I wouldn't buy a boat I would just charter the best boats and captains every weekend during the season for the rest of my life. You could probably do that off the interest of a good 100 grand investment and none of the headaches of boat ownership. Paul

Osprey went out of buisness this year, so you would have to look for a used one!
They did make an awesome Volvo diesel inboard with a dual prop out drive!!!

Polar 27 ft CC, Would not change our new boat for the world, we are very impressed with it. If you want a heavy, nice riding center consol, very dry, with twin 225's yamaha's 4 strokes and a fishing machine, you can't go wrong. Got boat, motors and trailer, with all the goodies for under $100,000. Also has a full size head, Life is good!!!!!!!!!!

Julie,
One improvement if to do if you were to do it again would be to get the f250s instead of the 225s you have and that boat will do between 60 - 65 mpr!!!

Jarvis Newman 32, cat diesel w/ dry stack through the house and keel coolers.
Never have to come out of the water that way, and you run fresh instead of salt through the engine.



or a used late 90's N/M 50 (hmmm ex-Snow Leopard) w/ full B&G and 3DL set up for offshore. footballs? hello Azores.

30+' gaff-rigged schooner, wooden hull, all the nav goodies, watermaker, tender, cannon, large poo tank. The best of both worlds -- sailing AND fishing. One day, one day.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.
