Anyone know about a CT boat with Yanmar?

BEAUTIFULL 23.

Maybe John R. can search through his "archived seacraft ads tomb" on his 'puter and come up with a 20 foot diesel?

Sweet boat though!

Yeah Matt - You are right except it was a 23.That's the guy I bought mine from, he had gutted mine then came across the inboard and flipped mine over and left it in the yard for a few years.That thing was schweeet.Brand new Yanmar in the console, straight inboard with the tunnel, he shot it with Dupont auto paint.He had it in this brand new HUGE garage he built.The guy's name was Glen, he did fly charters, dear eradication,was restoring a 57 T-Bird, even had some tuna fly patents.He wanted to get an even bigger boat to restore and had no time for mine.He had his diesal listed for the longest time in the boattrader and the bargain news, I think it was worth the $, but it was just out of my league.When he listed mine for $4000, I called got his machine, did the reverse lookup, got the adress and drove straight there.By that time he had already gotten a bunch of calls - so I bought it - he wouldn't take less though.Would have loved that diesal though.

Thanks, Billybob. So much for my memory of it being a 20.

I guess the 20' that SquidRig mentioned earlier is a different boat.

Oops - dear eradication sounds like some kind of hit man for spouses /lovers - must pay well.Glen did deer eradication, you know for those communities that have deer eating the shrubs problems.I gotta admit, I admire the guy for his vocation(s) - sure beats the 9 - 5.

[Matt1121]

I heard he ran over the deer with the old t-bird, and used the hair left over on the grill to make those patented tuna flies for his charter business.

Schweeeeet business plan...sounds like a future Harvard case study.

Thanks for the compliments on the boat ... I bought it from Glen about 1.5 years ago. had it brought down to maryland and put it on a lift on Kent Island. The picture on thehulltruth is relatively current, I've added some electronics and radio. She runs like a dream and can take just about anything the Chesapeake can dish out!! I typically fish in the Kent Island area ... give me a shout if you want to join me for an outing

Matt,

I am just making an educated guess but I think that the boat in MD is the boat that we are discussing...

Maybe billybob can confirm/unconfirm this for us as I think he has actually seen the boat in person?

Or maybe we should email the guy in MD who owns it although, he may choose to ignore a message coming from a bunch of raving seacraft psycho maniacs... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Deep Sushi-

It is either the boat in MD or maybe it is that boat in MA that Squir Dog wrote about earlier. I'd like to see a picture of that one too.
