How nice it is that we, Pro-Line Owners, now have a site to call home. Thanks to those that took the initiative to get this up and running.

I currently own 2 Pro-Lines. I bought a 251 walk-around new in January '98. It is powered by a 5.7 VP duo-prop. Originally it had the 7.4, which broke down hard at about 1500 hours. I am nearing 3000 hours of running time on the hull. No issues with the hull, stringers, or fuel system. Grin The only major modification to it has been the removal of the bimini top and enclosure and replaced with a custom Pacific Yacht Towers hardtop and Stamoid enclosure. I fish it mainly in the San Francisco Bay and coastal waters with the summer Albacore trip offshore when conditions are right. I have trailered it to Southern Baja twice to fish the Cortez' waters out of beautiful La Paz.

So, after the second Baja trip of over 3000 miles, my lovely wife says to me, "Why don't you just buy another boat and leave it down there!!!?Huh?" Oh! How I love her so! Kiss With this in mind, I purchased a used '06 24 Super Sport last September. It has the 225 Suzuki 4S for power and the hardtop w/ electonics box. I have just over 100 hours of running it. I am very happy with it. A good combination of hard-core fishablity yet accomodates my wife and 3 small children for the family snorkling outings.

I am looking forward to sharing info and stories with other happy owners!

Warren,
2 great boats that you have, not to mention a wonderful admiral!  You wouldn't happen to be WT on Continuous Wave, would you?

Sorry Warren,
Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers (as exhibited by the !!!).  But you absolutely have a wonderful admiral!  You should kiss her right now!   Grin
