29' everglades pilothouse...has anyone seen one?

[Mr. Sandman]

This looks sweet. I need to see one up close.

Myself and Gb where all over it at the boston's on the water boat show, it sure stood out from the rest with all the lastest gadgets, I mean that machine was pimp all the way around and you should have the seen the broad showing us the boat, she was smokin. The builder parted from Boston whaler, them dude's have won several awards, it definently stands out.

That was my Daughter.... just kidding...awesome boat and the Help at Southport wins the Best Of Show award!

[Mr. Sandman]

That is what good boats cost like that. A regulator or contender new is in the same price league same with a whaler. There are a couple of lightly used ones for sale in the 115 range.
The fact that it is unsinkable and rigged like that is pretty sweet. It does have a little of the whaler look to it.
As far as the hot girls go they must have something to do with Gaff magazine. I noticed a nice review in that magazine and it is loaded with hot women fishing.check out http://www.gaffmag.net/

For 140k the smokin' broad better accompany the damn boat.

Saw one last year at the NE Boat show. Really stood out from the rest. Designer was a BW guy then Edgewater. Top notch design, construction, fit & finish. My only problem is that it is so loaded with gadgets it seems a bit tight for a boat of its size.

Looked at them again at the Prov. show and we are going for a ride in the 29' in a few weeks if the weather allows. The customer I was with bought a 25' Trophy two years ago and is giving it to his son and wants a 29' so I got him to the show and he fell in love with the boat. Tony we may get a chance to fish this boat this season

The Everglades layout, fit, and finish is topnotch. Everything is beefy, the finish excellent and the layout of this boat is fantastic. I crawled around the 2 at Providence yesterday. Impressive to say the least.

I was there yesterday as well. Pretty much went there just to see that boat. Went over every inch of that craft and it is loaded to the gills with sweet stuff. The positively bouyant hull is a nice saftey feature as well.
It is a great boat and judging from the sea trials gets damn good economy too. With the twin 300 zukis it will cruise aat 35 with a 2.4 MPG burn rate. That is imprsssive for a single OB going in the 20mph range. Also hits 57 wot.
3 things this boat needs for my liking..

1) IMO it needs to be a hair larger... 2 more feet and 6 more inches of beam would make it perfect. I don't want or need a 57mph top end and would be happy with 45 wot and a 34mph cruise. I would like 2 more feet in the cocpit though.

2) A tad more elbow room in the pilot house. (that is why I want 6 more inches in beam.

3) the msrp is 199 which is insane. You can get it new for 150 and a year old for 115. It has a few too many bells and whistles...however they are all very nice I am not sure which one I would want to give up. That pilot house heater would keep me out there all winter!

Sweet rig. The twin 300's beat the verados on economy by a w i d e margin...but their new electronic controls don't look nearly as nice as the mercs... and I didn't see any similar engine monitoring package like the mercs have.

btw they sold the one at the show...

How are they getting heat in the pilot house with outboards ???

[Little Round]

For 199 msrp. it better be nice. At that price you could get into the Contender 33T brand new, with trips. I haven't seem it, but from the pics I have seem I would like a diffrent, or bigger house. There was a 27 conch for sale in dennis with the nicest house I have seen for a CC. It was pretty big, but the best thing was that it was totally inclosed and had sliding, lockable doors. No curtains. If I'm going to go out in dec/jan other than clamming, I want to shut the doors and have some heat.

Nice layout with the small pilot house and still fishable like a center console!
But 5000lbs dry weight is very light for a 29 ft boat!!!
For 140k, I'd but a Hydrasport 29ft @ 8000 dry weight or a few other boats!
