I am biased...and love my boat!

That big boaTing/wHinning/complaining/fighTing website was like a bad party full of drunk teenagers with silly string. Smart people know when it is time to leave.

One of the things I love about my Pacific 2325...

... I love how the boat handles at slow speeds. This is the easiest single engine boat to dock that I have ever owned. Even in 20mph winds, the manuverability of this boat is fantastic. The boat does catch the wind, but the way it handles makes up for that. I was out on a harbor cruise last week and...

I didn't get to fish yesterday :( My boat is in for routine engine service and is also getting a few new things installed.

TW may be closed on Mondays, but I may be wrong...call and check with them before you go down.

Calstabi, If the water is not circulating with fresh, the amonia and lack of O2 will kill them pretty fast. Do you have room for a bag off the transome? Cheap alternative for day trips and keeps all plumbing out of the boat. Also Kenny at Tradewinds has a guy that does beautiful f-glass tanks. I wou...

I think that there will be lot's of fish. Aquatic populations always seem to make amazing comebacks after just a couple of years of being left alone. $10 gas should thin out the crowds of sport fishermen. And will keep much of the commercial fleet (who have been feeding us for generations) at the do...

WSB or White Sea bass.
I have not taken my new boat to the island yet (Catalina - 20+ miles out) ...but they were catching these big fish last weekend...lots of 'em. Fishing for them is hit and miss. But I will do my best to post a couple this year.

Welcome FishAK,

They look like great boats. On first glance at their site, I didn't see any details on alloy type or thickness used in the build.

That sport walkaround is an awesome design. And love those Freeman deck hatches.

Hi Matt,

I don't know for sure, but with a boat that light the bracket might bring up the bow more than you want. We have a few Bayrunner owners here, I am sure that they will offer some more educated thoughts soon.

I do...but my bilge is wide open (no foam) and has a big 1" drain plug in the transom. I hose it down like everything else. A little "Salt-Away" then rinse with clean water.
