Zac,

Those are some nice rigs, I should hire you as my agent and help me find a boat!

Actually, we are looking at an Osprey. There is a 28 with a single diesel and a new model this year 30' with twins. I hope to see one at the Boston show. I don't want an engine box in my cockpit esp against the transom. I know the 28 and 30 have a clear deck. Also I keep looking at the mirage 32. What do you have in a 48' trawler? (wifes first choise)

If I had the cash I would just get a Predator. I love the way that boat moves.

Sounds good to me. You can pay me with the SeaCraft.

Boy I love dreaming about boats. Don't even get me started on sailboats....One day I would really love to just sell everything and buy a hinkley or little harbour or whatever and just sail it around the world. I'm not sure how I would feed my family, though. Still working on that part...

Jim, How about a 37' Egg ?

I had a 33 egg, nice comfortable boat but slow and a bit of a gas hog.
I went smaller now time to move back up a bit.


Zac,
Nice but I think I have to cap my fishing boat price at about 100-150K tops. Not 1.5 mil. If you have a mil to blow you can get a awesome rig. I dream about them all the time too...

oooh, its low tide here...gotta run and get my weekly scallop limit...bye

I wouldn't want anything requiring a "crew" to operate. Give me Blackwatch or 30 something Bertie or Carolina Classic or maybe even a JC for the "big boat", a bracketed 23 SC for bassin & tuna, 1 20 SC for the bay and inshore, and a 16' Quintrex for rock hopping - that would round out a "Four Boat Theory©" for me

I see that Cabo just came out with a 54 express! John, Next year I have to get you out on my boat.

I like your "Four Boat Theory©" very much, however I would have to throw a sailboat in there.

40-50 ft Cruising / Racing sailboat (Swan?)
30-40 ft Offshore sportfish (Egg?)
20-30 ft Inshore sportfish (Regulator?)
20-30 ft Racing Sailboat (Etchell?)
17-20 ft bay boat/tender (Edgewater?)

OK, I just changed it to a "Five Boat Theory©" because I would need a small crew racing sailboat as well.

That Pursuit is pretty much my dream boat, so to speak, except for that fact that it's OBs. A Rampage wouldn't be too shabby either. Perhaps an early nineties Wellcraft Coastal 28.I WILL get a new boat this offseason if everything goes according to plan (but does it ever?).

yeah we were looking at the bigger diesel inboards, but we decided that i dont have the patience to go that slow. (all the diesel inboards we could afford were too slow, and the fast ones, way way out of my price range).

i tried chasing a 40 ft cabo express in our mako...at WFO i was just barely gaining on him...i was doing 44 mph according to my gps. i think that boat goes for about 800k new.

so we stuck with outboards, which is what we know. so far it's fast enough. we often cruise at 4500 rpms which is 38 mph and 1.1 mpg.

one day once my powerball number hits:
