Boat Show

Bring me the 33 Fountain or the 38 Rampage. Would you take a check

That 33 Fountain is THE boat. Does 50 with twins on the back and has an unbelievable layout. If I hit the lottery that might make an appearance in the yard. Also loved the 26 Glacier Bay "Canyon Runner" edition. That will get a real SERIOUS look next year along with the Carolina Classic 25'. That was my favorite boat. Some of the new electronics were simply amazing. Great take and it was not crowded at all. Finally a nice CC was the 26' Jones Brothers. Just wish it had a hardtop instead of a canvas top.

Retro Marine - I really like this boat, tons of deck space. Only draws 9" but just don't know how it would run in a 3' chop.

I was looking at that 25 Carolina Classic also (dreaming) but did you notice it didn't have any fish boxes??? I asked the folks there and they confirmed this. Now the next size up was a beauty, extra 2' at the beam with plenty of storage.

I went twice, once tuesday with the wife & kids and again last night. I've been talking with the guys at Pike/Eagle Marine re the new 220VX Hydrasports. Absolutely awesome boat. I couldn't pull the trigger at the show but will be crucnhing some numbers soon. If not this season, most likely next.

Mike,
Agreed there arent any fish boxes but the platform will allow two huge coolers which can double as seats work stations what have you without compromising the fishability of the cockpit. I just like the ultra heavy built deisel powered mini battlewagon. Great reliability, seakeeping, due to belly weight and its overall efficiency. That other boat you like is one hell of a boat.

well then you might as well nip that 2'itice and just get the 28 Carolina . Love that boat, but for the same if not less money you could get the Proline 32.

is that a 70 on the back?

it is, and I think 130hp is max. If it could cruise at 22 - 25kts I'd be very happy.
