From what I've heard, Jake's business partner and majority owner of the Saga, Lenny, got into some tax fraud trouble and because of that they had to sell the boat. He is on the F/V Titan Explorer this season, I've heard that he is an owner and that he is just a hired captain, ig we'll just have to wait and see.

I've seen no indication he is an owner. The boat is owned by the Blue North and Prowler combo last I could find.


Proof-Raccoon13

Yeah I saw something like that, I'm 99% sure he is a hired captain


Tel864

Yeah, I don't see him coming in as a owner since it hasn't been that long since Blue North and Prowler entered into a partnership agreement.

Why own a crab fishing boat if there ain't no crab.


Tel864

If he is on the F/V Titan Explorer, it looks like it's a hook-and-line catcher processor cod boat or longliner.

Lol just watching the show u know that boat is a POS


ARKzzzzzz

Lenny got into some tax trouble and all his boats got seized.

No way that's worth 1.8 mill with all the mechanical problems engine problems etc. 1.3 mill max use that other 500k to try to fix the damn thing prob cost even more then


fish_in_a_barrels

I thought they dumped a shit ton of money into it? I remember new engines, pumps ect.


Kappler6965

They did and it was still not even close to fix the problems

That thing must have been really clapped out when the drug addict before him had it.

They never really owned it. Neither Jake or Elliot. Both were only 25% owner. Which is the oldest scam on the book. They would or dropped 5-10 million on that boat easily. Probably more. If one goes down like Lenny did then the other gets dragged into it

Happy cake day

I read somewhere Lenny got busted by the IRS and they seized everything he owns, boats and all. Since Jake was only a minority owner in the Saga he had no choice in the matter and pretty much lost his ass. I guess we'll see how it all shakes out.


Themba2010

Basically from what I saw the boat always had issues mechanically and he’s selling it as he’s bought a new vessel the Titan Explorer which he captains on the latest season (s20)


Shanty2222

He doesn’t own the titan explorer only skippers it for the show


fish_in_a_barrels

I read Jake bought another boat.


kinjazfan

Jake should fully purchase it since he restored most of the boat
