely for fishing).

But on the whole, the fish-and-ski is perfect for families that want to participate in both activities.

Jet Boats Though the range of available choices is a bit less expansive when it comes to jet boats, and jet propulsion tends to be slightly less efficient than more traditional choices, they have one perk which many family boaters love: there’s no propeller. Propeller injuries are exceedingly uncommon in any case, but the mere thought of doing away with the prop and instead propelling the boat with a powerful jet of water gives many parents invaluable peace of mind. Plus, jet boats have amazing handling, minimal draft, and all the other features and accessories found on runabouts.

Pontoon Boats Pontoon boats are incredibly popular and it’s no wonder why: the stable, comfortable platform they provide is ideal for kicking back and lounging on the water. But don’t think for a moment that today’s pontoons can’t be downright thrilling, too. Many are equipped with potent engines that provide exciting performance and the ability to enjoy watersports, too. And while they may not be as apt at handling large waves as monohull boats, many of the larger pontoons and “tri-toons” (boats with three pontoons, instead of just two) are surprisingly capable in choppy waters.

Sailboats Sailing is, of course, a very different experience than powerboating. Speeds are greatly reduced and operating a sailboat is far more complex than pressing down a throttle and turning a steering wheel. Yet these “drawbacks” are in some ways what makes sailing so appealing—it takes skill and teamwork to sail a boat from your dock to your destination, and every member of the family has his or her role to play.

Plus, modern sailboats are available in all different sizes and comfort levels.

Added bonus: since sailboats don’t require huge, powerful engines, compared to powerboats on a foot-to-foot basis they generally cost significantly less.

Walkarounds For families that enjoy fishing and day cruising yet also want overnighting abilities, walkaround boats can be ideal. They usually have large, open aft cockpits where you can swing a rod or set a trolling spread, but the bow is enclosed and provides both sleeping accommodations and weather protection. And while it’s true that for many types of fishing center consoles may be the most effective design, many angling families with young children—especially those who may go fishing in chilly or rainy conditions—choose walkarounds particularly because of that added protection.

Choosing the Perfect Boat for Your Family In most cases, one of these seven types of boats will prove ideal for you and your water-loving family. Of course, there are other, more highly-specialized boats that you may find tempting.

If bass fishing is your true love, bass boats will be impossible to beat.

Speed demons will naturally gravitate towards high performance boats. And if wakesurfing is your sport of choice then getting a dedicated ski boat/wake boat may be in the future.

But in every case remember one thing: find a boat that makes both you and your loved ones happy, and spending time on the water will draw your family closer together—and that’s one thing that we can guarantee.

Call 727-898-1324 for information or visit www.tampabaysafeboating.com MARINE ENVIRONMENT AND ALCOHOL - CLEARWATER - Most people are not aware of the very real, life threatening dangers associated with consuming alcohol and boating.

Add boating stressors to those usual factors resulting from drinking alcohol, and a truly perilous condition is present. Drinking alcohol produces

www.TheMariner.com

certain physiological responses that directly affect safety and well-being.

Judgement and skills deteriorate, affecting peripheral vision, balance, and ability to process information.

Physical performance and reaction time are reduced. Alcohol reduces depth perception, night vision, focus, and the ability to distinguish colors, especially red and green. Alcohol consumption can result in inner ear disturbance, which can make it impossible for a person suddenly immersed in water to distinguish up from down. Alcohol creates a sense of warmth and may prevent a person in cold water from getting out before hypothermia sets in. The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary offers the acclaimed boating safety course, About Boating Safely. Classes begin the second weekend of every month.

Please contact Leslie Long, Clearwater 11-1 Flotilla Commander at (727) 4698895, auxboatingclass@gmail.com

Captain’sCorner with Captain Sergio Atanes Tampa Bay As I Knew It (Part IV) You have no idea how much fun growing up in Tampa Bay was in the 50’s and 60’s the area had so much to offer when it came to fishing. During the summer months we crabbed and fish at the same time. My uncle Manuel who was my mentor had gathered 12 old broom sticks from the neighbors he would tie a string about 15 feet long and at the end he used a chicken neck wrapped in my aunts old nylon stockings, when the crab would grab the chicken neck the nylon would cling to its claws, we would slowly work the neck towards us and scoop the crab up it was easy and fun.

Some days we could land as many as 4 dozen crabs on a day outing.

The big bridge on the Courtney Causeway always produced good quantity of trout and redfish during the winter fishing from the shoreline.

Coming from a poor family and tackle was a luxury I quickly learned as soon the water turned warm enough to swim in around early May I would snorkel the rocks on both sides of the bridge and find lures and jgs some years as many as 3 dozen Mirr O Lures many in perfect condition or just needing some treble hooks. Why so many Mirr O Lures well back in those days they were the best lure to use and made locally to booth.

