The "Mega Bites" (like the photo) is a 32 ft. Stamas powered by two inboard Yanmar 230 HP turbo diesels and a bow thruster. This popular T top design is a real fishing machine so I've decided to use it like one. I've outfitted this boat with heavy stand-up tackle and harnesses! Experienced (and in shape) anglers only please! Kona waters can produce some VERY large fish so I've spooled up four newly designed Penn 50 VSW two speed reels with 1000 yards of 100 lb. test line. 750 yards of braided Tuff Line topped with 250 yards of Suffix monofiliment and fluorocarbon wind-on leader. Two Penn 30 VSW's are also spooled with 100 lb. test Tuff Line. I also have casting, jigging and light tackle on this vessel. Electronics include fish finder, GPS/chart plotter, radar, VHF and stereo. No more than 3 anglers along with the captain on this ride. It also has a flush toilet in the cabin.
