Swwweeeeetttttt.... Never ridden in one but have seen up close and purty... Must have something going for it seeing that all those Florida guides buy them. Should take a tour of the factory - in Marion or Mattapoiset I think...

There is one in for service at the Key West dealer in Wakefield, it looks really nice, but for that kind of money I would be looking at a Regulator or Contender.

I think one of the members of this forum has a 25' Contender up for sale. It's a beautiful boat.

Yes - it's a beautiful boat! And well taken care of and optioned excellent... In the Newport area right now...

I'll send you his contact details... PM on the way

A 25 Contender is essentially a 27' boat once you look at LOA anyway...

Question 27 Conch

I've got a 17' Aquasport with a 140 Johnson on it
that I fish around Westport Ct and Eatons Neck LI
with.But I want some thing bigger for the big water.I don't like the transoms on the condenders
and the regulators.I'm going to look at the Ray Hunt Boat the Surfrider 25.But I want a center
console that I can trailer. I have emailed and called the Conch people for a brouchure but no luck.I would like to talk to some one who owns one.Thanks

There's one at Dry Dock Marine in Marshfield that was being cleaned up for sale last winter - it is one sweet looking ride, full bolsters, casting cage up on the bow, v like a knife to run like the SKA boys......

big fuel bill too I bet.

Doover, the Conch at Dry Dock Marine in Marshfield is there and still for sale. I was over that way today and saw it sitting out there. Conch is a beautiful boat. It's a 1998 w/twin Yammi 250's. New factory powerheads on the trailer. Asking price on it was $79,000. Seems a little high to me. Looks like it's been fished hard. But, still a very nice rig. If it were my money, I'd probably look at the Contender first. The one Trayder is selling looks to be in overall much better shape but you never know until you really look them over.

Wink 27 Conch

BigBo That's a nice boat! But I want to stay away
from rebuilt motors, for a few more bucks you can
build a new boat.Thanks for the input.
