PVD Boatshow

The best looking 24-25 footers I saw

24' Everglades
25' Bluefin (best looking hull)
24' Century Best fit and finish... possible charter boat discounts
25' Hdyrasport Nice all around boat and offered a great price

How is the 25' Hydrasport ride... looks very fishable

I took a look at the 25 Hydrosport as well as the dealer demo Albemarle 268. It's nice to dream no? No new boat for me this year. After talking about trading up and seeing the figures, I realized my current boat fits my needs. And I just have to stop going to all of these boat shows and dreaming!!!

I am going to need a good tax write off for 2007 for my boat maintenance business. I use the boat for on the water service and other logistic reasons. Plus I will still be doing a few charters but want to fish more tournaments...

Who has time in the 25' Hydrasport?

don't know any names but there are some made in Wareham
shouldn't be too hard to find

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
