I saw one of those on the water a little while back...it looked huge as it sits so tall. I want one also! 300K seems like a fair deal for anyone who is in that kind of budget range.

I figured he was using it himself . Man, could you see the EYES of those folks along a typical marina dock on the Gulf or around Florida? They'd think they were under invasion by the Cubans or somehting.
Imposing it is as us inlanders don't see boats unless we travel, not any kind like that and likely never would see one of those unless I visited the PNW or ventured to NZ or Australia. This is what caught my eye:I saw one of those on the water a little while back...it looked huge as it sits so tall.

*250 engine hours. On a '06 build??? Forty-one and six tenths' hours average per annum....and I'd wager that the engines have not seen sufficient continuous operation to even achieve anywhere near their design capabilities. Essentially new.
*$295k is quite honestly <40% of the new cost from what I can gather as this one should fetch $725k-ish today as equipped.
A real fishing death from above boat is this one yowser!
You could literally square dance there is so much room:
This pic suggests that the builder may have gotten stuck with this one and takes it out occasionally just to keep the engines oiled:
Only thing I've seen which cats don't do a great job of is sleeping quarter design and the pics of the berths is a tad claustrophobic for such a large craft imo.
Ten years ago I'd be on my way to SEATAC for a close-up and personal. Today my priorities are totally different as Life has that way of reminding us that we ain't running the show.

Ain't that the truth!

Re: I guess I wasn't good enough for Santa...
-can ya jus' imagine the size and goofiness of the trailer that thang has to sit on.....whewwwww!
I'm not a cabin guy, but why is there "wood and formica" inside a boats cabin.
Why not aluminum, some paint and rhino lining! Especially on die hard fishing crafts. Thing that jus make me say, "hmmm".
I have to say I saw a bed liner job from the factory on a brand new Dodge truck today that had me freakin out, it was so sweet. Every aspect of it was absolutely perfect. Couldn't find a single flaw
..."what that has to do with interiors of a boat with a fort, I haven't a clue."
Just thinkin', thats all.

The "wood" interior got me wondering also. Isn't that like "Bad Mojo" or something, Puting wood in an aluminum boat.JETTYWOLF wrote:- I'm not a cabin guy, but why is there "wood and formica" inside a boats cabin.

Re: I guess I wasn't good enough for Santa...
Yea buddy! These single guys call any and all shots so they cannot relate to dealing with the ever intriguing and always beguiling feminine pov. My Wife will not compromise on creature comforts and given free hand, she would need but a day to decide what she would need to suit her and a King Size Master with private facilities r at the top o de list. I do all the cooking and she handles everything else but boat stuff, so long as she gets to co-captain. What a deal!S L Dave wrote:Sabs28 wrote:The "wood" interior got me wondering also.