Safety Harbor the old power plant no longer there was a hot spot for big trout, redfish, snook and pompano in the

winter months, we would wait till 8:00 p.m. you had to crawl under the fence to fish the channel that feed the hot water into the bay we had to keep a low profile and a eye out for the bright light when the door to the plant opened that meant the guard was coming out to make his run we had lay flat on the ground and wait for him to pass on his jeep once the door closed and we could start fishing again. Sure we got caught a few time but in those days guards knew we just wanted to fish and asked us to leave. There I took my girlfriend on a cold December night to fish with and when she said count me in I knew this was the girl for me we married a few years later and still married after 49 years.

On the Tampa side of Courtney Campbell Causeway there used be one of the best little restaurant called the Mullet Inn great smoked mullet and the best mullet spread I have ever had, just behind it was one of the best small tarpon fishing in late August and early September we would use top water plugs and averaged 10 to 20 tarpon a night if the tide was right.

Anglers fishing with me, out of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, had good action in Sarasota Bay and the coastal gulf recently.

Mike Perez and Denton Kent, from Sarasota, fished a day in Sarasota with me recently. We covered a lot of water in the coastal gulf but only found a few tripletail that day.

Fortunately, Denton caught and released a nice one on a fly. We moved to inside waters and were pleasantly surprised to find some reds and snook in skinny water. They caught and released several reds and a nice snook on CAL jigs with shad tails.

WestSouthwest Central Florida Coast Most of the fishing we did was from shore a boat was a luxury in those days and the only time we fished in a boat it would be out of Tarpon Springs on a party boat which cost about $10.00 for a all day trip.

with Captain Rick Grassett

Fly anglers scored with tripletail, pompano, trout, Spanish mackerel and blues. Spin fishing anglers had some action catching and releasing reds and snook in skinny water and trout, bluefish, pompano and Spanish mackerel on CAL jigs with shad and grub tails.

www.TheMariner.com

Rocky Point was mostly woods and fishing from the shoreline was easy and a fantastic, plenty of redfish and trout around the rocks we called snook soap fish in those days and no one wanted anything to do with them. We would spend hours catching fiddler crabs to fish with although shrimp was only twenty cents a dozen it was a lot money in those days when the average person was making eighty five cents an hour.

I remember Howard The Trader out of Clearwater appeared every Sunday morning TV with his specials, Howard was quite a showman he had barn on the main drag into Clearwater and bought closeouts. One Sunday we went to buy fishing hooks and line he had on sale I remember a box of 100 3/0 hooks from Mustad ten cents and a ¼ pound spool of mono line for only twenty five cents.

Stay turned for another article on Tampa Bay As I Knew it Part V. Good fishing and tight lines!

Southwest Florida Southwest Coast Barney Naylor, from MI, also fished Sarasota Bay with me and had some action catching and releasing pompano, Spanish mackerel and trout on Clouser flies.

Good to see Sarasota Bay continuing to rebound!

Jim Hazlett, from Sarasota, also caught and released a couple of reds on CAL jigs with shad tails on another trip with me.

Marshall Dinerman, from Lido Key and his son, Michael from Atlanta, fished Sarasota Bay with me recently.

They had steady action with trout, Spanish mackerel, blues and pompano on CAL jigs with shad tails.

THE Florida MARINER #896 / 22 December 2019

Fishing shallow flats for catch and release reds and snook should be a good option now. Fishing deep grass flats of Sarasota Bay is a good choice for action with a variety of species including trout, pompano, blues and Spanish mackerel.

Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides fueled by industrial, agricultural and residential runoff, freezes, increasing fishing pressure and habitat loss and degradation, please limit your kill, don’t kill your limit!

Captain’sCorner with Captain Tom Van Horn It’s snowing up in Boston, people are stuck inside, and we’re sitting here drifting the tide.

Every morning as the sun is rising, I take a moment to collect my thoughts. I’m always grateful for the favorable climate nature provides for us in Central Florida. It’s a discipline I’ve learned to enjoy. Just yesterday, I was sitting on the deck of Three Quarter Time watching the sunrise. I was dressed in my winter shorts with my feet in the water, pondering the days fishing adventure.

With clear skies, gentle breezes, and water temperatures still in the upper seventies, which opportunity would I pursue? Is it nearshore, inshore, or fresh water? Decisions!

Decisions! It’s a tough job, but somebody has got to do it.

How would your boat look with a new Evinrude?

Like November, December has been a month filled with outstanding fishing opportunities.

The only difference is the impact of water temperatures on the fishery. Currently, the surf temperature is 77 degrees, and offshore water temperature is 80 degrees.

• Best Warranty in industry • Made in the USA • Direct Fuel Injection Technology • Great deals on non-current models

Inshore Flats - Red Drum and Sea Trout - Both redfish and trout will remain in the skinny water as long as the water temperatures stay in the seventies. Fish in protected areas and sunny spots. Look for fish to be holding in sand spots until the sun gets overhead.

