Re: New member - looking to buy a 24' plate boat

Winninghoff is just about done tacking the boat up and installing the jet drive. I will be doing the production welding and install of motor and electronics. I should be picking up the hull in a week or so. I don't plan on being out on the ocean when it's rough. Just looking to do a little bluefish ...

Re: New member - looking to buy a 24' plate boat

Finally pulled the trigger and bought a Winninghoff with Jack's Hamilton jet drive he was trying to get rid of. They are going to partially build the boat for me and I will install the motor, build the console and a bunch of other stuff. Thanks for the advice guys. I will post some pics as the proje...

Re: New member - looking to buy a 24' plate boat

I will call Viking tomorrow. They are sort of on the way between my place and Winninghoff. Maybe I can get down there in a week or so to chat with them. If any other builders are in that area that I should be talking with let me know. Meanwhile, I will keep an eye on the classifieds. I would like to...

Re: New member - looking to buy a 24' plate boat
