So what did you all like with the boat show?
I thought the best bang for the buck was the 236 Sailfish from Striper Marina. Liam liked the boat too
. The hull borrows heavily from my favorite, the 23 Seacraft and over all looked good. Not excellent but good. The Transom sucks up a lot of space - almost too much. And it alternated between fantastic hardware and less than mediocre (example - they used barely threaded screws to latch the leaning post seat over the storage bin - very weak). Nicely equipped for 41K (one guy said 44 the other 41).
Those Seaswirls were sweet as usual - still like that 21CC
Plenty of Yami 250HPDIs on display
Hydrasports had some sweet boats. That 240 Vector was nice but that 23 Bay Bolt is sweet. Wouldn't bring it to Cuttyhunk on days other 23s would be fine but it would be great in the Bay or on smooth days in the harbor. Sweetest thing was the amount of room and 2 hughe livewells...
Also met Scott, the owner of Viking Marine (Trayder's sometimes boss , hehehe) and he impressed me as honest & knowledgeable and not the typical boat salesman at all... Their Scout boats are pretty sweet too.
All in all, decent show. Didn't buy anything (never intended too) but had a ball watching my son climb all over the boats. I've also decided that a high wall with a closed off transom is the way to go. Walkarounds are just too easy for him to walk around
