Great boat.

My old dentist up north charters one out of Chatham on the Cape for
striper fishing.


It seems ideal for fishing, although it has the engine doghouse in the
cockpit. (His has the Perkins diesel). The boat seems to sit heavy towards
the bow though ... he had a problem with the bilge pump and all the water
was running forward. I also noticed that yesterday, after some rain, that
his cockpit had a bit of standing water in it. The way the boat sits it
doesn't seem to naturally run off through the scuppers. Maybe he just has a
lot of stuff stored up in the cabin area.
