Canyon Runner Install NJ
When trolling offshore, rough seas and boat roll can take its toll on fishermen. That's why Canyon Runner Sport Fishing recently retrofitted a state-of-the-art Seakeeper Gyro
Stabilization System onboard its 18m Ritchie Howell Custom Carolina Canyon
Runner. With a reputation as the premier charter fishing operation on
the East Coast, the company now offers the most stable fishing platform
available.Over the last 28 years, Canyon Runner has constantly strived to provide the ultimate fishing experience. Supplying the latest in onboard comfort, the innovative Seakeeper Gyro delivers a powerful righting force that
virtually eliminates boat rock and roll at anchor, zero and low speeds, as well
as while underway. Following an extensive sea trial with 1m
to 1.5m swells, Canyon Runner captain Phil Dulanie was quite
impressed. "It works great," said Dulanie. "It
definitely knocked down the boat's roll by 60-70%, both drifting and
trolling.""That's a huge roll reduction," added Canyon Runner owner Adam LaRosa. "It gives our clients a significantly more comfortable fishing platform."Based in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, USA, Canyon Runner has been featured in numerous boating publications and is frequented by a wide range of clients, from sport fishing enthusiasts to
seasoned professionals. Photos from the installation, as well as more
information about the company can be found at www.canyonrunner.com.
The San Francisco Bay and Californian coast can be brutal when fishing and cruising. Ken Alldrim of Medico regularly had to deal with 6-7' swells, as well as constant rocking and rolling on his 62' Mikelson
Nomad Jani Lee. After extensive research into marine
stabilization systems, he chose to retrofit two, state-of-the-art Seakeeper
M7000 Gyros. They were installed by
Mike's Boatworks, a Seakeeper dealer in Alameda,
and the results were amazing."I went with Seakeeper because they offer a quality product and I heard nothing but positive things about them," said Alldrim. Providing unmatched onboard comfort, the Seakeeper
M7000 Gyros deliver a powerful righting force that virtually eliminates boat
rock and roll."During the sea trials, the Seekeeper Gyros were incredible," said Alldrim. "It was like night and day. They really took all the jolt out of the rolls and I'm delighted with how steady they keep my boat. Now my wife and kids will come out with me more
often."Nick Theios of Mikelson Yachts was also onboard during a sea trial. "The Seakeeper system allowed us to comfortably drift in a beam sea with minimal, if any roll," said Theios. "Any boater planning to spend a
significant amount of time a low speed or at anchor should consider this
extremely-effective and virtually-silent system.""The Seakeeper Gyros were tested in all types of seas, including during a small craft advisory, and everyone was impressed with how well they performed,"
said Mike's Boatworks owner Mike Elias.
"They really make a difference onboard the Jani Lee."In business for over 25 years, Mike's Boatworks specializes in stabilizers. The company also does custom jobs and aftermarket retrofit projects, including watermaker, bow thruster and other
equipment installations. More
information can be found at www.mikesboatworks.com."Working with Seakeeper on this install was great," said Elias. "They were very helpful and provided excellent support throughout the entire process."

And it’s a GREEN process too! That’s right, now you can trade your old trailer in (if roadworthy) for a reduction in the price of a new one or we will recycle a trailer that is no longer safe to be on the road making the process a cleaner one as well.
Innovative designs make our trailers safe and simple to use. Non corrosive materials, marine braking systems and L.E.D lighting make BoatTrailerOutlet.com trailers stronger, safer and last longer than most others.
Galvanized and aluminum models are available to fit any type of boat from 8 feet to 38 feet with capacities as high as 18,000 pounds.
Services offered include complete trailer repair, trailer refurbishing and trailer set up, a process where we remove the old trailer from under the boat and install the new one. The trailer is adjusted to fit the boat perfectly, have the correct weight distribution and tongue weight. The process takes about an hour and we can usually complete it on the same day the trailer is purchased.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Frank Longino
PowerCat Group
910-297-2401 flongino@powercatgroup.com
The PowerCat Group names Top Notch Marine dealer for all four of its catamaran brands.
(Tarboro, NC) The PowerCat Group, builders of World Cat, Glacier Bay, Carolina Cat and Livingston catamarans recently named Top Notch Marine of Fort Pierce and Melbourne, Florida as exclusive regional dealers for all of their brands. Top Notch will sell and service the products in both their locations. The PowerCat Group is the world’s largest builder of power catamarans with over 80,000 units built ranging from the 8’ Livingston catamaran skiff to the 34-foot Glacier Bay and 33-foot World Cat models, in both locations.
“We are excited to have Top Notch Marine represent our brands in the Treasure and Space Coast markets,” stated Andrew Brown, president of the PowerCat Group. “Top Notch is a true marketing force because they have delivered value to their customers for almost 25 years. With the addition of our catamaran lines, they have a broad spectrum of catamaran offerings for almost any boating need,” he added.
The PowerCat group is based in Tarboro, North Carolina. The company builds World Cat semi-displacement catamarans from 25-feet to 33-feet designed primarily for offshore fishing. The company also builds displacement-type Glacier Bay catamarans from 26-feet to 34-feet which are primarily cruising catamarans with offshore capability. In fact, a 26-foot Glacier Bay catamaran was the first outboard-powered boat to achieve the New York to Bermuda challenge. Carolina Cat catamarans are a new product line introduced last year. In addition to their 18-foot Carolina Cat, the product line will include a new 22-footer to be introduced at this year’s Miami Boat Show. The Livingston line consists of affordable catamaran skiffs from dingy-sized 8-footers to 19-feet.
Top Notch Marine was founded by Jim Sabia, a Long Island native who graduated from Florida Tech and stayed, founding Top Notch Marine, with the guidance of his father, in 1987. Sabia’s father still works at the business that now has two locations, in Ft. Pierce and Melbourne, covers over 7 acres between the two locations. Both stores have full selections of products and service and warranty centers in addition to accessory shops.
“Focusing on the FUN has always been our primary goal,” said Sabia, “we help our customers experience the joy that boating can provide.”
Top Notch Marine locations are at 2450 US 1 in Ft. Pierce and 6000 North US 1 in Melbourne.

Gulf Oil Spill Trial delayed by federal judge
NEW ORLEANS, LA – February 26, 2012 – In a joint statement released by BP
and the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee – “BP and the Plaintiffsʼ Steering
Committee (PSC) confirmed that the U.S. District Court has today adjourned the
start of the Deepwater Horizon Multi-District Litigation 2179 civil trial by one
week, until Monday, March 5th. This adjournment is intended to allow BP and
the PSC more time to continue settlement discussions and attempt to reach an
agreement. BP and the PSC are working to reach agreement to fairly
compensate people and businesses affected by the Deepwater Horizon accident
and oil spill. There can be no assurance that these discussions will lead to a
settlement agreement. A further announcement will be made as appropriate.”
This one week delay allows further settlement talks between BP and the
Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee (PSC) who represent marine dealers, marine
manufacturers, seafood industries, fisherman, property owners and others who
state their livelihoods were severely damaged by the April 20, 2010 explosion of
the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and subsequent oil spill. If an agreement could
be reached, a quicker resolution resulting in a settlement to injured parties may
be forthcoming.
