1965 Whaler Sakonnet 16'7" - bought originally by uncle and then passed amongst his family. My cousin and I now own it and mainly use to fish freshwater ponds and Stage Harbor when weather is nasty.

2005 Sea Hunt Triton - love the boat and much safer for my family then the Whaler. I've fished Montauk, BI, Narr Bay, MV, Nantucket, shipping lanes east of Chatham and Stellwagon to Boston Harbor. Thinking about selling next year and upgrading to the 24' model.

Transformation, original with trolling motor added, then T-Top and the best money I've spent was the canvass; boy does that make a huge difference in a small center console. This boat is rock solid and with the canvass, I have the perfect rig for me now.

The BeeReel, 2007 Triumph. I fish it anywhere I can drop it in the water, covered the water from Montauk, BI, to NWC Stellwagon (excluding off Chatham).

Mike, that is a FINE boat you have there. If you really get to that point of selling to buy up, talk to me and give my brother first crack at it if you can. I'm trying to get him to buy a fishing boat next year as he sent his Searay down to Fla. thanks

My baby. 2002 SeaHunt Triton 172. Love the boat and can do almost everything in her. But with the kiddos getting bigger, I'm considering an upgrade this winter.

Had the Triton 172 for 3 years. Great boat but dicey to get outside with. Go up to the Triton 202 and you will find a whole different boat. It's a lot heavier and will stand up to much bigger water.

32' Mirage Pilothouse 2003

Most of you guys have seen all this already but I figured I'd post again for the heck of it.

KAD 300 single diesel. cruise 24-26mph wot 31-33mph. 240 gal of fuel, advertised range 700 miles, realistic range: 550 or so/ 70 gal water, fridge/sink/stove/microwave/bev. cooler/ AC/HEAT/ 110/12/2500watt inverter / head/shower/v birth/rear berth/2 huge fish boxes/ live well/ tackle station/ lots of storage, outside and inside.

Odd looking boat but very practical for my needs and type of of fishing. <10 made with house, most had walk thru CC and tower.

It is no luxury yacht and does not scream across the water but it is pretty comfortable esp in the weather we tend to get here.
Great boat for a 2-4 guys fishing and/or overnight at some distant port. I re-did the inside a bit last winter and did a lot of work in the engine room area.This winter I am thinking of completing some unfinished projects starting a few more and adding a few more goodies.

I get a lot of comments about it, more than any boat I have owned

God damn I love your boat. I loved it the first time you posted pics and it still looks like a monster that could handle anything.

I just pulled the trigger on a 2012 C-Hawk 25 foot center console. Will be named the "Courtney Lynn" after my better half. I think the length is 24'10", beam is 9'6". This is a photo of the stock hull, I'm having mine customized a bit for fishing/diving/family friendliness. Adding a bowrail, adding a huge casting deck/sunpad in the bow with bow dodger, enclosed transom with bracket in back. Adding power when the hull is shipped here in June 2012. SHould serve as a functional platform for 3/4 guys throwing eels and plugs, or for when I'm playing with the wife, 3 sons, and the golden retriever, who is 12 and I pray he hangs around long enough to enjoy this boat.

Love the Sea Hunts. And you don't see too many Key Largos. I kept my Key West boat at a marina in CT that sold Key Largos, the owner took me for a ride in the 23 center, supposedly the same mold as a sea craft?

I had a great year boating. I know it's not a Grady but I went safely to the bank all summer.
We went out Thanksgiving weekend on Jeffries...

Absolutely Bruce. Dropping her off this weekend for winter storage. Usually have her running again by first week April. Will let you know by May what my intentions are.

Mike , it would be worth you money to go to the keys .........you,ll find anything you could ever want for @ least 25% less.

I,ve never seen so many fishing machines for sale in my life .

I was talking to a bar tender & we got around to the economy ........... he said the boats went 1st & then the houses ;;

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!

21' Contender

Had to go all the way to Mississippi to find her. This pic was taken when I got her home 2 years ago (still had Miss reg #'s in the pic).

I love it. Added outriggers and thinking about radar next. Had her down to the Figs off Chatham and out to Wildcat out of Green Harbor. Fast little boat that gets you there and back fast.
