Going to look at the Dixie II in Orleans...31 BHM...any you guys know the boat?
S.B.S, That could be a great asset being that he had so much knowledge .....i know i wished on many a day i had some extra help on my sideJohnny Woods (RIP) owned the Dixie II and he fished out of P town for many years. He kept a nice boat. Tuna,groundfish and charters. Nice boat, but he may still be on it.
Engine : 2002 Cat 3126
Tran : Twin Disc 506-1
Reduction 2.5:1
Wheel 26"x25"
2" Stainless Shaft
This is what it has for gearing and wheel...I believe it has the right set up...if he was trolling/harpooning most of the hours must have been at low RPM's correct?
went down to see her saturday..very nice boat..It going to need some TLC which im sure Mr. Woods would have kept up with..But overall you could tell in its operational days it was a beautifull boat and still has the potential to be a beautiful boat. Looks like we are going to try and purchase..hopefully everything goes smoothly.
The 3126 actually had less hours then expected...5400.
