I also fell for the low used boat prices

I could not resist adding to the fleet. I always admired these boats but they were out of reach. With todays used boat prices I just couldn't help myself. I did get help from our CSC member caymanboy for surveying and test rides. Thanks again, Ole

! BEWARE used boat prices are intoxicting.

Used to fish on a 29 w a Cummins 330 Diamond series. Your gonna love it. Watch the caulking/ seal along the leading edge of the euro transom cap down low. Some would take water there. Hey no boat is perfect, but I loved fishing w/ Scotty on his.

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I'll add a high water alarm.
This boat is pretty much un used. It sat on the trailer most of it's life without motors. I'm learning to like it. I need more time to fish! I'm just adding electronics and rigging.

Those seavee's are nice. I understand that they have a great ride. When we went to Bimini, we made some friends who were on a Seavee. The boat was loaded out; it even had the demisters in the T-top and under the gunnels.

I would say the ride is like my 23 seacraft if the seacraft were 29 ft long. The rigging, wiring, plumbing, built in the floor live well with a LED light are such high end I may have to upgrade my fishing wardrobe. I'm installing a Garmin 4212 this weekend if time permits. I'm putting in a boat lift this winter so I don't have to paint the bottom. I know what you mean about the truck grunting when you pull the trailer/boat. It is a mighty long rig when backing into a parking space. Between the new boat, 8 week old retriever puppy and bass fishing I don't know if I have time for work.LOL

Pretty boat!

Boat looks nice sitting upo there in the water, was happy to help, hope it turned out the way you wanted, Zach, I have another one hitting the water this week, you will see it around town, Flag Blue hull, red boot top, turned out to be a nice boat, got a 150 four stroke on it.

Very nice, how do you like it with the 150 4s?

You going to the show this weekend? I'll hopefully be down for it.

Nevermind, just saw your pictures. Looks great.

Stoney, Very nice ride...How stable are these on the drift compared to a 23 SC?
