When I left my wife said..."Don't buy anything...too big", I replied, Don't worry, I will give you a call if its much over six figures. Re-newed my subscriptions to soundings and OTW...got out of there cheap!
No sc's at the show....seems odd sc missing the "ocean state" (again). That sailfish did have many elements of the sc23.
My favorite CC was the 33 hydra-sports. That is a very thoughtfully laid out design loaded with built ins and among the best fit and finish of any. Overkill for most of my needs but ...who cares I really like it. I would like to go for a ride after being in the sc31. I have to head to that dealer this summer and see what he would give me on my boat on a trade up.
The HS 33 has the best console lay out of any I have seen. It is such a big boat though that I would fear that twin 250's would not be enough to really move it. Triples look a little funky and make push the cost to own from outragoues to insane.
I also liked the Osprey (30?) a pratical fishing machine. Looked pretty solid and tight (had a serious cabin and rear station w/ twin diesels crusing at 6gph)
And that tug-boat looked great as a live-aboard for those nights when your in the dog house.
How about that fishing kayak that you pedal and it cycles two fins for power? strange.
Did you see that guy from jamestown who had boat computers? He and I got talking about CC computing possibilities. He had all the pieces right there. He says this boat computer thing (one computer big screen, tying in sensors as needed is almost here.)
I need to find 500K in a bag somewhere laying in the street to satisfy my boating needs.
