Hey, my name is Jim Smith, so is my fathers and my son, but god damn aint a one of us that pretty. Nice boat.

RIJIMMY · 10-19-2006, 10:41 AM

just some useless info, Jim SMith is the most populr name in the US. I think there is some club you can join...sorry to derail #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&.

23, to big I dont want to break 20 feet...still easy to trailer and to get in tight...But my boat has treated me well so if it doesnt happen right away no big deal

I have a 23 foot boat. I fish in some "tight" places where kayakers look at me kind of funny.

Pete_G · 10-20-2006, 07:52 AM

I wouldn't be afraid of a bigger boat in the rocks either. I fished out of a 24 foot deep V in the rocks a lot this year. I was more then a little gun shy at first but I eventually settled into all the pocket water I used to fish with a smaller boat. Still, a 21 would probably be more appropriate for scooting amongst the rocks.

In any case be afraid of the fuel docks, not the rocks, as the boat gets bigger...

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, look at a deeper V as well as a bigger boat if pounding through the Bay is a big concern.

i agree with pete. we fish buzzards bay in a regulator 23 and poke in as tight as i have ever seen anyone else, even the kayaks.

He is looking to sell the boat if you are interested. boat & motors are '95, but he is the most anal person you have ever met and the boat and motors are very very solid. Boat is on dry land in mattapoiset, but can be splashed at any time for a ride.

slapshot · 10-20-2006, 02:12 PM

How much is looking to get for that Regulator?

zacs · 10-20-2006, 02:38 PM

I think around $35K.
It is mint.
New raymarine electronics in 2004.
Flyfishing edition. all popup cleats, no exposed hardware, no t-top.
In that picture he still has the cover on the l/p. Console cover and leaning post cover all ways put on. This guy is super anal so the boat is extra clean, and his father works at a Yamaha shop so you know the engines are in fine shape. Twin 150hp saltwater series.

i have a 23' seafox center console and have no problem getting in close............
its the gas that is a killer

Fishpart · 10-21-2006, 09:29 AM

Dude, you don't need a bigger boat, you need the right boat........

parker23 · 10-21-2006, 11:12 AM

I fish very close to the terra ferma. I have a couple bumps and bruises on the bottom and have to replace a prop every 200 hours or so, 2 props in 3 seasons. Actually, last Sunday at 6amyou heard me hit the rocks on the north side of the island. I need some welding done on my motor from that bump.

striperman36 · 10-21-2006, 02:16 PM

The maritime rolls right up on the rocks, I am getting a electric motor this winter