Fresh Water - Good numbers of

Our wintertime fish visitors have arrived in force.

We anticipate the sailfish action to be quite good on the reef, especially with the bumper crop of ballyhoo available for them to feed on. Up and down the reef, chasing sailfish that are spraying ballyhoo is common practice during January for guys in the know.

Near-shore & Inlets - Red Drum - Large redfish were consistent outside Ponce Inlet, Port Canaveral and Sebastian Inlet last month, and they should remain steady through December. At both Ponce and Sebastian, look for these fish working bait on the surface during periods of slack tide, or fish for them off the tip of the north jetties using live bait on the bottom. At Port Canaveral, work the bottom in deeper water just outside the buoy line. These fish will hit artificial baits, but live pinfish, pigfish, and finger mullet are more productive. These are large oversized reds, so handle and release them with care.

Snook - Snook fishing will remain steady in the surf and inlets, with Sebastian Inlet proving to be the better location. It is best to target the inlet fish at night, drifting live pigfish and pinfish through the channel, or fish bucktail jigs or large plugs from the rocks. This type of fishing can be quite challenging due to the number of anglers competing for the same fish, and the amount of impatience and discourtesy expressed.

Spanish Mackerel & Bluefish - Large schools o f bluefish and Spanish mackerel have been present in the surf and outside Port Canaveral and

with Captain Chris Johnson We hope Santa brings you some banging gear because you’ll want it for the new fishing opportunities the new year always brings to the waters off Marathon.

“Where Caring is the Key”

speckled perch (black crappie) are showing up in the upper St Johns River and lakes. Fish structure or slow troll jigs or live minnows near the bottom. Also, American shad will begin to show up on their winter spawning run near the end of the month. Targeting these species on light tackle is always great fun, and something I look forward to every year.

As saifishing is sight-fishing at its finest, a boat with a tower of some sort offers the best vantage for spotting fish. No tower? Try by heading off the reef edge to the 100- to 150-foot depths and putting out a spread of four to six live ballyhoo while drifting a color change, current break or weed line.

The live ballyhoo should attract the sailfish and lure them to your boat.

No sailfish has ever passed up a live ballyhoo in the danger zone.

Among the sails, you may also encounter large blackfin tuna in the 15- to 20-pound class. On occasion, dolphin, wahoo and king mackerel are roaming the same areas.

On the wrecks, expect mutton

Central Florida Sebastian Inlet. Look for bird activity to locate these fish. Fish jigs or spoons fast to avoid cut offs.

Flounder - The Flounder bite is on with good numbers being reported from both Port Canaveral and Sebastian. Anglers are utilizing both jigs and live finger mullet fished on the bottom. My favorite technique is to slow drift, bouncing baits on the bottom.

Tarpon & Kingfish - Large tarpon and kingfish can be found shadowing bait pods along the beach and outside the Sebastian inlets. Either slow troll live baits on kingfish rigs, or drop live baits into schools of bait in deeper water.

This bite should continue as long as water temperatures remain above 74 degrees.

Tripletail & Cobia - Tripletail have started to show up on the Port Canaveral buoy line, and as the water cools the bite should improve.

When water temperatures reach 70 degrees or below, look for cobia on weed-lines, nearshore wrecks, buoys, and other structure.

In closing, I would like to thank all of you who have allowed me the opportunity to serve you this past year, and I look forward to fishing with you again in the new year. As always, if you need information or have questions, please contact me.

Happy holidays and God bless.

snappers and amberjacks. Again, live ballyhoo is your prime bait, but pilchards or pinfish will also work.

pilchards are your baits of choice.

Fish them on a jighead on the bottom for the best results.

On the main reef, the yellowtail snapper action can be hit or miss this time of year, depending on the weather patterns. The more frequent the cold fronts occur, the less likely the yellowtails are to cooperate. Should you luck out with a four- or five-day period of stable weather, drop everything and head straight for your favorite yellowtail spot.

There’s no telling what you may catch when that shrimp hits the bottom.

Snappers, groupers, cobias, porgies, hogfish (which also must be released as that season is closed as well) plus Spanish, cero and king mackerel.

The SeaSquared crews tend to fish for yellowtails in the shallower reef areas in 30 to 50 feet of water.

Standard size blocks of chum are all you need, as a smaller amount of food is required to hold their attention during the winter.

These areas also contain plenty of king and cero mackerel, so fire up your smoker ready. Live ballyhoo or live pilchards will draw their interest.

As a reminder, grouper season closed on January 1. So, ALL grouper must be released unharmed.

You’ll find more consistent snapper action around the humps in Hawk Channel. Fresh s h r i m p and live

In the bayside waters, mangrove snappers and Spanish mackerel on the inshore wrecks and banks.

Further out, you’ll find cobias, Goliath groupers, blacktip sharks and more all responding to your efforts.
