new ride
I pulled the trigger and put a deposit down.
32' Mirage pilothouse
Single diesel delivers 3.5 miles per gallon, 700 mile range and 30 mph cruise, sleeps 4 (albeit tightly), and has good protection from the shoulder season elements and basic creature comforts and great fish-ability.
It has some issues too and will be a bit of a project and take me a few years to get it the way I want it but the good outweighs the not-so-good. Hope to have it up this way by Christmas. HOHOHO!

One of the best riding boats out there. Very economical and extremely well built. Excellent choice.
When are we going to the canyons?

That is a machine! Paint it battleship grey and mount a 50 cal on the bow and you could do some damage!  Seriously though, she's gorgeous. Best of luck!

Thank you all for your well wishes. I have my work cut out for me with this one. Should be fun when it is done, will be a nightmare until then. Step one: Get it here and store it.
