Capt'n Tom's Pocket Logo
(I'm off the cigarettes two years in March)

Capt'n Tom's vessel... "Miss Betty"

Another view... Ain't she pretty?

About my boat

To look at her you might think she is a $200,000 or more yacht but such is not the case. I am not a rich man and could not afford something like that. What you are looking at here is a 38 foot wooden sportfisher made by Post Yachts of Mays Landing, New Jersey. In the world of boating, Post Yachts are very well respected and admired. She was built by hand in the old traditional way in 1969 BF, (before fiberglass). Her hull is carvel planked with a local Northeast American wood, White Cedar, which is impervious to rot and is as good today as when it was fastened over 35 years ago. When I bought her, I saved her from the saws-all and the dumpster. I spent four years restoring this beautiful classic of a boat. I added 100 gallons of epoxy to her hull including inside the hull below the waterline. She runs on her original two Ford 427CI (side oiler) gasoline racing engines which in their day were winning races at LeMans powering the Shelby Cobra sports car. These engines were also the power source for the Shelby Mustang. Both of these Shelby vehicles and the engines that powered them are valued collectors items today although some might argue that, due to the price of fuel these days, the engines might be better used as anchors. When cruising wide open, she'll burn 25 gallons per hour/per engine. Most of the time I'm just trolling at about 2 knots which is much better economically.

Way to go Ron!!!
My buddy Ron with a nice Rockfish he caught while we were fishing awhile back... Way to go Ron!!!... Most people call 'em Stripers. We call 'em Rock here on the Chesapeake Bay.

CAPT'N TOM'S ARTWORKS

"Offishial Website!"

My name is Capt'n Tom Ruley. I am a private fishing yacht skipper. I am not a U.S. Coast Guard licensed charter or commercial fishing captain. I was never a military Captain either. Because of my lifelong enthusiasm for fishing and boating, and because I used to wear a nautical captain's hat all the time, people have been calling me Capt'n Tom for nearly twenty years.

I do not mean any disrespect to anyone who holds or has held the title of Captain. The book "Chapman's Piloting, Seamanship and Boat Handling", which is considered an authority on private boating, defines "Captain" as "one who pilots a vessel" and by that description I qualify.

If you ever find yourself in my part of the world, give me a call and we'll go fishing.


Here is what I look like lately... Pretty bad huh?

Here on my website, you get to check out my fishing and boating related T-Shirt designs. To see them all, scroll down on the left sidebar.

I have recently made some changes here on my site... I no longer sell my T-Shirts at retail... Wholesale only... Sorry

I do however... have a Giant Bluefin Tuna Head Mount for sale... check it out!

In 2004, I wrote a book titled, "The Chesapeake Bay Fishing Guide for Beginners". It's primarily a kid's book but adults who could use some pointers will also enjoy it. It includes fishing tips and techniques that are good anywhere. It is desktop published and available for $19.95. There is also a link on the sidebar.

More recently, I founded a national nonprofit organization to do good things for our military troops and their families, NROTC, there is also a link on the sidebar.

Here on my site there are many other subjects of interest to fishermen and boaters here INCLUDING FUNNY FISHING STORIES AND HUNDREDS OF FISHING AND BOATING LINKS... just keep scrolling down on the sidebar.

I hope you enjoy my website!

I AM LOOKING FOR T-SHIRT SALES REPS IN YOUR AREA...
Interested?... EMAIL ME

Additional notes for wholesale shoppers:

Purchase at WHOLESALE, with a minimum order of only 24 T-Shirts, (24 per design/split sizes any way you like)

CAPT'N TOM'S ARTWORKS specializes in designing or reproducing AND printing YOUR CUSTOM POCKET LOGO on your T-Shirts.

Most of my customers are Bait & Tackle Shops, Marinas, Fishing Resorts and Camps, Boat Suppliers and Dealers, Charter Boat Captains, Fishing Guides, Fishing Clubs, Yacht Clubs and private boat owners who like having my designs on the back and the name of their boat on the front pocket.

My customers like having their CUSTOM LOGO because when people walk around wearing their T-Shirts, it's like having them walk around with a BUSINESS CARD PINNED ON THEIR CHEST!... In fact, I have many customers who GIVE AWAY T-SHIRTS to their favorite customers or sell them for a break even or just a modest profit because of the "ADVERTISING VALUE!" I only mention this here because if you are considering a wholesale purchase, this is a point worth considering.

If you ARE considering a wholesale purchase and need of a logo for your business, club or organization, especially if it is fishing or boating related, chances are VERY GOOD that Capt'n Tom's Artworks has something for you.
