Boat show issue- I am in trouble!
I fell in love w/ a new boat. She is all I can think about. Her name is Pilot24, builder is HolbyMarine.com. She is a bass boat classic made w/ modern tech. 25kts burns 6gph w/Volvo Diesel. Made in Bristol, RI.
Anyone have any feedback on the boat? Know any local owners?

Parker... Dam you!! I've spent my entire morning trying to figure out how one of those can become one of mine! That thing is a beauty, what a classic. I love, love the stearn. I just called the company for a brochure. I think the 20 is pretty nice to. You have successfully added yet another thing to my long long wish list that my salary is way to far behind on.
Great boat!

No never seen or heard of it. I'll have to check her out.
I picked my boat up from Dons Marine this morning and saw Parkers new 25 walk around. Awesome looking boat.

You'll be needing some deep pockets for the Pilot. Very nice boat, but lots of $$ comparatively.

Depending on how may guys you have on board, the doghouse makes a goos spot for gear, cleaning fish etc.

I am still in love
This boat is very very cool. $140k for a boat that will last a lifetime. I am a sucker for cuttyhunk bass boats. I fished as a mate for several summers on a 28ft Brownell. Solid platform with beautiful lines. Many days sitting in a nasty rips like wasque, 2 hours into the tide. I like having aft controls, so when the stuff hits the fan, you don't have to run to the helm to get out of danger. I am testing an Albermarle 26 on Saturday and am waiting to hear back from the folks at Holby.
I hate boat shows. I have a very bad disease. I am a sailor at heart, however, I love fishing for Bass.I fish in the morning and sail in the afternoon every weekend from May-October. Then strickly fishing into December.
I dream about fishing, waking up as I set the hook. I need help. Maybe an intervention and a 12 step program.\

I could think of a couple appologies for that part that I could give to my girlfriend for all the times I've said I'll be back around noon and then found the fish at 11:30...  |

Just find a doweast boat used for short money. BHM, JC, OSMAND, Genral Marine. If you look in the right places, you will find alot more boat, for alot less money. 140k for a 24??? That is just insane.

Yeah, I think I must have been stoned. Very nice boat, however, big bucks for a small boat. I love my Parker23SE, got my b--ass--- kicked yesterday at Beavertail, very large water. I would have liked some protection from the elements.
Going to the Boston show next week. Who knows, what will happen.
