I have to say I was a bit bummed at the lack of small skiff's and 23 foot and under fishing platforms. Sure they ahd some higher end stuff but I guess the Industry is betting that only those willign to spend over 100K are left in the market this year.
We were soft shopping for somehting from a skiff to a 20' CC and I wasn't impressed by much at all. No tin boats that I would describe as fishing boats for salt water. I missed G&R Marine!!!!! No Lund Dealer. Eagle & Pike teamed up and had a couple tricked out Carolina's.
The best skiff I saw that has stuck in my head was a Triumph 17' Skiff that is very interesting. A friend almost bought one a few years ago but this current model is huuuuuuuggggeeeee for a 17 foot boat. Three people could easily cast off it without a problem. Did anyone see this and what do people think???? Oh yeah, it is cheeeeaaaappppp!!!!!!
