Pro-Line 3250 Express?

[Bruce03]

I haven't seen anything from Pro-Line 3250 owners.  Am I the only one?  Would like to hear from others and share.

Hello Bruce and Welcome!  NO, I do not own a Pro Line 3250 Express.  However, love the boat.
Please tell us all about yours?  Got photos?
Again, Welcome Aboard Pro Line Boat Owners Community.  Thanks.

Pictures coming up!  I just bought it and so far it's in drydock having mechanical work ($$$) done but soon it will be 6" waves, $2 gas, several 50 lb. stripers in my ice chest, and nothing else that needs to be be done on the boat!  We plan to do fishing and cruising on the Chesapeake Bay.  Any fishermen (or women) out there with fishing hotspots to share?  Rigging tips?  Merc 7.4 B3 owners?  Very open to advice!

Hi Bruce.  $2 gas?    6" waves in the Cheaspeake Bay?  Look forward to seeing your photos and reading your catching trip reports.    "Rigging tips?"  Bruce, could you please be a little more specific.  Thanks

[Bruce03]

By "rigging tips", I mean how to rig my lines.  I have assorted rods with 8-50 lb. test, have a bunch of salmon rigs left over from when I lived in SF, a small fortune in assorted hooks, leaders, flashers, spreaders, etc.  and don't know how what works for the Chesapeake Bay.  I do have some charter boats in the slips near me but not sure if they will share or not.  In CA, we used downriggers to get down to where the salmon were, staggering lines 5 or 10 feet vertical and also the length.  Haven't seen downriggers over here yet. 

I missed the Trophy Season.  Is there another one in the fall?  NY, NJ folks seem to be talking about stripers then, and that might mean they migrate down south right into my cooler...

Some good news... the mechanic sawed the rusted rod on the steering off and managed to get the "E-clip" out (also frozen), all while working with 6" access.  Stern drives coming soon, I'll paint, and after servicing engines, it's time to float!  Maybe this weekend.  Pics on the way!

Hi Bruce.  My experience with Charter Boat Captains sharing boating/fishing information has been excellent!  Can't hurt to ask a question.

It's been some time since i wrote... We got the boat in the water around June and then it's been busy time ever since.  Got all (or most, anyway) bugs out and have a long list of improvements that will take me into 2013 easy. 

After 4 or 5 straight weekends on the boat, we took last weekend off for a breather and wouldn't know you, the stripers arrived!  We have one last weekend before they pull the boat on Monday.  Will sort out pics and post them for you guys.  Hopefully, will have a 40" striper to show like some guy in our marina got last weekend.
