"The Madelisa"


The Madelisa is a 20ft Tolman and was launched in July of 1995.  I originally powered her with a 90HP Johnson 2 stroke but I burned up a piston down in Baja in 2002.  I replaced the motor in 2003 with a Johnzuki 115HP 4 stroke and what a difference in fuel mileage.

This is a great little boat that handles the ocean really well.  She will eventually be stored down in Baja where the water and weather is perfect for a center console.  This boat really catches fish-in fact my friends refer to her as "The Lucky Boat".
