FYI John...
I got on a new Surf Hunter the other day for a ride...
All I can say is WOW!
They're a bit heavier (don't ask) than the wood Hunters... but its definitely everything that the classic was and MORE...
You can talk about a dozen different center console and boats with houses or walkarounds etc.
But they'll NEVER match up to a real Buzzards Bay bass boat..
Very dry, nice low stern, dosen't take too much water backing down hard (which has always been a concern of mine after an incident a few years ago), very shallow draft, would definitely go with a jet drive or IO with one (jet drive being wonderful up in the Cuttyhunk boulders), just a very pretty, clean boat.
Cheers
Ted
