Jim ya must be nuts :bshake: ya all over the place .,><><

If you are considering these or any other displacement Hull I suggest you become a member of the Downeastboatforum.
Tons of knowledgeable guys on there & it’s a great forum.
Just don’t ask about center consoles and don’t bring the political forum with you.

A downeast hull with outboards is the most ideal setup imo, if you want to charter.

hey i’m looking! i want to make the right choice and consider my options.

thinking…

23 north coast
23 pacific skiff welded aluminum
24 privateer
25 c-hawk
24 judge

and a few of the downeasts
22 general marine
23 crowley
22 lowell brothers
25 weber’s ( coombs) cove
25 northern bay

i am very drawn to the smaller downeasts, outboard or diesel doesn’t much matter. no chartering, just recreational fishing ( light tackle casting, bottom fishing for sea bass and tog), something i can take out for lunch with the missus, a brick sh*thouse workboat that i can get bloody and power wash and will
last so my kids can have it when i’m gone. could care less about finish and bells and whistles. maybe something i can manage a few lobster pots with if i’m
in new england, a few crab pots if i’m further south.

That sounds like a great plan Jim!

it’s the dream! It might not be realistic, but it’s fun to start doing the research. there are some really nice hills out there. insanely expensive though.

I have looked there, tons of info. But I know some guys here like you, also have a lot of knowledge that could be really useful. Thanks.

I'm only buying one more boat, I want to get it right.
