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?

but maybe it will be easier to buy something similar in a few years. |

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:

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 !!!

Looks similar to a RoMarine Hull; wet and pound for sure, but a great work boat...

Isn't there a Ocean Scout 23' center console for sale at quaker lane? I think so. It has been there all summer long. Probably could get a good deal on it, but perhaps it has problems, which is why it is there. If you are interested in this brand it is worth a stop by anyway.
Looks like a nice center console.

Zac,
Those are some nice rigs, I should hire you as my agent and help me find a boat!
Actually, we are looking at an Osprey. There is a 28 with a single diesel and a new model this year 30' with twins. I hope to see one at the Boston show. I don't want an engine box in my cockpit esp against the transom. I know the 28 and 30 have a clear deck. Also I keep looking at the mirage 32. What do you have in a 48' trawler? (wifes first choise)
If I had the cash I would just get a Predator. I love the way that boat moves.

That Pursuit is pretty much my dream boat, so to speak, except for that fact that it's OBs. A Rampage wouldn't be too shabby either. Perhaps an early nineties Wellcraft Coastal 28.I WILL get a new boat this offseason if everything goes according to plan (but does it ever?).

I had a 33 egg, nice comfortable boat but slow and a bit of a gas hog.
I went smaller now time to move back up a bit.
Zac,
Nice but I think I have to cap my fishing boat price at about 100-150K tops. Not 1.5 mil. If you have a mil to blow you can get a awesome rig. I dream about them all the time too...
oooh, its low tide here...gotta run and get my weekly scallop limit...bye |

I wouldn't want anything requiring a "crew" to operate. Give me Blackwatch or 30 something Bertie or Carolina Classic or maybe even a JC for the "big boat", a bracketed 23 SC for bassin & tuna, 1 20 SC for the bay and inshore, and a 16' Quintrex for rock hopping - that would round out a "Four Boat Theory ©" for me |
