I was looking at that boat..... I guess it's off the market. Did it have a trailer?

no trailer, those are pricey! but oh well....

on the seatrial, 25kts cruise at 12 GPH total, and topped out around 28-9 kts. its no speed demon but it's way faster than I'm used to.

I'd like to get in at least one to two trips for some jigging. FF r u in?

I think that boat is on the dock next to mine. I checked her out several times. Very nice boat, I bet she rides nice in the snot. Must have very low hours, it was always in the slip.
Good luck!

Thats a beauty you got there. How much water does she draw?

Do the cats bottom out when it gets really snotty?

well, the swells outside the harbor were a good 4' and 25 kts was nothing. the swells were spread out though, not real tight. No hull slap yet. 11" draft.

Nice boat. I went out on a World Cat 230 a few months ago powered by a pair of F150s what a fantastic fishing platform.

Thats not bad at all... I'm impressed. I bet docking is simple with two motors so far apart.

yeah its pretty easy, but I can't quite get it to go sideways yet. more practice i guess.
went out today, lots of 3'ers with some 5-6ers and 20kts is fast enough to launch the boat out of the water, no hull slap with a reasonable soft landing.
