Just found this site. Very nice! Nothing to say, just testing the forum.

Welcome BAMA Whalers. You have a great State for boating. Orange Beach area is a lot of fun, Perdido Sound etc.
I plan on a RV trip to "LA" and bringing my Montauk for some great sight seeing. Last trip was a little cool for boat but area was super.
NOTE: LA is "Lower Alabama" for you folks from up North

Sssshhhhhh. Don't tell anybody how nice it is down here. They'll all want to stay once they visit.

:-) You said a mouthful! The population of Baldwin County has doubled in the last 10 years or so. Life is good down here....

Welcome as well! I lived in that neighborhood for about 10 years in Perdidio Key area. Beautiful beaches and water. I was not converted then as i was a blow boat guy with a 27' stilletto. Used to do the annual Dolphin Island race out of the Mobile Y Club.
Now that i've seen the light, own a 22 Outrage.

agreed Mojack, but the fevers deep. I actually have two, an 87 and 88. Working on both, and plan on upgrading to a 80's vintage 25 outrage with Whaler drive and twins. Been doing the offshore fishing thing and need a tad bigger boat and twin motors. You have one in your area that has been for sale a while, Big C's i believe is the name. Wants to much and it doesn't have Whaler drive.

Why whaler drive? I've always heard nothing but negatives about that option.

Lower Alabama, Is that he same as the Redneck Riviera, or is that different from the Florida Panhandle coast.

Hi Binkie,
The RR is pretty much from coastal Mississippi to Port St Joe. Funny tagline :-)

I'll tell you in the last 35 years the RR has really changed from a lazy beach resort to a hot spot. Orange Beach, Perdido Key, Destin and a new International Airport coming to Panama City Beach.
The old RR will be the new International South Beach and will see folks visiting from the "Real Riviera" spending money and enjoying the emerald waters.

I tell you, the last thing we need along the coast is more condos. Call me old-fashioned but I LIKE the sleepy areas of the coast. With development comes pollution among other negatives....

AND traffic! I'm with you, mojack. How about a little "beachview" roadway instead of staring at the backside of a line of condos. Whoever convinced the planning/zoning board years ago that this was a good development concept could sell ketchup popsicles to a lady in white gloves.

New one on me mojack. I'm sure it makes it a little more difficult to fish around, but the tradeoff is (at least in my opinion) great additional storage in the stern, and i really like the looks. You can also put a few more horses on as well.
