Anyone thinking about new boats for next season?
I am. Well, I am always dreaming about boats but I will start looking this winter at a few. I may or may not pull the trigger depending on what I find. Need to narrow down the choices and find a great deal.
Are you considering a new/different boat in your future for 06? If so what kind?

Might make a ride a little bumpier but you save some fuel. |

i closed on my new to me boat the last week of october.
the broker told me when they pulled it for the survey i should just have them set it up for winter storage right then.
what does he know? i bought the boat with 135 hrs on the motors, with a carefully timed vacation i managed to put over 30 more hrs on it before i had to put it away for the winter.
by buying right before winter was able to get a great deal. buyer's market right now...
here's the new ride:
and here's the old one....still for sale:

if you mean the panga 20, it would go with a 50 hp. but I'd put a 60-70 hp on it.
beam is 6'-1" |

I'm always looking (though no plans to buy for the forseeable future). To feed my addiction - Scout just sent their latest newsletter - showcasing 4 new models - Also next year they're introducing a 35 Abaco (walkaround). As far as a wish list - I'd say the 260SF 260SF with twins looks pretty sweet.
Also - Congrats to Scott at Viking - Top 5 CSI (I think that's customer satisfaction) Dealer of the year! |

Yeh - Scott is the real deal. He was blessed with boat and engine skills, not typing skills, otherwise he would likely particpate here more  (he is a sponsor, and a decent fellow as well).
Me, I'm just looking to get mine done.... |

Jonny --a ton of digger,s have them // I don,t see alot of them setup for straight fishing //because unless they changed there hull design ,with the low sides , Its a wet boat /// & pounds// it all depends on what & where your planning to fish ....

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!

it's kinda weird...like a center console/walkaround/express...
gives up cabin space compared to the newer layout in exchange for more space on the bridgedeck area. for what we do it was perfect.
