Anybody fish on a boat with an I/o like that with the doghouse in the cockpit? Does it get in the way?

Depending on how may guys you have on board, the doghouse makes a goos spot for gear, cleaning fish etc.

I am still in love

This boat is very very cool. $140k for a boat that will last a lifetime. I am a sucker for cuttyhunk bass boats. I fished as a mate for several summers on a 28ft Brownell. Solid platform with beautiful lines. Many days sitting in a nasty rips like wasque, 2 hours into the tide. I like having aft controls, so when the stuff hits the fan, you don't have to run to the helm to get out of danger. I am testing an Albermarle 26 on Saturday and am waiting to hear back from the folks at Holby.

I hate boat shows. I have a very bad disease. I am a sailor at heart, however, I love fishing for Bass.I fish in the morning and sail in the afternoon every weekend from May-October. Then strickly fishing into December.

I dream about fishing, waking up as I set the hook. I need help. Maybe an intervention and a 12 step program.\

I could think of a couple appologies for that part that I could give to my girlfriend for all the times I've said I'll be back around noon and then found the fish at 11:30...

Just find a doweast boat used for short money. BHM, JC, OSMAND, Genral Marine. If you look in the right places, you will find alot more boat, for alot less money. 140k for a 24??? That is just insane.

I/O = no thank you. For 140 Large I would expect some teak toe rails and maybe a teak winshield. Allot of money for 24 feet. For that money you could be in a 26 Fortier.
