The “Manolin”

2024 Pair Customs 24 Deep V - Custom Built for Capt. Chris!

The Beast of the East

The Beast of the East! Manolin is a 2024 24 ft Center Console custom built to Capt. Chris specs by Pair Marine in Washington, NC.

Captain Chris’s pride and joy, “Manolin” is a semi-custom built 24 ft Center Console made Pair Customs in Washington, NC. In our opinion, it is the perfect boat to fish our home waters surrounding the Merrimack River. She offers a fast (top speed of 45 mph, cruise at 32 mph), dry, and extremely comfortable ride. The deck space and lay out, along with engine bracket, gives anglers more room than any boat in its class. Her sharp bow entry eats through the chop, but then tapers to a shallow deadrise providing unmatched stability when drifting or on anchor. Outfitted with 2 large livewells, 32 rod holders, tackle storage, dry storage, 4 below deck fish boxes, a YETI cooler, and plenty of seating, she is designed to be fished hard without sacrificing comfort. She is also outfitted with the proper safety equipment and first aid kits, should an emergency arise. Manolin is also fashioned with a tower and second station to get a bird’s eye view to help find more fish!

For electronics, we have state of the art Humminbird products. With dual 16” Apex MEGA SI/DI fish finder units, we have a distinct advantage of seeing fish not only under our boat in full Chirp Sonar, but also 200 ft in each direction out to the sides. It is practically unfair to the fish! The Humminbird RADAR is for safety when leaving the harbor before the sun comes up or when a thick fog bank rolls in. The Raymarine Auto Pilot gets us to our spot more efficiently. For fishing, nothing can describe how important the Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor has been for Manolin. Come check it out for yourself!

Boomer

Parker 25SE

For 2022, Capt. Mike has moved up to a larger boat, however “Tank” may be a more accurate description. The Parker 25SE is a big boat with a wide 9’6 beam and a flat deck for 360 degree fishability. Powered by a Suzuki 300, she sips fuel and provides an extremely stable fishing platform. Whether you are charter fishing for stripers in the Merrimack River or offshore for sharks and tuna, you will find the Boomer exceeds all your expectations of a charter boat in MA. We are now able to accommodate groups of six anglers!
