Anyone thinking about new boats for next season?

[Mr. Sandman]

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.
